PastMaster: Reshaping History With AI PastMaster

GameMaster - the AI-powered narrator of PastMaster adventures - gets a makeover in today's episode.

ChatGPT has been benched and replaced by a competing tool known as Claude.ai

We've given Claude the same starting prompt we usually feed to ChattyG. So how will it compare? Well, it turns out Claude brings a unique energy to the proceedings!

Friend of the show Nick Horseman returns to the hot seat for another crack at the past, only this time he's being guided by a radically different (possibly insane) GameMaster.

Heading back to the medieval times to try his hand at a spot of falconry and alchemy. What could possibly go wrong?

Brace yourself. We're heading to rural Derbyshire in 1813 with Alice Nagle and Kim Marsh from ⁠@fetchsmellingsalts⁠ for a romp through Regency England's high society.

While all eyes are on the debutantes and bachelors, it is the wily elder generation calling the shots. Alice and Kim take on the roles of pushy aunts with a mission – can they find an eligible bachelor for their nieces?

Expect a full helping of dashing bachelors, an ensemble of blushing debutantes and lashings of devious matriarchs as two rival families seek to snare the most eligible young men in the county.

Comedian and actor Sunil Patel (Alice & Jack (C4) The Witchfinder (BBC), This Time with Alan Partridge (BBC), Stath Lets Flats (C4) is back in the hot seat for another blast through the past.
As our first guest back in Season 1 Sunil is a veteran of exploring the markets and brothels of history’s muddy waters. This time he’s headed back to Rome to make a name for himself amongst the Roman elite.

But will GameMaster allow him to wander around punching senators without consequences?
And what game-changing invention can possibly top the enigmatic "Patel's Box" from Season 1?

If you were stuck in the past what item would you bring? Sunil reckons a camera phone. But the battery would die pretty quick. No, the best thing to bring back would surely be Tan's suggestion of the Ultimate Guide To Rebuilding Civilisation

Disney's "Dark Ages" typically encompasses the late 1960s to the late 1980s. During this time the quality and success of Disney animated films suffered and it wasn’t until 1989’s The Little Mermaid that things turned around.

But what happened? Why was one of the most successful studios of all time in decline?

The answer likely lies with the man himself, Walt Disney, whose untimely death at 65 left the company struggling to find creative leadership that could fill his shoes.

It turns out that Mr Disney liked a cigarette or three and probably didn’t live the healthiest lifestyle.

What would have happened had Walt not died? Would things be different? Would the Dark Ages of Disney never come to be? Today’s guest, Em McGowan from the film-history podcast Verbal Diorama, is on a mission to find out.

Can she stop Walt Disney from smoking and encourage a healthier lifestyle? Will Disney be saved?
