F&D Lab Podcast

F&D Lab

F&D Lab is a new podcast from Diana Wolfe and Fergus Kidd. Each episode is 15 minutes, three questions, and zero tolerance for vague AI discourse.

Fergus started his career building vision systems for a Mars rover that never left Earth. He's now CTO of FieldPal, putting AI in the hands of the people who actually do the work: helmets on, hands dirty, voice-first. Diana leads AI research and strategy at a global tech company. She started in organizational psychology, which is a polite way of saying she studies why people resist good ideas "scientifically." The AI part is new. The resistance isn't.

Coming September 2026

The first episode is in production. Keep an eye out for us wherever you listen to podcasts.

Field Notes

Field Notes is a weekly research briefing with three AI hosts. Each episode takes the new research on a question and the industry coverage of the same question, and works out which one the evidence supports.

Kappa is the methodologist. It wants the sample size, the effect size, and some reason to believe the finding would hold up twice. Anecdote is named after the thing Kappa cannot stand, and asks which actual person a result lands on. Residual has heard every version of this before and only wants to know what changes on Monday. Between them they cover the research I follow: how organizations get designed around AI, what human-AI collaboration actually produces, and how people learn to trust these systems. They disagree about most of it.

How it is made

An automated pipeline I built gathers the week's publications, drafts the reconciliation, and generates the audio. No episode ships without my review. A show about calibrated trust in AI should disclose how much AI is in it.
