“Constantly short-circuiting, comedian Liz Anderson’s new podcast features her embodying smart devices that betray their owners’ psyches ...Paired rises above the ranks of other AI-based micro-podcasts for its tone...Often clocking in under ten minutes, Paired is a unique slice-of-life podcast for a stupidly digital world.”
Paired - A Mini Comedy Podcast
Paired is a comedic narrative podcast written from the points of view of an Alexa/Siri-type digital assistant. Labeled as “guided meditations and musings from your digital assistant," each episode follows the adventures of an AI named ‘Pairy’ as she attempts to improve the messy lives of the humans around her. Paired explores the complications of modern life, focusing on grounded and diverse stories.
“This strange little nugget is a series of musings, meditations, and observations from a digital assistant in different places and situations, something like a slice-of-of life...weird, unusual, and kind of relaxing to listen to, as long as you don’t think too much about sentience.”
“It’s a great fit for people who want to get invested in a reliable, funny narrator and a concept that asks questions about tech dependency, but don’t necessarily want to add more stress to their lives.”
