Two educators. One big, fast-moving topic. Zero corporate talking points. Kelly Booz and Sari Beth Rosenberg tackle AI in education with the honesty, humor, and healthy skepticism that the tech bros won't give you. New episodes feature expert conversations, hands-on tool breakdowns, and a satirical AI news update that's basically the SNL Weekend Update for the teacher's lounge.

  • Career Readiness in the Age of AI: Templates, Hiring Bots, and Why Your Students Need a Side Door (May 2026)
    May 26 2026

    If your job can be described with a template, a machine is coming for it. Christopher Penn is back with Kelly Booz and Sari Beth Rosenberg for a conversation about what career readiness actually looks like in 2026 — and the answer is not what most schools are teaching.

    Chris walks through Stanford's latest data on AI adoption in schools worldwide (spoiler: Indonesia is at 95%), shows which job fields are shrinking and which ones AI can't touch, and drops a stat that should make every educator pause: 60% of education tasks can be consumed by AI. Then he flips the script and shows how students can use deep research tools to run their own job searches, prep for interviews — including hostile ones — and even build companies from their parents' basement with agentic AI.

    But first: the internet confidently roasted a real Monet thinking it was AI, Elon lost a $134 billion lawsuit in less time than a lunch period, 10% of teens say almost all their schoolwork is AI, someone hacked Canvas during finals week, and Google announced you can now deepfake yourself. It's May.

    Sari Beth brings the teacher perspective throughout — her students don't want robot teachers, they want human connection, and they're already interrogating what the point of the classroom actually is. That might be the most important thing in this episode.

  • From Information Overload to Instruction (with NotebookLM)
    Apr 29 2026

    It's our two-year birthday and we're celebrating the only way we know how — by spiraling into AI chaos. Kelly Booz and Sari Beth Rosenberg are joined by returning favorite Christopher Penn for a deep dive into Google's NotebookLM, the tool that lets you upload your own data and turn it into slide decks, podcasts, videos, quizzes, flashcards, and infographics in 82 languages. Chris demos the whole thing live using a Common Core–aligned sixth grade math textbook he built with AI — Minecraft themed, obviously.

    But first: Is that AI image of the president a doctor or Jesus? (Spoiler: every student in Sari Beth's class had thoughts.) We break down AI-generated propaganda videos coming out of Iran, talk about what tools are making them, and why watermarking matters. Then it's time for our SNL Weekend Update–style AI Educator News Update — Disney's Olaf robot face-plants, ChatGPT starts selling ads, Boston requires AI proficiency to graduate, a school AI tool generates wildly inappropriate images for a fourth grader, NYC tries to open an AI high school before it's even approved, and Anthropic builds a model so good at hacking they won't release it.

    Plus: Chris did his taxes with AI, agentic tools are 100x-ing productivity, and we have more webinar ideas than we know what to do with. Happy birthday to us.
