Each episode is a long-form deep dive designed to take you through a topic from beginning to end—exploring the foundations, the mechanics, the tensions, and the bigger picture in a clear, structured way. The show begins with our own curiosity. We choose the subjects, shape the questions, and follow the threads we want to understand more deeply. From there, we use AI as part of the creative process to help organize ideas, build the narrative, and turn that exploration into a coherent long-form story. The final audio is then created using Google LM to make each deep dive practical to listen to while walking, driving, or moving through everyday life. This show is not built to hand you an answer or tell you what to think. It exists to help frame complex topics more clearly, deepen understanding, and leave you with a broader perspective than you had when you started. The goal is to satisfy curiosity, explore ideas honestly, and help listeners understand the full picture in a world that usually stops at the headline.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T04:19:47.286814+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213"},"episode":{"title":"The Business of Autism","slug":"the-business-of-autism","published_at":"2026-04-13T11:35:29+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213/the-business-of-autism","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-never-stop-learning-podcast-7776213","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/the-never-stop-learning-podcast/2677546","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/378947/2677546/the-never-stop-learning-podcast/2026_03_31_12_50_20_89bf070d-01c0-4c94-98d8-05b1120a6d3f.mp3","summary":"The Business of Autism ...Autism is real. The needs of autistic children and their families are real. This investigation begins there, with seriousness and respect. But it asks a harder question: what happened after autism became more than a diagnosis and began functioning as a gateway to therapy, insurance reimbursement, Medicaid spending, and eventually private equity investment? The Business of Autism examines how a legitimate human need became the basis of a large and increasingly lucrative industry. From diagnostic growth and insurance mandates to ABA, high-hour treatment models, weak oversight, and clinic roll-ups, this episode traces how care, money, and incentives became tightly intertwined—and asks whether the system built around autism still serves the child first.","meta_description":"The Business of Autism ...Autism is real.
