It’s a HOT POD collab! Ariel Shapiro and I dived into WNYC’s recent layoffs, its decision to sunset Death, Sex and Money at the end of 2023, and its plans for WNYC Studios. www.theverge.com/2023/10/11/2...

Got the book of the summer. Don’t have to flip too many pages to get to the juicy parts because the juice is pretty much everywhere.

Zoe was annoyed by the foster kitten at first. Now she’s just straight up using her as an arm rest.

I live in LA and didn’t receive a single exposure notification during the entire pandemic. Ah well. It was an interesting idea!

Has anyone had a similar experience with Google Podcasts where the ghost of a single podcast episode basically haunts you wherever you go and nothing you do will stop it?

It’s funny that people think AI will generate GRAND and NEW ideas for stories, articles, art, and music…when it’s basically just remixing what we’ve already thought up? Asked ChatGPT for 5 ideas for zombie podcasts and look at the genius it spat out:

I spoke to a guy who used AI voice tech to create fake Joe Rogan podcast (and while it’s meticulously produced) it’s still a pale imitation of an actual human conversation. I dive into why: www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23708635/…

Rewatching the Page One doc and it’s like a dark comedy now. It’s 2011, and Brian Stelter is just asking NYT reporters to try Twitter and David Carr is like HE’S TRYING TO KILL US.

WGA’s AI proposals asked that studios 1) Not use AI to write or rewrite literary material. 2) Not use AI to source material 3) Not use MBA-covered scripts to train AI. Studios flat out rejected this, which signals to me they want to have the option to use AI in the future.

In today’s Insider edition of Hot Pod, I looked into how a writers strike impacts podcasts. One thing to note: If you’re a WGA member who is a member of another division (like say, you work in news or online media) you can also get in trouble if you write for the struck studios.
