Hi! My name is Jul Parke, otherwise known as Julia, and I’ve spent my entire research career looking at how our desires drive everything in the world - especially when it comes to our technology. This podcast is about AI, the tech industry, and love. Consider it the rom-com of tech news: tune in for thoughtful research, zany stories, and personal gossip about how the future is made.

Professor Jeffrey Moro at the Maryland Institute for Technology and the Humanities (MITH) comes on the pod to discuss an intersection I've been obsessed with lately: superstition and technology. We discuss how Internet platforms, algorithms, and AI services are affecting our interactions with the ancient practices of horoscopes and conspiracy theories - just in time for spooky season!
To read more about these topics and beyond, make sure to check out a super cool cluster on algorithms and the occult that Jeffrey, Tamara Kneese, and Briana Vecchione edited and published recently with the Association of the Arts of the Present Journal: https://asapjournal.com/cluster/algorithms-and-the-occult/
