They taught you.
Now they answer to you.

Podcast with Professors pulls back the curtain on what academics actually think — about AI, about education, about the gap between what's taught and what's real. No lecture format. Just honest conversation.

The Idea
Behind the curtain of the classroom.

Professors spend careers developing opinions, ideas, and frameworks they rarely get to share outside of lecture halls and academic journals. This podcast gives them the hot seat — real questions, real answers, no tenure-speak. What do they actually think about AI taking over their field? About students using ChatGPT? About what education gets wrong? We're finding out.

The Format
Real talk. No slides required.

Each episode puts a professor in a format they didn't train for. The rules are simple — answer honestly, think out loud, and leave the academic armor at the door.

Be a Guest
Know a professor who should be in the hot seat?

We're looking for academics who have something real to say — whether that's about AI, their field, education, or just the things they've been thinking about for years and never had the right platform to share. No PR polish needed. Just bring the real.

Any field — tech, humanities, science, business, arts
Willing to answer questions they haven't prepared for
Has opinions beyond their official position
Remote or in-person — we make it work
