Technology reporter Joanna Stern spent the last year using artificial intelligence for nearly everything: healthcare questions, travel, productivity, parenting challenges, customer service, and even an AI-generated romantic companion. In this episode, Joanna joins Mosheh on the podcast to discuss her new book, ⁠I Am Not a Robot⁠, which offers a firsthand look at how AI is reshaping daily life — whether we want it to or not.

The conversation covers both the practical benefits and growing concerns around AI’s rapid integration into society: self-driving cars, AI-assisted medicine, and the ways AI is helping entrepreneurs and creators work faster than ever before. But they also discuss some of the biggest questions still ahead: job losses as companies automate entry-level work, parenting in an age of AI-powered toys and companions, and the surprising emotional pull of chatbot relationships amid a growing loneliness crisis.

Stern — formerly a senior personal technology columnist at The Wall Street Journal and now the ⁠founder of The New Things tech news website⁠— also breaks down the global race toward artificial general intelligence, the growing backlash against AI companies and CEOs, and why she believes the biggest challenge ahead may be preserving human connection in a world increasingly designed to remove friction from everyday life.

You can learn more about Joanna’s work at ⁠The New Things⁠ and find ⁠I Am Not a Robot⁠ wherever you get your books.

A deadly hantavirus on a cruise ship off the coast of Africa is now raising questions around the world — and now, the first U.S. case of the Andes strain of hantavirus has been confirmed. To help make sense of what we know — and what we don’t — Mosheh speaks with Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, and author of the Inside Medicine Substack.
They discuss how concerned Americans should actually be, how this is different from COVID, and what health officials are watching as passengers from the outbreak-linked cruise ship return home across multiple countries. Dr. Faust explains what makes the Andes strain unique, how it spreads, and why experts say the virus’s “slow biology” may actually be reassuring.
The conversation also covers the confirmed U.S. case, symptomatic passengers under monitoring, lessons from a deadly 2018 Andes strain outbreak in Argentina, public trust in health authorities after the pandemic, and whether there’s any evidence the virus has become more transmissible.
Plus: why hantavirus remains rare despite rats being common in major cities — and what would have to happen for this outbreak to become something far more serious.

Happy Mother's Day! For this special episode, Mosheh sits down with Melissa Garson -- author, life coach, and his mother-in-law- -- for a conversation about happiness, parenting, relationships, and emotional resilience. Melissa opens up about her own childhood, the values she tried to instill in her daughter Alex (Mosheh’s wife), and what it's been like to see Alex become a mother herself.
They also discuss her book, Recipe for Real Happiness, in which Melissa draws on her work in positive psychology to share practical tools for building happiness and emotional resilience--including "four simple ingredients" of love, gratitude, learning, and mindfulness. 
The conversation touches on gratitude journals, communication in marriage and family life, social media’s effect on self-worth, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who leave you feeling better, not worse.
They also discuss how meditation can help us “bounce back faster” from life’s challenges — and close the episode with a live, guided meditation you can participate in, in real time.
