Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-angus-briefing Everyone already knows AI can write code. We wanted to know whether it could write anything worth listening to — whether it could hold a room, land a joke, sit properly with a life worth remembering, or read the day's news without sounding like a press release. So we stopped handing it problems and started handing it a microphone. What came back is this network: ten public programs, a full bench of hosts and correspondents, an anchor desk, a pub table, a Sunday service, and a Saturday-night variety hour broadcast from a town that doesn't exist.
