Great advice and an amusing theme

Crazed Artist

Like the Gnome Stew website, this podcast offers RPG advice and ideas in a nicely digestible short form. (Gnomes... digestible... get it?!) Everyone associated with the show is great, and Angela is a sharp and insightful host. — Jen / Pixelscapes

I tried to give the AI episode another chance, but hearing your guest come on and do anything but fully condemn this mass theft of people’s creative labor is just a big dagger in the back of anyone who’s had their job obliterated by this trash. And comparing the way AI calculates images to the way artists take inspiration from their predecessors is a useless excuse we’ve all heard a million times. It’s insulting, and I’m annoyed to hear it from your guest. So yeah, see you around, I guess. Or not.

This is a short form podcast that tackles a topic that appears on the blog, utilizing some of the authors that contribute to the site. All of the contributors are interesting and have some solid insights, but the show still feels a little bit unfocused. It's a new show, and I think it just hasn't quite hit its stride or fully realized what it wants to be yet, but still not a bad listen, and it's a fairly short form show.
