The AI podcast for beginners who want practical confidence.
Season 1 is the original Zero to AI starting point and an AI podcast for beginners who want to move from curiosity to practical use. Across 12 episodes and bonus reflections, it follows the move from not knowing where to start with AI to building prompts, workflows, dashboards, assistants and a practical 90-day plan.
A simple path from curiosity to practical use.
Use Season 1 when you want the full foundation story before moving into the current season, short practical walkthroughs or the AI Learning Labs.

An AI podcast for beginners that still respects your experience.
Season 1 is a podcast archive, not a course platform. You can listen in order, jump to the episode that matches your current question or use it as background before starting Season 2.
The focus is practical understanding. Listen to the episode, read the supporting article where useful and take one small idea into your own work.
You can test many of the ideas in tools such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, then use Zero to AI to decide what is actually useful.
