Macsparky: https://www.macsparky.com/ Stephen Fry on AI: https://youtu.be/-Cw37g39g00?si=4uHb006ynMa82UuP Last month, we announced that instead of abruptly shutting down the podcast, we would transition to an irregular release schedule. We will only record and post a podcast when we have something we genuinely believe is worth sharing. To make it easier for you to avoid missing an episode, we are setting up a mailing list. When a new episode is released, we will send you an email notification. Just send a message to twoteacherstalking@gmail.com with the subject line “LEMME KNOW.” This will inform you whenever a new episode is released. And let your friends and colleagues know, too. If you’ve already asked to be added to the list, there’s no need to ask again. Full notes can be found here: Two Teachers Talking: twoteacherstalking.org…
