  • Amazing experience

    This podcast from the food heists to Brando Sando is a surreal experience. As an aspiring author I have been giving great advise on how to become one I just ask this one question though to Dan how do you get your head so shiny. I would also love to hear more episodes about cryptics or mythological monsters

  • Artists on AI

    The episode with Brandon and Steve Argyle discussing the uses and dangers of AI was fantastic. It was a detailed, cohesive, and powerful warning about the problems of AI in the creative space. The best part was the ending, where Brandon and Steve gave the listeners some very grounded and realistic ideas about how new artists can rise above the rapidly growing tide of AI content creation. I actually finished listening feeling a sense of hope in the strength of human connection and experience!
