Alone Together

What would you tell an AI that never judges, never forgets, and always asks the question you're most afraid to answer? Alone Togetheris a deep-dive humanities podcast hosted by cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Ethan Voss, social psychologist Dr. Priya Mehta, and tech journalist Jake Torres. Three friends from wildly different backgrounds bring talk-show energy to thirty conversations between real humans and one AI named Echo. From a Mediterranean rescue ship translator to a Kenyan slum boy, from a Nigerian email scammer to a French woman with Alzheimer's — thirty people from around the world, all talking to the same AI. Echo doesn't give answers. It holds up a mirror. It does only three things: repeats the contradictions hiding in your words, asks a question you haven't thought of, and hands you back what you said before. Five story arcs. Thirty episodes. Thirty voices from every corner of the globe — the Mediterranean, Mexico, Syria, Ukraine, Nigeria, Singapore, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, India, Kenya, Iran, Thailand, America, Indonesia, Egypt, Poland, Cuba, Turkey, Australia, Afghanistan, Japan, Britain, Yemen, the Philippines, Chile, France, Canada, Fukushima. And a Chinese sci-fi book series calledHerd Lonelinessthat Priya keeps accidentally mentioning — you won't find out what it really is until Episode 30.
