This episode is entirely AI-generated, created by ingesting issues of our print journal, The Asylum, into Google’s Notebook LM engine. Our virtual hosts provide an overview of the numismatic literature collecting field and discuss the impact of technology on the hobby. From the days of Sylvester Crosby and the Chapman brothers, the podcast conveys the appeal of numismatic literature and encourages listeners to find and collect their own special items.
