In this episode, Alex Stolz speaks with Guy Gadney, CEO and founder of Charismatic.ai, about how generative AI is being used not just to assist, but to co-create stories in bold new ways. Charismatic — a spin-out from a major UK R&D consortium with Channel 4 and Aardman — has developed a platform that enables creators to develop structured, consistent narratives from the seed of an idea, with real-time iteration and animated playthroughs. The result? A system that's making storytelling more accessible, scalable, and personalized than ever before. We explore how this technology could unlock new opportunities for storytellers globally, from neurodiverse creators to grassroots communities, and what the rise of microdramas — short, serialized, mobile-native stories — means for audience engagement, monetization, and the next wave of creator-owned IP. Guy also shares his candid views on AI, authenticity, and why creators must act now to ensure the future of content is not just automated — but equitable. About Guy Gadney Guy is CEO and Founder of Charismatic.ai which is at the forefront of Creative AI. He has run three start-ups as well as working for international media and telco organisations. With Charismatic.ai, Guy is transforming the use of AI in film, television and video games, focusing on the power of good storytelling and bridging the gap between the creative and technology industries. He has produced Emmy and BAFTA-nominated digital productions, and interactive narratives for Warner Bros, Dreamworks, Sky and the BBC, as well as the award-winning AI game adaptation of John Wyndham's The Kraken Wakes. Guy is on Innovate UK's BridgeAI Advisory Board, a Trustee of Sheffield Doc Fest, on the Board of Oxford's Story Museum, and a co-founder of The Collaborative AI Consortium in 2019, researching the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Creative Industries.​ You can find out more about Charasmatic AI at www.charasmatic.ai. www.futureoffilm.live 2025

In this conversation, we talked about starting over,  more than once. About what burnout really looks like when you're the one everyone counts on. And how community, when done right, can quite literally bring you back to yourself.You'll hear how Cynthia went from managing luxury brands to building grassroots spaces in four cities, all while figuring out how to protect her energy and build something that actually lasts. If you've ever thought about creating something real, something that connects people and still keeps you whole. This one's for you.Let's get into it.

Who are 'gifted' children? In ‘Gifted Children' in Britain and the World: Elitism and Equality since 1945 Jennifer Crane, a senior lecturer in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol (Oxford UP, 2025) tells the social and cultural history of this category of young people. The book charts the individuals, organisations, policymakers, and media activities that aimed to identify children as ‘gifted', lobbying for their social status and the potential benefit they might bring to both the UK and the rest of the world. At the same time, the book critically assesses the idea of 'gifted' children being closely intertwined with a range of social inequalities, reflecting Britain's broader class, race, gender and disability hierarchies. Most crucially, the book draws on children's voices, foregrounding their experiences of understanding, embracing, and resisting the 'gifted' label. At a time of renewed public debates over social and cultural hierarchies, the book is essential reading across the humanities and social sciences. It is available open access here. Jennifer Crane is lecturer in health geographies at the School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol, working at the intersection of history, geography, and sociologies of health.

Phil Hammond is an Emeritus Professor of Media and Communications in the School of Arts and Creative Industries at London South Bank University, who spent his career examining propaganda, especially in the UK. He edited a tome with Ed Herman (of the Chomsky-Herman propaganda model fame) on the reporting about the war in Kosovi and Metohija: Degraded Capability: The Media and the Kosovo Crisis , which included contributions by Harold Pinter, John Pilger and many other media critics. We spoke about what it was like being a media analyst in a highly moralistic reporting environment, and how propaganda changed in the past 25 years, including the reporting on Israel and Iran.

What is the relationship between medicine and commerce? In Selling Sexual Knowledge: Medical Publishing and Obscenity in Victorian Britain (Cambridge University Press, 2025), Sarah Bull, an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Toronto Metropolitan University, explores the relationships between doctors, sexual reform campaigners, publishers and pornography in the Victorian era.

Bean and Dan were once more joined by Tade Thompson, who relates to us his experiences of moving into the world of screenwriting, an entirely different beast than novel writing, and which comes with its own trials and networks to navigate.He discusses the different writing techniques required, the different ways a manuscript works its way through production systems, and how a film or TV show actually gets made. He even has a little scoop for us towards the end of the episode.Elsewhere, we discuss the perils and opportunities of the use of AI in writing, particularly the threat it poses to creative industries, but also where its limitations lie. As a psychotherapist, Tade also relays strong opinions about how a reliance upon AI can have effects upon human cognitive ability. As we meander through the conversation we cover upon Sith lords, breast-punching, and Dan's recycling.Elsewhere, Sligo resident Montoolian McD'Gaskell attempts to win big big money but runs up against an unlikely obstacle: Google Gemini AI. Will Montoolian win enough cash to buy himself another beer?

Karina Michel's journey through the entertainment industry is a remarkable tale of resilience and adaptability. Beginning her career as a model discovered at a local mall in Ohio, she quickly transitioned to acting, immersing herself in the vibrant scenes of New York City and later Los Angeles. Despite facing the challenges of a competitive industry and grappling with self-doubt, Karina harnessed her experiences to pivot into producing. This shift allowed her to take control of the narratives being told, culminating in her acclaimed documentary, Heart of Florida PD, which won an Emmy and highlighted the lives of first responders in her community.

Hey humans! I was absolutely thrilled to have a fascinating conversation with Alison Coward joining us all the way from across the pond (as I finally got to say!) Alison shared her incredible human experience, tracing her journey through the worlds of fashion promotion, supporting creative practitioners, and ultimately diving deep into the power of collaboration. We kicked off by exploring Alison's path, from her early fascination with the creative industries to her pivotal Master's research focused on collaboration within that sector. This led to the birth of her business, Bracket, which initially aimed to connect creative freelancers for collaborative projects.  Alison also sheds light on the application of design thinking principles to foster more human-centered and collaborative ways of working within teams. It was truly an insightful discussion that left me pondering how we can all be more intentional about fostering collaboration and creativity in our daily work.

In February this year, the UK government published a consultation on AI, proposing a change to current copyright legislation. It would allow tech companies to use creative works including film, TV and original journalism to train AI models without permission of the creators, unless they have opted out.It was met with harsh criticism, rallying "Make it fair" campaigns and rejections from both creatives and tech platforms alike, albeit for opposite reasons. Google and OpenAI responded to the consultation saying that it would cause developers to "deprioritise the market" and that "training on the open web must be free" while creative industries including Alex Mahon, chief executive of Channel 4, said that the lack of transparency and compensation would "scrape the value" from quality content.Campaign questions if UK regulation will harm creative industries and how it will impact the country's own advancements in AI. This episode welcomes guest Michael Horn, global head of AI at Omnicom Advertising Group.
