The Things We Make
by Yixia Fan
The Things We Make is a podcast about technology and everything that comes with it. Each topic unfolds across two episodes. The first takes you into an imaginary world through an original sci-fi story I’ve written, brought to life by an AI voice. In the second, you’ll hear from me as we explore the real science and ethical questions behind it. Occasionally, I’ll also interview professors to hear their perspectives. We’ll explore what technology makes possible, whom it serves, and what we might overlook along the way.
