Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Creativity (The writing episode)

Dylan interviews Robert and Oscar about their respective creative writing projects – one using A.I. and the other not. This turns into a deep dive on the root impulses of human creativity, and whether A.I. is a threat to art or merely another tool to boost productivity. Note to listeners: Unfortunately Oscar's audio was glitched out and we needed to use phone camera audio to supplement his speech. Thank god we record in video format, but there is a noticeably shift in quality when he speaks. We apologize and will do better next time!

On Creative Writing and Addiction

In celebration of recording a new episode this week (our first of 2025!), we're uploading the forgotten last episode of 2024, which never made it to platforms outside of Youtube. Follow us there on the ODcast Arts channel (@odarting) for more content outside of podcasting. As for this, our 30th episode, it's an introspective one. Buckle up for a ride into the depths of our souls.

An Honest Tribute to Steve Albini

We were deeply saddened to hear the news of Steve Albini's passing earlier this month, both as fans of the albums he recorded and of his legendary status in our native Chicago's music scene. In digging into his life and work for this tribute, we uncovered some unsavory aspects of his biography that we felt compelled to discuss in an open and honest way. R.I.P. Steve Albini

Fontaines D.C.

This week we are joined by special guest Brooke, who assigned us to listen to her favorite band, Ireland's Fontaines D.C. We give our thoughts on their current discography of three albums and the new single from their upcoming 2024 release. Other tangents include Oscar's improvisational novel in progress and Dylan's annoyance at bald villains in film and TV.

Slayer - "Reign in Blood" vs. Metallica - "And Justice For All"

It's an epic showdown between two iconic thrash metal albums of the 1980s. Dylan defends his choice of the controversial and much maligned mix of "And Justice For All", while Oscar passionately explains why he thinks Slayer beats Metallica any day of the week. This one gets heated, folks! A video version of this podcast is available on our YouTube channel, ODcast Arts.

A Tribe Called Quest vs. Jay-Z

For our belated return to podcasting in 2024, we discussed two of our favorite hip-hop albums of the 90s, Jay-Z's debut album "Reasonable Doubt" and A Tribe Called Quest's sophomore effort "The Low End Theory." Due to the large file size of our video episodes, we will no longer be posting the video versions on Spotify. Instead, please find video versions of this podcast on our YouTube channel, ODcast Arts.
