Panelists John Hodgman, Wyatt Cenac, and Maeve Higgins get to the bottom of what Dr. Shah does all day and why her work matters. Will robots take over the world and kill us all? Will they write poetry and hitchhike across Canada? What should you name your robot butler? Listen to this episode to find out! This episode was a co-presentation of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival and the Cambridge Science Festival and was made possible with generous funding from MIT's de Florez Fund for Humor.
