- Fire Hose
I had initially liked this quite a bit, but it has since turned into the CSIS fire hose that has just blasted exactly 30 new episodes into my feed all at once, and that seems to now be the new pattern. I was already pressed for how to spend my podcast time and it’s easier to just unsubscribe than to sift through all of these to try and guess what matters. Are they thinking about any of this from the end user’s perspective, or are they just dumping a bunch of copy into the 11 Labs software and ... more

I’ve enjoyed these ever since they’d began, and CSIS has only made them better. CSIS has met the TL;DR crowd halfway and now provides valuable readings from white papers, which I truly appreciate. I have to acknowledge that I find the 2 minute and 47 seconds ones to be unfortunately useless, but they’ve really started to give you a lot more. Eleven Labs seems to be the enabler who we have to thank; and this is truly wonderful. Bonus thought: This podcast convinces me that I would love an In... more

As much as I appreciate the revolution, the voice regularly shifts from male to female, from normal to excited…it even pronounces “s” like a hissing snake sometimes. It can be creepy communications, but I for one welcome our new AI... more

I enjoy these, but I feel compelled to offer some feedback. First, the link to the report should always be in the show notes. Every single time. Secondly, these are often clipped too early by whoever is editing. Especially at the top of 2024, the speaker is inviting you to visit the website and is abruptly cut off before finishing. That’s a quality control issue noticed in this show. On a personal note, I feel that CSIS wants these to push out the papers, but the listens may want these to ... more
