Vox is set to kick off Good Robot, a narrative audio series hosted by acclaimed podcast host Julia Longoria, digging into the hype and the potential horrors of artificial intelligence. In four episodes, Longoria traces the rise of the technology and the ideologies of the people making it to help listeners understand its implications for their own lives — and for humanity.

The series will air over two weeks on Unexplainable, Vox’s science and mysteries podcast, starting March 12. Longoria, a Murrow Award winner who has created some of the most critically acclaimed audio documentaries of the last decade, will become a permanent co-host of the popular show, joining the roster of longtime Unexplainable listener favorites Noam Hassenfeld, Byrd Pinkerton, and Meradith Hoddinott.
