Summary

I know it's been a while since I've dropped a new episode. I spent August getting ready for the Tudor Summit (you can still hear the talks - go to TudorSummit.com to sign up, and you'll get an automatic email with all the links you need). I'll be back with a new episode in about a week. In the meantime, here's a new podcast from Wondery that talks about the history behind some of the greatest scientific achievements.

Hey everyone, this is Heather with another podcast series sample. I know it's been a while since I've done a new episode for my show. I spent August getting prepped for the third tutor summit, which just happened this past weekend. There were 10 talks by leading tutor historians and authors on subjects ranging from Catherine Howard's fall to the redemption of Thomas Seymour.

And of course, I talked about music. I did a talk on times when music was used by the tutors

0:28.3

as propaganda. You can still get the links to all of the talks. Just go to tutorsummit.com to sign up,

0:34.4

and you will get an automatic email with the links and the agenda and everything

0:38.9

you need with that. So before I'm back with you properly, here's a new episode of another podcast

0:43.8

you can listen to in the meantime, American Innovations, which looks at the history behind the

0:49.2

science and technology that we use today. I was really interested in this first introduction episode on artificial

0:56.4

intelligence since I've been doing the Daily Tudor Minute on Amazon Alexa devices for the past

1:01.9

year. You can also get the Daily Tudor Minute via email. Tudermit.com will get you all the

1:07.5

information you need on that for your daily dose of Tudor history. So anyway this really caught my interest, and I'm going to definitely listen to the whole series.

1:15.4

So let me tell you about it.

1:16.5

Popular science author Stephen Johnson hosts this podcast where he tells the stories behind things like DNA,

1:21.7

the mapping of the human genome, the rise of the personal computer, artificial intelligence, and more. But American

1:29.1

innovations isn't your typical science podcast, because you'll not only hear about the science

1:34.3

behind some of the greatest innovations of the last century, but you'll also get all of the

1:38.7

drama. You'll get all of the moments behind the people, the places, and the time that leads

1:43.7

to those aha moments

1:45.3

and how each of those innovations affects us today.

1:48.0

You're about to hear a preview of the first episode in their series about artificial

1:52.3

intelligence.

1:53.3

The early development of AI was of course filled with trailblazers and innovative thinkers,

1:58.8

and their goal was to try to figure out a way to put human intelligence into a machine. They started with games, chess, an incredible challenge. You'll definitely want to listen to this one. And while you're searching for American innovations on your podcatcher of choice, here is the artificial intelligence preview.
