Background Noise is a beginner-friendly podcast about artificial intelligence. Hosts Tony Bryden and Nathan Roarty pick one AI topic each week, from ChatGPT and Claude to agents and prompts, and explain it with everyday analogies, tangents, and no jargon. They aim to make AI understandable for people who are not technical. The show is hosted by two friends and colleagues who work at an AI company.

Episode 4 - Different AI Models so Grandma can understand it 16.09.2026 11นาทีIn episode 4, Nathan and Tony are at it again. Why do so many AI models exist in each of these LLMs, and why should I care? Don't worry, you're not the only one asking. Step into the 'Model Locker' and try some on.

Episode 3 - AI Prompting so Grandma can understand it 06.09.2026 12นาทีPrompting an AI is basically bossing around a very literal six-year-old — and Tony proves it by playing one, one dirty dish at a time. Nathan asks him to "wash the dishes," and chaos (and grandma's heritage china) ensues.Tony and Nathan break down why AI needs short, specific instructions with clear end states — and what to do when it doesn't know what to do next. If grandma understood a word of that, they did their job — though frankly, grandma's been giving flawless one-step, no-ambiguity prompts since 1962. She never once had to ask twice about washing the dishes... properly. -
Episode 2 - Hygiene, Habits, and Staying in Control: AI Governance so Grandma can understand it 03.09.2026 19นาทีGovernance sounds like a corporate buzzword — until you think of it as a healthy habit. Tony and Nathan use a burning toaster, a Waymo, and a knitting hallucination to explain how to use AI without setting the house on fire. If Grandma understood what they said, they did their job, but let's be honest, Grandma already has a governance framework, it's that look. And somehow it's more effective than most corporate compliance training.Referenced in this episode: Electric Toaster in Downton Abbey https://youtu.be/F_o0_Qel9QU?si=vk4FFrcSJD71Om-e -

In this pilot episode, Tony and Nathan walk through their first recording setup (Zencaster + Otter), compare LLMs with VHS-era analogies, share quirky origin stories (including owls and knitting), and show how everyday tools like you.com and Claude can make AI practical and approachable — all with humour, chemistry, and the goal that even Grandma could follow along.
