Old Roots, New Tools
Take action
Old Roots, New Tools is a weekly podcast that teaches AI to folks who never thought they'd need it. Hosted by Wyatt McCoy, a gentle Oklahoma voice with a knack for plain talk, each episode takes one idea and walks through it slowly, with no jargon and no rushing.
You'll learn what AI really is, how to ask it questions so it actually helps, how to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the AI already on your phone, and how to protect yourself and your family from AI-powered scams like voice clones. Later in the season, we'll even peek under the hood at agents, computer code and GitHub, and you'll build your very first little project.
Every episode ends with one small, safe thing to try at home, plus a free printable cheat sheet. Because it's never too late to learn something new. Pull up a chair on the porch.

Signal Score
What is Signal Score?
Signal Score ranks podcasts by meaningful discovery behavior, not by who is already biggest. It blends scout approvals, saves, shares, repeat engagement, and editorial review into one weighted score.
Ranking notes
- High-intent actions count more than passive traffic.
- Trusted scouts carry more weight than brand-new accounts.
- Recency can matter for discovery, but it is not treated as a proxy for quality.
- Per-user caps and distinct-actor rules limit gaming.
Signal Score is directional, not absolute. New shows can move quickly, established shows can cool off, and no score is paid placement.
