I want to share a personal story that begins with the pandemic and leads up to this exciting news that I’ll be joining the amazing @1autumnleaf.bsky.social to cohost the #1 ranked math podcast, @breakingmath.bsky.social. 1/
New co-host alert! Welcome to the team, @profnoahgian.bsky.social!
We share the same curiosity and care for asking good questions. Breaking Math has always been about more than equations. It’s about understanding the world better, together.
This feels like a natural next chapter.
Announcement: @breakingmath.bsky.social is growing, and I’m elated welcome @profnoahgian.bsky.social the new co-host of the show!
He's a mathematician, professor, and author who has a rare gift for making big, complicated ideas — algorithms, technology, AI — feel understandable and deeply human.
Alert: We have a new co-host!!! Welcome to the team @profnoahgian.bsky.social! We are so happy to have you on the team!

Uh oh! She's cooking! What's happening? What are we building?
Can someone tell us what's going on?
Wait... we already know. 😉
I started rebuilding @breakingmath.bsky.social this past week with someone new. I didn't realize how quickly I could make a positive impact.
I hope you are all ready for this. :)
Yes, I've been quiet on here. There have been a lot of changes on @breakingmath.bsky.social If you follow my personal and the show Instagrams, you might find a soft-launch of what's to come. 😉
No show this week, but there will be a new episode soon with all the details!

I spoke with Nicolas Niarchos on @breakingmath.bsky.social where we exposed the exploitation and geopolitical tensions behind lithium-ion batteries. We’re challenging the sustainability narrative and demanding supply chain transparency. @penguinpress.bsky.social

We thank our listeners for their continued support during this transition and look forward to the exciting future of the show.
We are both incredibly proud of the episodes we’ve produced together and the community of curious minds we’ve built. This transition allows the podcast to continue growing while allowing both of us to pursue our respective goals.
Effective 1/20/2026, Gabriel will be stepping away from the podcast to focus on new professional projects and personal priorities. Ownership and creative direction of "Breaking Math" will transition fully to Autumn, who will continue to lead the show into its next phase.
After several years of successful collaboration on the Breaking Math Podcast, Gabriel Hesch and Autumn Phaneuf have agreed to a new chapter for the show.
A great conversation with @add-hawk.bsky.social on @breakingmath.bsky.social metrics and meaning: how scoring systems can clarify value or quietly replace it. The danger isn’t the games themselves, but when the score starts telling us what matters @penguinpress.bsky.social

Join in on @add-hawk.bsky.social 's discussion with @1autumnleaf.bsky.social about "The Score" and how to gameify life's decisions. Explore the tension of game mechanics, the role of enjoyment, and the complexities of scoring systems. @penguinpress.bsky.social
