A podcast by two people who broke up but still want to heal the world... So they are still talking.
About politics, media, social networks, power, breakups, immigration, parents, and the things you don’t stop thinking about after relationships end.
Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes very serious.
This is a podcast about conversations that don’t really end - and why that might be a good thing.

AI Chaos of Content Creation in 2026 | We Are Still Talking #2
In this episode, we unintentionally talk mostly about AI.
Our podcast got temporarily banned because of music we had permission to use. That turns into a bigger conversation about broken copyright systems, AI-generated content, and why creators are always forced to prove they’re “allowed” to exist.
We also talk about algorithms, target audiences, teaching in the age of AI, and why most people using AI are doing it badly.
Just two people from very different professional worlds trying to understand what’s actually happening.

We talk about our past relationship, unresolved tension, personal boundaries, and what happens when two people with shared history decide to be radically honest on record.
This episode sets the tone for the podcast: open conversations, uncomfortable topics, and no clear answers.
