Episode Synopsis

Mechanical servants. More perfect versions of ourselves. The reapers of our eventual demise? Dave and Neil welcome special guest Abigail, 11-year-old robot aficionado, to discuss the evolution of robots in literature, TV, and film and to grapple with the complexities of robot ethics. The meerkats mull the mysteries of CAPTCHA, objectionable uses of the holodeck, and the potential of garlic-peeling robots. Join us as we rank our favorite robots and honor the other androids, automatons, and AIs that have set our imaginations in motion.
