Claire, Laurie and Anna try to answer the question haunting modern civilization: Why does Facebook know what I want before I even think it? We dive into algorithms, targeted ads, and the unsettling reality that Anna’s new car is absolutely listening — and probably taking notes. Then Claire flips the script and interviews co‑host Laurie to celebrate a major podcast milestone — one rooted in storytelling, vulnerability, and giving people a voice to heal. Laurie shares how this moment came to be, why it matters, and how empowering others has become one of the most meaningful parts of her work. If you’ve ever yelled “I DIDN’T EVEN GOOGLE THAT!” at your phone or love a good mix of tech paranoia and heartfelt storytelling, this episode is your new comfort chaos. (Or not!)

This episode was recorded in mid‑December—right as Laurie and Anna’s corners of the Pacific Northwest were splashing across the news with historic floods -- right before another wave of flooding reached California, the state where Claire lives. Amidst the discussions about rising waters, the Listen & Learn (or Not) hosts dive into the fascinating 6-7 phenomenon that's got young folks exploding in classrooms and public places and older generations scratching their heads. The hosts also touch on the risky choices some drivers are making by ignoring roadblocks, only to find themselves regretting it. So grab your raincoat and get ready for a deluge of laughs -- or not.
