About this listen

 Where silicon meets soul, and algorithms make sense of the everyday. This isn’t just another tech podcast. Decoded demystifies artificial intelligence with wit, warmth, and a dash of the delightfully unexpected. From invisible assistants that shape your shopping habits, to machine minds behind medicine, marketing, and music—we explore how AI is quietly reshaping our lives, one line of code at a time. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just real stories, smart people, and a gentle unravelling of the future we’re already living.Joel Leslie
