Articles of Interest using a Gemini-generated podcast in the same week as 99PI gets Claude sponsorship

These are some of my favourite podcasts and it’s been absolutely heartbreaking having both of them fully embrace gen AI like this. Never did I expect two series that focus so much on art, design, and humanity dive head first into AI propaganda, with no concern about how it steals from fellow artists, dangers around fascism and disinformation, and of course the environmental impact.

Did I miss something that could have helped predict they were about to do this? I’m honestly so gutted and quite shocked.

Podcasts about the history of soundscapes

Don't even know if there is such a thing, but I was walking around my city thinking about the different sounds I encounter, and wondered if there was any research into the history of the auditory world that people experienced in the past.

Open to all eras, neolithic to 20 years ago.

I'm NOT particularly interested in the history of music or early music reproduction, since I just want to know a bit more about how people experienced the world through sound day to day, and how that's changed - more of a social history I suppose.

Appreciate this is a super niche topic, and my google searches have not been fruitful, so any recs within the area are welcome!
