    AI can keep you alive forever. Should it?

    The AI digital afterlife industry is here. But can legal and ethical frameworks keep us safe from it? Companies are already popping up to create artificial life-like renderings of your loved ones.

What's stopping companies from using these so-called AI deadbots from selling you products? This is AI + U. Each Monday this month, Brittany is exploring how you are already seeing the impacts of AI in your daily life. In this episode Brittany is joined by NPR's culture correspondent Chloe Veltman to get into the rise of of the AI digital afterlife industry.

    How do we talk about Charlie Kirk?

    How did you respond to the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Many mourned or called for revenge. Others pointed to Kirk's extreme, bigoted statements as justification. But how do those reactions impact how the American public will metabolize another instance of gun violence? Brittany is joined by Abené Clayton, a gun violence reporter for The Guardian, to get into how Kirk's assassination fits into the broader narrative of political violence and how Kirk's own statements about guns will shape the coming political discourse.

    Is he a good guy? Or is he manipulating you?

    There's a new man in town: the "performative male." Is he trying to trick you into thinking he's open-minded, or does he really like reading books and drinking matcha? We're breaking down what's gender performance and what's gender manipulation. In this episode, Brittany is joined by Manny Fidel, host of No Such Thing, and James Factora, staff writer for Them. They get into what makes a "performative male" and why criticism of them is a sign that some liberals are guilty of gender policing.

  5. Is “Kidz Bop: It’s the Devil” the song of the summer?

    Is “Kidz Bop: It’s the Devil” the song of the summer?

    KPop Demon Hunters, or as Brittany's mom keeps mistakenly calling it "Kidz Bop: It's the Devil," is dominating the music charts. And, thank god! These bombastic bangers are a welcome reprieve after a summer full of sad songs. We need to talk about those bangers, but we also need to talk about the void KPop Demon Hunters is filling. This summer was lacking a true shiny, shimmering song of the summer. Where were the bops? Where were the ubiquitous, undeniable culture uniting hits? It's disappointing we don't have an anthem to point to – but it's also telling. Brittany sits down with Stephen Thompson, host for NPR Music and co-host of Pop Culture Happy Hour, to discuss what we had instead of songs of the summer – and what that tells us about how our musical landscape has changed.

  6. The lessons I learned from 'Alligator Alcatraz'

    The lessons I learned from 'Alligator Alcatraz'

    The Florida detention center, "Alligator Alcatraz," may close, but what can you learn from its short but impactful run? First, the name echoes old Southern American racist tropes and adapts them for a modern audience. Second, its casually playful name is a blueprint for other detention centers popping up across the United States. But what does this all add up to? In this episode, Brittany, freelance journalist Asher Elbein, and Miami Herald race and identity reporter Raisa Habersham unpack the racist trope of alligators in Florida and how the joke-ified name of the facility dehumanizes its inmates.

    Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce need your attention

    It's official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce posted one of the most liked Instagram photos of all time. Also, they're officially engaged.  Swift and Kelce are no strangers to the spotlight, but we still know very little about their relationship aside from what they are willing to share. And Molly McPherson, a public relations expert, says that's no accident. In this episode, Brittany returns to a conversation she had with Molly back when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce first started dating, and Brittany and Molly discuss why Swift and Kelce need your attention to fuel the business of their relationship and meet stakeholders's (from fans to the NFL) wants and needs. Plus, Brittany and Molly get into how you can use Swift and Kelce's strategy in your own life.

  8. Did Trump bet wrong? Americans are flip-flopping.

    Did Trump bet wrong? Americans are flip-flopping.

    Have Americans changed their minds? Polling on immigration suggests a seismic shift in public opinion. According to Gallup, 79% of Americans now say immigration is a good thing for the country, which is a record high. Plus, the share of Americans who want lower rates of immigration has dropped from 55% in 2024 to 30% this year. And it's not just this poll showing a shift in how we think about immigration. But why has this change happened? And where might we see reverberations of this in our culture? Brittany digs into the data and the consequences for the Trump administration with Jasmine Garsd, NPR senior immigration correspondent, and Christian Paz, political correspondent at Vox.
