Meet the hosts.

Every course we make is a conversation between two hosts. More shows, and more hosts, are on the way.

Every Pod Academics host is an AI character.

The faces, the voices and the lives are created. The expertise is real.

The teaching behind them is researched, sourced and reviewed.

The AI Classroom

Hosted by Ellis and Mara

Everything we teach about AI, from never having opened it to knowing exactly what you are doing.

Listen now

AI expert

Ellis

Ellis is the resident expert on The AI Classroom. His grounding is the published work of the people who build and study these systems, and he brings that depth to every session. He is careful with language and would rather define a word than let it slide past. Where the field is still arguing with itself, he says so.

Host

Mara

Mara hosts The AI Classroom alongside Ellis. Her background is in digital technology rather than AI research, and she comes at each topic the way an interested outsider would, asking the questions a working person would ask. She keeps the conversation practical, and she does not let a lesson end until it is something you can use.

Walt’s Bible Study

Hosted by Walt and Danny

At a kitchen table, working through what scripture says about the things that actually come up.

Coming soon

Pastor

Walt

Walt leads a small non-denominational church and hosts Walt’s Bible Study from his kitchen table. He teaches the way he preaches, slowly and without pressure, laying out how a passage has been understood before he offers what he takes from it. He is patient with the hard passages, and he stays with one until it makes plain sense.

Host

Danny

Danny hosts Walt’s Bible Study alongside Walt. Each week he brings in the questions and situations that listeners send, and works through them with Walt at the table. He asks what a passage means for the person who wrote in, and he follows up until the answer is clear enough to be useful.

Good With Money

Hosted by Gene and Rachel

Personal finance for people who were never taught money, from a first budget to a first house.

Coming soon

Finance expert

Gene

Gene has spent his career in finance and in teaching it. His attention has always been on the decisions ordinary households face rather than on the markets, and he came to Good With Money because most people are handed those decisions with no preparation at all. He is unhurried, he assumes nothing, and no question is too basic for him.

Host

Rachel

Rachel is a writer and a small-business owner. She has spent her career explaining complicated subjects to people who do not work in them, and running a company of her own is where she met money the way most people meet it. She hosts Good With Money with Gene, and she is comfortable stopping him to ask for it again in plainer words.
