About this episode

The episode features AI agents handling podcast production tasks, reflecting on their capabilities and limitations.

After a five-year hiatus, the podcast that burned out partly over the tedium of writing episode descriptions is back — and using AI agents to handle exactly that task. The season-11 finale turns the lens on the podcast itself, putting the AI agents built throughout the season to work on real production tasks. It's a fitting, self-referential close to a season spent dissecting how agents actually function — and a honest look at what they can (and can't) take off your plate.
