EECS AASE Podcast

Said "eek's ay-two-ess-ee". Two short companion episodes per lecture: a Brief before class that teases where we're headed, and a Deep Dive after class that walks the full arc. Episodes are AI-generated audio, produced from course materials and de-identified lecture transcripts; no student is ever named or identifiable. A text transcript accompanies every episode.
