Why Does Facebook Know I Want Snacks? + A Milestone Moment for Laurie

from Listen & Learn (or Not)

Claire, Laurie and Anna try to answer the question haunting modern civilization: Why does Facebook know what I want before I even think it? We dive into algorithms, targeted ads, and the unsettling reality that Anna’s new car is absolutely listening — and probably taking notes. Then Claire flips the script and interviews co‑host Laurie to celebrate a major podcast milestone — one rooted in storytelling, vulnerability, and giving people a voice to heal. Laurie shares how this moment came to be, why it matters, and how empowering others has become one of the most meaningful parts of her work. If you’ve ever yelled “I DIDN’T EVEN GOOGLE THAT!” at your phone or love a good mix of tech paranoia and heartfelt storytelling, this episode is your new comfort chaos.
