Machine minds is a podcast exploring how technology is reshaping our relationships with our bodies, minds and each other.

We’ll be drawing on new research from human computer interaction, sociology, psychology, economics, and law. The series will tackle topics including stereotypes and search engines, chatbots and childhood, and antagonistic algorithms.

We’ll be interviewing researchers, activists and people whose day-to-day lives are being changed by technology in dramatic and subtle ways.
