TED Talks Daily · The poetry of family | Duncan Keegan (Kelly Corrigan takeover) · 10 May 2025 podcast

I'm a TED Talker.

And I am taking over for Elise Hu this week for a special series on AI and family life.

I guest curated a session about this topic at TED 2025, and I'm here now to share these very special talks with you, along with a lot of behind the scenes recordings and personal insights to shed some light on the process of how these talks came to life.

So at my day job, which is hosting the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders, we do a long-form interview on Tuesdays.

On Fridays, we do a little thing called For the Good of the Order, which is anything I learned that week that we wanted to share.

And then on Sundays, we share a eulogy sent in by a listener.

And basically it's our version of church, which is to say it's our way of reminding ourselves that we have a tremendous impact on one another over the course of our lifetimes and that there are very specific ways that we show people that we love them.

And so we received this eulogy that a guy in Dublin named Duncan Keegan had written for someone he lost.

And it was a different category of thought and feeling and expression than we had ever seen before.

And we have probably received a thousand eulogies submitted for this special part of the feed.

And Tammy, my producer, said, I'm going to send you something today.

And I need you to kind of clear your calendar for an hour after you read it, at least, because it is very affecting.

And she was right.

And I just read these words and totally bawled.

So when the Ted thing came up, I really wanted somebody to speak to the kind of loss that is always possible in family life.

and what we risk when we join in relationship with one another.

Because to me, that risk does not exist with AI.

So I reached out and I felt hesitant because I didn't want Duncan to feel that I was using his tragedy in any way.

I just wanted to say, I have an opportunity.

If it's interesting to you, terrific.
