    It’s definitely a really specific podcast, but if you’re an artist, creator, podcaster, or business owner, I definitely recommend keeping up with show since the resources and information can be vital to your growth. Especially since AI is here and is happening. Be sure to check out the Youtube, though, if you can. It will make the experience much better.

  • Mid who?

    Ok at first, I had absolutely no idea what these guys were talking about because I have never heard of midjourney. This is apparently a new AI tool to generate images. After listening to the first episode and most recent episode, I agree with the host that nobody is doing a podcast about this software. So if you are a mid journey user or into AI and want to learn more, this podcast is definitely for you. My only suggestion to the hosts would be to have put in the trailer actual description of w... more

Frequently Asked Questions About Fast Hours

What is Fast Hours about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Fast Hours is a practical, hands-on show where two designers test and critique AI tools and workflows in real time. Episodes center on Midjourney, Seedance, Claude, and other evolving AI creatives, with a focus on what actually improves client work for designers, marketers, and creative teams. The hosts test features, share workflows, and call out both the wins and the gaps, offering clear takeaways on tool viability, pricing, governance, and real-world use cases. A notable strength is the unapologetic, experience-first approach—no guests, just two practitioners evaluating the state of AI for creative production, which can be especially valuable for listeners evaluating purchases, partnerships, or sponsorships in the creator economy.
