Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Craft: Exploring Creativity

Identical twins Adam and David Moss perform as the Brother Brothers, and they’ll be in Columbus on January 10, 2024, with Six String Concerts. Their latest release is The January Album , so named because they recorded it in January 2021. Adam regards it as their “most collaborative effort yet,” with the brothers working closely throughout the recording and production. Tune in to hear more about their music, their influences and which brother is into Brazilian Tropicalia right now (hint, it’s not the one you think).…
New York Times best-selling author Tod Goldberg has turned to editing for his latest work, Hanukkah Noir: Eight Very Bad Nights . The collection features 11 stories by critically acclaimed authors and explores the dark, noir side of Hanukkah. As Goldberg puts it: Hanukkah is the perfect holiday for a noir setup because it’s eight nights. By about the third night, if you’re with your family, you’re ready to kill somebody. When he isn’t destroying a beloved holiday, Goldberg is a professor wf writing as well as a hardboiled author who specializes in “ bad people doing bad things to worse people.” Check out his anthology and maybe dip into his very interesting back catalog that includes original novelizations for the TV show Burn Notice .…
Science writer Erika Engelhaupt, author of one of my favorite recent books, Gory Details: Adventures From the Dark Side of Science , joins me to discuss her new book Go to Hell: A Traveler’s Guide to Earth’s Most Otherworldly Destinations . It’s a travel bucket list with over 50 destinations worldwide that are linked to various interpretations of hell, underworlds, and eerie locations. Engelhaupt says that “cultures throughout history and around the world have had some kind of version of the underworld,” so she worked with the editors at National Geographic to create a book that highlights some of these underworlds. From the Gates of Hell crater in Turkmenistan (but missing the Gates of Hell in Clintonville ) to the Hell Cave of Ireland to the Bracken Bat Cave in Texas, Engelhaupt has plenty of hellish locations for you. Check it out.…
Columbus poet Darren C. Demaree makes his returns to Craft to discuss his latest poetry collection, his 23rd: So Much More . He explores death, fatherhood, nature, and empathy, along with other topics. Demaree discusses his approach to poetry, emphasizing the importance of the writing process over the final product. Demaree’s productivity may be partly explained by his personal rituals, such as consuming sugar only while writing. Listen in to the interview to hear more about his feelings about the future and the socio-political landscape of Ohio. Craft-2024-11-23-Darren_Demaree Download…
What does is take to be a successful comedian, like David Nihill? Practice. And a desire to tell people interesting facts, like Columbus used to have the oldest captive gorilla and currently has the longest span, single tower S-shaped suspension bridge in the world . Irish author, comedian, speaker, and coach David Nihill will be in Columbus on November 16 with his Shelf Help tour, discussing books and telling the audience which are the best ones to read. Nihill’s love of travel is intertwined with his love of reading, since travel invariably involves a lot of waiting and downtime. He’s lived in 12 countries and visiting over 70, so he’s got plenty of material for the show, much of which involves cultural observations and humor derived from his experiences. Nihill’s book Do You Talk Funny? is aimed at helping people understand how better to relate humorous stories, so come out to the show on November 16 and see how he does.…
Most scary Halloween stories work because evil creatures or people threaten the protagonist is threatened by. “Torture the women!” Hitchcock famously said. But this year’s halloween story considers the question of “Who’s the monster?” something worth considering at any time of year, but especially in the fall. Cast Students from Christopher Ray’s Whetstone Academy of Performing Arts (Whetstone High School) Dominic Holmes – Malik Collins Diesel Berkowitz – Gage Freshour Hannah Kemper – Opal Shipley Almarie Shawcross – Lilian Debelius Dianne Shawcross – Evelyn Boreman Police officer – Cruz Reyes Audio editing by June Crowe from Ryan Van Bibber’s Audio Production class at Fort Hayes…
The days are getting shorter, a chill is in the air, and pumpkins are attacked mercilessly by knife-wielding maniacs: it must be Halloween season. It’s also one of the favorite times of year of Maxwell I. Gold , a Columbus native, author, and executive director of the Horror Writers Association . We discussed his work in weird and cosmic fiction, including his latest, the poetry collection Bleeding Rainbows and Other Broken Spectrums . This Bram Stoker Award-nominated collection contains cosmic horror and homoerotic elements and is organized by color and historical symbols. We talked about his journey into horror writing, the influence he experienced from weird fiction, and the evolution of his unique voice. He also highlights his role at the Horror Writers Association and provides insights into their membership structure. Listen in. If you dare……

Singer-songwriter Ruth Moody will be in Columbus on September 27 with Six String Concerts . We discussed her new solo album “Wanderer,” her first in a decade, which reflects on motherhood, grief, and love. The album, recorded in Nashville, is deeply personal and resonates with her audience through its emotional vulnerability. She details the challenges of balancing motherhood with her career, including the difficulty of touring with a young child and the need to write in short, focused intervals. Moody also shares her journey of learning various instruments, including piano, guitar, banjo, accordion, and bodhrán, and her experience collaborating with Mark Knopfler. Ruth Moody Full Download…
Poet George Bilgere, aka, Our Man in Berlin , drops by to discuss his latest, Cheap Motels of My Youth , which began at a café in Berlin and won the Rattle Magazine chapbook contest. We talk about his writing process, family, and approach to poetry in the digital age. He reads several of his poems, providing a fascinating glimpse into his creative life, largely brought on by being in Berlin (ok, I may be exaggerating here for reasons that will become clear when you listen to the podcast). For more from him, visit his radio show Wordplay and his recently launched Poetry Town , an online poem-a-day series.…
Violinist Savannah Buist, cellist Katie Larson, and percussionist Michael Dause make up The Accidentals, who will perform in Columbus on March 12 with Six String Concerts . I spoke with Sav and Katie about their time as musicians, how the pandemic changed their musical abilities (think: engineering), and how they got to cowrite with some of their musical heroes on the Timeout Project. “The timeout project is actually kind of a side project …[and] a bunch of cowrites that we do with people who inspire us to become writers, such as … Beth Nielsen Chapman, Maia Sharp, Tom Paxton, Gretchen Peters, Gary Burr, and Georgia Middlemen.” -Sav Buist…
