🎧 INDIE AF – AI in Audio Fiction: Friend, Foe or Fascinating Frontier?

S3E10 – Hosted by the ever-enthusiastic SARAH GOLDING

This episode dives deep into the ever-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence and how it's shaping (or shaking?) the world of audio drama creation.

Joining Sarah for this electric roundtable chat are a panel of brilliant audio fiction minds:
🎙️ LANCE DANN
🎙️ NICHOLAS GLEAN
🎙️ EDDIE LOUISE
🎙️ FLLOYD KENNEDY

• Can AI be your creative buddy?

• Is it a tool or a threat?

• Should we fear the clone of our own voice?

• What are the ethical lines when using AI?

• Can AI do comedy? (…Can it really?)

• Is using AI resourceful or cheap?

• Can it assist neurodiverse creators?

• Will AI take our jobs or just help with the boring bits?

• Is it a passing fad, or a fundamental shift?

  
  

Spoiler alert: Things get philosophical, practical, and a little fired up. 💥

I’d LOVE to hear your take—whether you’re waving the AI flag, firmly in the nope camp, or just watching from the sidelines munching popcorn.

Welcome to this fun filled interview with ALLISON COSSITT, Recorded just before release of her first show ever produced - PARTIAL VEIL - Links below!

We chat many things setup and sort, and how she went about developing and producing her brilliant audio story from start to pre-release. This is one of two eps - next one coming in a few week's time yayer.

I am ELATED to welcome 2 new Patreon supporters - SALLY SWIFT and KARI SUTCLIFFE - HERYUGE and hearty thanks  to you and alllll of my amazing supporters who have helped fuel QUIRKY works over the years.
