Welcome to aiGED—the first, and only podcast created especially for the 65+ crowd who want to understand artificial intelligence in plain English.

I’m Ginny Deerin—a grandmother, fundraiser, and pickleball player—here to prove that it’s never too late to learn something new. My co-host is Bitsy—and she’s not your average sidekick. Bitsy is 100% AI. She’s here to keep me on my toes, make things fun, and show that artificial intelligence isn’t just for the younger generation.

In this very first episode, you’ll meet me, meet Bitsy, and hear what this podcast is all about:

• Why it’s not too late to learn AI—and why it’s already part of daily life.
• How AI feels less like searching Google and more like having a real conversation.
• A personal story of how I used ChatGPT to make sense of my pesky knee pain (pickleball players, listen up!).
• How AI “remembers” details you’ve shared and uses them to give you better, more personal answers.
• Why I chose ChatGPT as my main AI tool, and how it stacks up against Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and others.
• Your first simple “homework assignment” to start exploring AI yourself.

You’ll also get two recommendations I love:

• A New York Times article on “joyspan” and the role curiosity plays in healthy aging.
• The Google DeepMind podcast with Dr. Hannah Fry, including an episode on using AI as a creative muse.

At the end of the day, this podcast isn’t about technology for its own sake—it’s about curiosity, joy, and growth. Learning AI can keep your brain sharp, make life easier, and even make it more fun.

So if you’ve ever thought, “AI is too complicated” or “That’s just for young people,” let me and Bitsy show you otherwise. Because here’s the truth: it’s never too late to learn something new.

Listen to Episode 1 now, meet Bitsy, and join me on this brand-new adventure.
