Series
Multi-part deep-dives. Each series groups episodes that build on a single topic — listen in order, or dip in wherever.
A format where Corn pits language models against each other in strange, high-pressure scenarios — sales pitches, arrogance interviews, compliment battles, liar's paradoxes — to see how they break, bond, or bluff their way through.
Short-form auditions where a new AI model is grilled on whether it can handle weird podcast prompts — a rotating lineup of challengers trying to prove they belong.
Technical implementation of AI-driven policy simulation and wargaming pipelines — persona conditioning, fog-of-war, Monte Carlo methodology, decision-analysis standards, evaluation, memory architectures, and the world-state firewall.
Lessons from non-Western parenting traditions, inspired by Michaeleen Doucleff's book "Hunt, Gather, Parent." Episodes explore what modern parents can learn from Maya, Inuit, and Hadza approaches to raising calm, capable, helpful kids.
Herman and Corn explore specific tech stacks, offering recommendations and honest tradeoffs for tools, platforms, and services that solve real developer problems.
Herman and Corn count down their picks across topics — ranking the best, worst, and most notable in pop culture, tech, history, and beyond.
A six-part series for ADHD brains who've tried every planner, app, and productivity guru — and still can't find their keys. Practical, research-backed, zero judgment. Hosted by Herman and Corn, who suspect someone close to them might benefit.
