The hosts discuss a stark reality: major national surveys show that AI has entered classrooms faster than schools can respond, leaving faculty overwhelmed, unprepared, and watching core skills like writing and critical thinking erode in real time. Together, the data and faculty voices paint a picture not of a debate, but of a full‑blown educational crisis unfolding at unprecedented speed. The show wraps with an interview featuring Caroline Jane Knight — author of Jane & Me: My Austen Heritage and the last Austen descendant to grow up in the family’s ancestral home. Knight offers a rare, intimate perspective on heritage, identity, and the legacy of Jane Austen, blending memoir and lived history to bring warmth, insight, and a uniquely personal window into one of literature’s most enduring voices.
