Episode 2: The Overachievers’ Recession

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 40:09

Job openings are down, layoffs are hitting people who did everything they were told was right, and AI is getting the blame. But what does the data actually say?

Economist Virginia Sondergeld (Indeed Hiring Lab) explains what is really driving Germany’s cooling job market, and why most economists say there isn’t yet enough evidence to blame AI. Sam Wright (Huntr), who has held more than a thousand consultations with job seekers, demystifies applicant tracking systems, looks at why experienced tech workers and new graduates are struggling, and examines the industry that has grown up around unemployment. And Professor Kate Devlin (King’s College London) asks what we lose when AI strips the friction out of hiring.

Danielle Gottlieb and James McBreen weigh the numbers against what it actually feels like to be part of the data, and land on one thing that hasn’t changed: it still helps to know someone.

Shift Storm is a documentary podcast about AI and the future of work.

Written and produced by Danielle Gottlieb and James McBreen. Editing and music by James McBreen.

Episode 1: The Cybernation Revolution

Season 1 · Episode 1

Saturday, October 17, 2026 • Duration 31:36

In 1964, a group of scientists and economists warned President Johnson that automation was breaking the link between work and income. Sixty years later, AI has brought that fear back. Is this time actually different?

Professor Kate Devlin (King’s College London) traces AI from the 1956 Dartmouth workshop to ChatGPT and explains what large language models really do. Neuroscientist Ingo Marquardt asks whether these systems are truly intelligent. Steve Zipperstein (UCLA, formerly BlackBerry and Verizon Wireless) explains why regulation never keeps pace with technology. And Professor Anke Hassel (Hertie School) looks at what past waves of automation did to jobs, and to the quality of the work that replaced them.

Along the way, hosts Danielle Gottlieb and James McBreen share their own stories: a new graduate facing a vanishing entry-level job market, and a mid-career professional laid off and wondering if he’d been automated.

Shift Storm is podcast about AI and the future of work.

Written and produced by Danielle Gottlieb and James McBreen. Editing and music by James McBreen. Additional voice acting by Jonah Feldman.
