Soft Revolution Ali Momen and Torquil Campbell

Ali and Torq haven't spoken in months so we figured why not just let people hear unfiltered what a catch-up between these two would sound like.

Strikes everywhere. There's one job AI can replace and that's a politician. Speaking of "politicians", Trump is indicted...now what?

Thanks, as always, to EFFIN' BIRDS

The Jennifer C. Lena joins the pod to discuss her insights of the last five years, how AI is like spell check on steroids, how nationalization might be the key to solving our woes, and Ali wonders, "where was our hazard pay?"

Last week we received an email from our European correspondent Chilly Gonzales demanding to address Torquil's insane desire to kill all the robots. Well, here he is in all his glory.

In this episode, we sit down with David Maggs of the Metcalf Foundation to discuss his recent report, "Art and the World After This." David delves into the ways in which the pandemic has affected the art world, both in terms of the financial struggles of artists and institutions, as well as the shift towards digital and online mediums. He also touches on the importance of supporting artists and arts organizations in the recovery process, and the potential for a more equitable and inclusive art ecosystem in the future. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the state of art post-pandemic.

BTW, that summary was generated by AI and ChatGPT which Torquil is looking to destroy.

Michael Wheeler of the SpiderWebShow joins to discuss how technology and theatre intersect. But first: Swifties battle the Ticketmaster monopoly, the mid-terms were not as expected, and Elon is up to something at Twitter headquarters.
