Today we’re announcing that season two of Talking Machines is moving into development, but we need your help! 

In order to raise funds, we’ve opened the show up to sponsorship and started a Kickstarter and we’ve got some great nerd cred prizes to thank you with. But more than just getting you a totally sweet mug, your donation will fuel journalism about the reality of scientific research, something that is unfortunately hard to find. Lend a hand if you can!

Talking Machines is your window into the world of machine learning.
