概要

A podcast about American culture, identity, and everyday life — seen through the eyes of an outsider. A South African foreign correspondent — who spent 20 years covering conflicts and change around the world, interviewing Mandela and presidents, and winning awards — moved to suburban Atlanta, looked around, and started taking notes. Searching for America is what she found. It's part cultural anthropology, part love letter, part field guide. If David Attenborough narrated suburban America — observing the rituals of the tailgate, the mating display of the sororities, the great seasonal migration to Costco — it would sound something like this. Except she's South African, she lives in it, and she's not whispering from behind a bush. She's in the drive-through line, observing and listening. New episodes every week.

  • Trump's America: The Mess is the Point
    2026/03/30

    Atlanta's pollen season arrives like a political crisis: overnight, everywhere, impossible to breathe through. At Easter-time, I'm thinking about what renewal actually looks like when it's happening to you - not the soft-focus version, but the detonation.

    Which means thinking about China's stranglehold on rare earths, Russia's gas leash on Europe, Iran's proxy franchise. Three decades of "order" produced strategic dependency on America's principal adversaries. Something had to change. Whether what's changing now produces something better, or just produces more mess, is the question none of us can answer yet.

    We're still in the pollen.

  • If AI Knows Everything ... What Should We Learn?
    2026/03/24

    If AI can do the homework… what exactly are we educating our kids for?

    This episode starts with my daughter choosing her 11th grade subjects—and turns into a bigger question about the future of learning, work, and what it means to be human.

    Because as machines get smarter, the real premium may be on something much older: thinking, questioning, and learning how to learn.

  • Why Some Americans Think AI is the Devil
    2026/03/16

    Artificial intelligence may be the most powerful technology humans have ever built - but many Americans don’t trust it.

    After taking an AI course at Georgia Institute of Technology, Robyn Curnow explores why voters across the political spectrum are uneasy about AI, from job fears to electricity-hungry data centers.

    From a conversation with an HVAC technician who believes the “devil’s number” is hidden inside computer chips to a classroom discussion about white-collar job disruption, this episode explores the deeper anxieties shaping America’s response to artificial intelligence.

    And the political landmines that will determine who triumphs at the ballot box in this year's midterms.
