“AI is taking over everything and this podcast has been the best way to know what's happening with it, where it's going, and what we should be concerned about.”

- Ashley Hamer, Taboo Science

Hard Fork is a razor-sharp exploration of the tech world’s most pressing issues, where hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton dissect the intersection of technology, society, and the digital future with insight and wit. The podcast pulls no punches as it navigates the messy realities of Silicon Valley—from the rise and fall of tech giants to the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence, social media, and surveillance capitalism. What makes Hard Fork stand out is its blend of dry humor and thoughtful analysis; Roose and Newton don’t just report on the headlines, they unravel them, exposing the flaws, contradictions, and unforeseen consequences behind the latest developments.

The show is part news, part culture critique, and part thoughtful conversation, often peeling back the glossy veneer of the tech industry to reveal the deeper questions about power, influence, and human impact. Hard Fork is essential listening for anyone trying to understand how technology shapes—and sometimes disrupts—our world.
