Where the Internet Lives, a Google podcast and mini-doc series

Listen on Apple Podcasts

Where the Internet Lives is a Webby award-winning podcast produced by Google and Latitude Media. We focus loosely  on the infrastructure behind the internet. This means talking a lot about water and energy and design efficiencies. We also highlight what that infrastructure enables in the world, such as modeling and data-focused science and innovations.

​  I joined, as a contractor to Google, as a deputy editor during season 3. I took over as editorial lead on the Google side for seasons 4 and 5. We also did a live version of the podcast at Climate Week NCY in 2025.

Season 4 revolved around a theme of resilience. Episodes featured how Google's infrastructure enables wildfire prediction and mitigation; helps makes the grid more resilient and available for clean energy; provides information for mitigating extreme heat in cities; helps bridge the gap between food waste and hunger; and increases circularity and recycling of plastics. 

​Season 5 focused on AI and how it is changing everything from drug discovery to supply chain logistics. We examine some of the fears and dangers of AI as well as possibilities for solutions to great challenges.

We work with Pique Action, a group of talented filmmakers focused on climate solutions, to create short companion documentaries to accompany the podcast episodes.
