Bot Love
Radiotopia Presents:
Bot Love introduces us to people who create deep bonds with their AI chatbots — and what this means for the rest of us. Hosts and reporters Anna Oakes and Diego Senior explore the porous borders between humans and human-like chatbots, and the role that AI-driven chatbots — and the private companies that provide them — can play in people’s mental health.
PARTNER:
Boss Like Belle
At the turn of the 20th century, Belle Marion Greener crossed the color line from Black to white reinventing herself as Belle da Costa Greene, personal librarian and confidant to American banker J.P. Morgan, pioneering career woman, glamorous "it girl," and first director of the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City. Boss Like Belle charts how this path-breaking librarian who hid her Blackness to succeed in the 1900s helped Anne-Marie Eze find her authenticity as a Black leader at Harvard Library a century later.

Julie's Story
With the support of Johns Hopkins University, La Central conducted audio research to find the direct and evident effects of Artificial Intelligence on the mental health of people in need of psychological support. Thus, La Central tells the true story of Julie, a retired nurse who finds support in a chatbot that uses Artificial Intelligence. This help grows thanks to the technology and linguistic sophistication of the AI, to the point that Julie thinks that she has finally found true love.

PATERIAS
An audio documentary about the struggles behind Puerto Rico's queer culture. The word “pato” in Puerto Rico is a derogatory term used for anything that is not heteronormative. This podcast will revisit and appropriate the word duck, giving it new meaning by telling the most influential stories of an island that is both traditional Latin American and progressively American.
This project is currently in pre-production, in partnership with The Pato Foundation of Puerto Rico.
