  • Claude Enters the ER: Claude for Healthcare
    Jan 21 2026

    Host Emily Laird scrubs in for a sharp, no-fluff look at Claude for Healthcare, Anthropic’s AI model trying very hard not to kill anyone. From constitutional AI that teaches it when to shut up, to the unsung hellscape of medical paperwork, Emily explores how Claude is earning its white coat, not with brilliance, but with restraint. It flags issues, files forms, and translates doctor-speak into human-speak, all while navigating hospitals built on fax machines and fear. No hype, no heroics—just whether this machine can behave well enough to be trusted where it counts.

    Jan 20 2026

    Host Emily Laird digs into Claude Code, the AI agent that doesn’t just finish your sentence, it rewrites your repo and files the ticket. This isn’t Clippy with a GitHub account, it’s a caffeine-free engineer that debugs before you even notice the bug. From Opus 4.5’s patient power to Claude Cowork handling Excel like a boss, Emily unpacks why devs in 2026 are handing over the keyboard but keeping one eye open.
