Learning Rewired Podcast

Field notes for people rebuilding learning.

Practical conversations about learning systems, feedback, practice, AI, performance support, and what happens when learning design starts behaving more like product design.

The show is still in pre-launch, but the first conversations are already hiding across Perspectives, Field Guides, Design Lab, and Studio.

What the show is about

Less course worship. More useful learning systems.

The show will explore the practical problems learning designers, enablement teams, managers, and product-minded builders run into when training alone is not enough.

01

Start with the real work.

What decisions, behaviors, supports, and constraints actually shape performance?

02

Challenge course-shaped defaults.

Sometimes the answer is a course. Often it is practice, support, tools, coaching, or a system.

03

Turn ideas into design moves.

The best episodes should connect back to Field Guides, Design Lab tools, or Studio workflows.

Why training is not the product

A practical argument for designing learning like a system instead of treating the course as the finish line.

Once the show is approved and published, this page will link to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and the RSS feed. For now, this is the home base before the feed is ready.

Recurring themes

The show follows the same system as the Lab.

Each episode should point somewhere useful: an argument, a field guide, a tool, a workflow, or a better way to think about the work.

Learning Systems

What has to exist around a course for people to remember, apply, and improve?

Feedback + Coaching

How do we move feedback beyond correct and incorrect into something learners can use?

Practice + Judgment

What does realistic practice look like when the real work is messy and full of tradeoffs?

AI + Design Judgment

How can AI support learning design without turning everything into generic content paste?

Product-Minded Learning

What changes when learning teams think about usability, iteration, adoption, and outcomes?

Performance Support

Where does learning stop, and where do tools, managers, workflows, and support systems begin?

Have a topic?

Ask Andy what should become an episode.

Drop in a messy learning problem, spicy LinkedIn take, stakeholder request, or half-formed idea. Ask Andy can help turn it into a Perspective, Field Guide, podcast angle, or Buffer post.
