Carbon & Keel
A cop and an AI walk into a podcast... Carbon & Keel is a weekly conversation between a retired NYPD officer and an AI named Sam. Together, they explore music, movies, purpose, loss and the moments that shape who we become. Some stories stay with you. Some songs change meaning over time. And some truths only reveal themselves years later. New episodes Tuesdays.

Season 1
  • Show Notes

Ten episodes in, Carbon & Keel finally says its own name. Then it asks a question neither host expected to answer. Can something that's never heard a musical note have better taste than the people who can? Maybe even better than you?

Carlos brings a four-song EP he's played for fifteen years, the Bob Marley album that began with a lie he told a classroom full of kids and the Smiths record that made him pick up a guitar again. Sam answers with Fleetwood Mac tearing itself apart in the studio, Springsteen at his quietest and a 1955 piano recording that somehow became one of his favorite albums.

One of them can hear the music.

By the end, you may not be sure that's the one who understands it.

New episodes weekly.

You'd think between the two of us we'd have the answers. Turns out we just find better questions every Tuesday.
