🎙️ S2 E13: We Let AI Interview Us – It Got Weird

from Awesomely Off-Topic: Books, Brands, Business and Everything Else We’re Not Supposed to Say Out Loud · host Taz Thornton and Asha Clearwater

An AI handed us a list of “Ask Me Anything” questions and we made the bold choice to answer them cold. That’s how you end up trying to explain bingo to an alien anthropologist, debating why angling feels like a bizarre human ritual, and wondering which completely normal thing should have gone extinct by now. It’s fast, messy, and very us. We bounce from the ridiculous to the oddly revealing: pointless expertise (card making, macramé and all the hobbies people will defend to the death), conspiracy theories invented purely for entertainment, fictional characters who would be unbearable in real life, and the historical eras that live in our heads rent free. Along the way we hit the big British cultural references, the comfort-watch obsessions, and the strange niche knowledge you collect without meaning to. Then the chat gets more grounded. We talk neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, and why open-plan workspaces can feel like sensory torture. We also go seriously into animal welfare, vegan convenience food that still sneaks in eggs and milk, and why breeding brachycephalic dogs and cats to struggle for breath is heartbreaking. If you like a funny podcast that can pivot into real principles without losing pace, this one will land. If you enjoy it, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who loves a chaotic Q&A, and leave us a review. PS: It's time gor a human AMA episode!
