Where does Frasier's snobbery originate from? Why does he revert to his ‘child state' when around his father? And... the hidden story behind Frasier being a Freudian analyst and Niles (his brother) being a Jungian analyst. Plus, Ben and Nemone's minds are blown when they realise a crazy coincidence with Frasier and Tony Soprano. We want to hear from you!!!

This week's Ryecast features two local men who have collaborated on a new picture book for young children. “Daisy and the Sneezee” has been written & illustrated by David Angell and Oliver Brooks who both live in Rye. They've been telling James Stewart about the story behind the book and discussing their favourite authors – including some of Rye's most famous writers.They're entering a crowded marketplace competing against best-selling celebrity authors, but they're both inspired by the creativity of Rye today and the town's long history of writing. “I didn't grow up here, but as a child I read The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Rye's Joan Aitken,” says Oliver “I read the Captain Pugwash stories too. It's only living here I've discovered John Ryan's house in the town.” For David, Rye's thriving creative community has also helped his writing. “There's a culture of collaboration here. Everyone has a story to tell. Who wouldn't be inspired by this beautiful town.”You can buy Daisy and the Sneezee at Ethel Loves Me on the High Street or from www.sneezee.co.uk.

Space isn’t the final frontier. It’s the latest focus for big capital, with Elon Musk’s SpaceX leading the way. Other companies are literally piggybacking the opportunity to use space for all kinds of things, from surveillance to microlab experiments. SpaceX also collaborated with NASA for a historic mission to send US astronauts back into space, mere days after the murder of George Floyd in the midst of the lockdowns. This has drawn parallels with the moon landing, which took place in an America reeling from Martin Luther King jr’s assasination. We discuss how innovation should always be talked about in the context of the society in which it was made. Do we even choose to go online anymore, or is that just our status as beings? Will the internet become the ‘ether’ philosophers used to muse about, an imperceptible force that guides our lives? Our hosts discuss in a classic Creative Machines speculation session. discussing how the internet has become even more essential in the lockdowns and how our relationship with it is changing. Creative Machines is recorded and produced by David Angell at his studio, Giant Sound Toronto. Follow SpaceX to learn how to do space travel but make it fashion.

We’ve always tried to take a positive look at technology on this show, but sometimes that’s just not possible. The last few weeks, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the protests that erupted around the world, has shone a light on some of the tech world’s murkier aspects. It turns out facial recognition technologies were flawed from the start, filled with biases because of where the original data came from: white men. Thanks to coders such as Joy Buolamwini and Deborah Raji, those biases are finally being acknowledged by the tech world, with some leading companies suggesting they might drop their research for good. But is it too late? US police forces have been dabbling with facial recognition for years already, filling up their databases with literal fiction. The Georgetown Law Center on Privacy and Technology released a review of police facial recognition practices and what they found is not only ridiculous but reinforces the police targeting of People of Colour. Trump has turned on his favoured mouthpiece, Twitter, after they flagged up a tweet that incited violence during Black Lives Matter protests, but can he actually do anything about it? Probably not… Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want to moderate Trump’s Facebook content. Facebook employees, however, feel differently. Speaking of moderating, how much thought do we give the human moderators that shield us all from some truly horrific content? Facebook recently acknowledged that these employees (contracted to Facebook via private companies) have suffered PTSD as a result of their work. Check out the Algorithmic Justice League, founded by Buolamwini - a comprehensive resource for fighting technologically-embedded biases. Read more about Facebook moderators in this harrowing article from The Verge, and read the moderators’ anonymous statement in full. Read more reports from the Georgetown Law Centre on Privacy and Technology on the widespread use of facial recognition technologies in the US.

We’re still social distancing, keeping an eye on how our relationship with technology is changing throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Sidewalk Toronto is not going to happen. Is it because Covid-19? Kind of. It’s also a long story of innovative thinking meets city bureaucracy. But how will we solve all the problems cities face? Will it mean the privatization of public space? Is that a price worth paying? No, Covid-19 (almost certainly) wasn’t made in a lab. We’d know if it was. Using apps to make someone go to the store and bring groceries to you. Is it the right thing to do or grossly bourgeois? And can Amazon just be better to its employees? And finally, Toronto saves us all from the selfie-stick hell by bringing Spring to us: live stream cherry blossoms could be the quiet time we all need. We are grateful for all the frontline staff who never had the option of staying at home. Let’s repay their hard work by keeping to the rules as the lockdowns are lifted. This episode is produced by David Angell at his studio, Giant Sound Toronto. Want to be on the show or know someone who should?

We’re back discussing tech in the time of the Covid-19 Pandemic: space-based internet from headline-shy Elon Musk; ex-football player uses AI to predict Covid-19 outbreaks (alright, ‘soccer player’); the Instagram founders are back tracking Covid-19 spread and making better statisticians of us all; Travis Scott played a show to 12 million people. In a video game? Pietro had no idea at first what he was seeing in the night sky recently. It was Starlink’s satellite train - the latest batch of what will be thousands of satellites, part of Elon Musk’s plan to ‘rebuild the internet in space’. While we know now more than ever why internet access has to be a human right, what will the sky look like when it’s full of satellites? Footballers don’t usually found AI companies after retiring, but an ex-Real Madrid midfielder did. Now his company is pivoting to predict Covid-19 outbreaks in his native Spain.  The Instagram founders are also tracking the spread of Covid-19 cases state-by-state in the U.S. And they’re doing a great job at something that’s pretty difficult: making data interesting to look at. Travis Scott played a show to 12 million people. Well, it was a Travis Scott avatar. And it was in a video game. But still, in the wake of social distancing, is this an unexpected future for entertainment? We’re grateful that we can carry on making podcasts during this pandemic. Creative Machines wishes to thank all the essential workers keeping society going. We hope you’re being taken care of and we appreciate you.

Andrew is having a drink on a virtual beach with social media legend and cartoonist David Angell... and they discover a new meme called #ZoomEndFace which is the frozen smile pose people strike at the end of a video chat while they try to click the 'end meeting' button without looking. 

Can we track Covid-19 community spread without giving up our privacy? Apple and google tell us we can - but they would, wouldn’t they? Aaron and Pietro discuss how the tech superpowers have teamed up to produce an app that promises anonymous contact tracing. And no, it doesn’t involve licking your phone. Conspiracy theories are going mainstream while we all spend more time at home on the internet - like how 5G is the real reason behind the pandemic. It definitely isn’t. But is the next generation technology truly safe? And finally, some tales of an old favourite topic on Creative Machines: open source. Sharing the specs of PPE face shield has enabled kids to dust off that 3D printer they used once and get making life-saving equipment.

We’re back with Season 2 but not like we planned. Hosts Aaron Towlson and Pietro Gagliano have been recording remotely, following how the tech community is responding to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We discuss 3D printing, autonomous robots and speculate about how the future is being affected by Covid-19. This pandemic has caused all of us to turn to technology more than ever before. Zoom parties. Hours of Frozen 2 on repeat. Trying to work from home without constantly scrolling through Instagram.. Life looks very different for many of us at the moment as we rightly focus on saving as many lives as possible. Technology has been promising to change society for the better for a while now. Many companies are already stepping in to provide innovative solutions to this unprecedented problem. Looking ahead to the future, will this pandemic reshape our relationship with technology? What will society look like after the lockdowns are removed? Is it time for radical innovation as all our frailties are revealed to us as a society in the wake of this disease? Will the speed of innovation change? We’ll be keeping track of how the tech community is evolving throughout this crisis. We feel very grateful that we’re able to record this podcast remotely. Thank you to all the essential workers who are having to leave their homes every day to keep society going. Produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.

Matt Russo has managed to combine his two passions, astrophysics and music, into a career. A physics lecturer at the University of Toronto by trade, Matt has developed a system of turning planetary motions into music, System Sounds. We discuss Matt’s early struggle between the arty and scientist sides of his personality and how he combines them both in his teaching. We learn about the Trappist-1 system that changed Matt’s life: a series of seven Earth-like planets arranged in a system that seems so perfect it might just be an alien experiment (and they sound like a radiohead song in Matt’s system). Since we have an astrophysicist in, we also nerd out over one of the defining scientific moments of this decade: the first image of a black hole that was published earlier this year, and the stories behind that historic moment. Plus, we take another look at yet another wild idea Elon Musk is brewing: Starlink. And Pietro asks Matt other big questions.

From Sidewalk Labs building the City of the Future to Microsoft valiantly Defending Democracy, big tech is doing its best to impact society for the better..? We hope.Katie Davis is a web developer at Shopify, one of Canada’s startup-to-success stories. What’s it like working for a company that changed the web? Pretty great, it turns out.Katie talks us through her experiences of coding, how she got it into, what she gets out of it, and how it’s really more a creative tool than Hollywood images of coders might suggest. It’s also a changing industry that’s becoming more diverse and accessible year on year, but still has some work to do.Web development and programming are now considered highly employable skills, leading to good salaries and a flexible, well supported work life. However, these highly skilled jobs are developing tools that affect worklife for millions of people globally. Automation, the gig economy… How are other industries and, more importantly, people, being affected by an increasingly technological society?Creative Machines is recorded and produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.Follow us on twitter and instagram (@machinespodcast).Do you want to be a guest or know someone who should be?

Sometimes our guests talk about technology that’s so wild, we just have to take another off-topic look at it.This time, we discuss Amazon's smart shelves, but also what happens when the law has access to smart image-capturing devices; we discuss Sophia the Robot and the time she went on a date with Will Smith; finally, we discuss Martine Rothblatt and her genuine attempts to overcome death by digitizing consciousness.Creative Machines Tangents is recorded and produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.Follow us on twitter and instagram (@machinespodcast)

Britt Wray wrote a book about de-extinction, or should that be ‘necrofauna’? We discuss what de-extinction means and if it’s even possible to bring back an extinct species. Either way, the tools researchers are developing, such as CRISPR-Cas9, are heralding a new era of synthetic biology, where we can manipulate nature towards our own needs. The question is: should we? We get into the nature of technological progress in general, examining the mindsets of the researchers chasing their dreams (and funding) and what it means that humans want to ‘undo’ our mistakes by using technology. Creative Machines is recorded live and produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.Britt Wray recently completed a PhD in science communication at the University of Copenhagen, where she’s also been hosting TEDx (Britt’s also given a TED Talk or two). Britt is the host of the BBC podcast Tomorrow’s World and has also hosted Quirks and Quarks for the CBC. Her book, Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics, and Risks of De-Extinction, was published in 2017 by Greystone Books and the David Suzuki Institute.

Advertisers finally know what we, us, the individuals actually want. It’s creepy but also kinda useful. Award winning creative director and futurist Dré Labre talks us through the ways new technology is giving advertisers more of what they’ve always wanted (our money).We leave our data everywhere; we let our phones listen in on our conversations, we even tell our smart devices exactly what we’re into and we use ‘free’ social media accounts to literally tell advertisers what we ‘like’. Not only has this led to targeted advertising, it might also be changing the way we think of our privacy. That’s just the beginning. Imagine a world where entire cities are turned into interactive, augmented reality adverts during a major sporting event; facial recognition billboards know how you’re reacting to them and react back; products are targeted to your own personal genome. We discuss all this, plus a quick look at the wild world of deepfakes (including some positive takes); some campaigns that have put social change at the top of their agenda (especially those that target packaging waste); and ways advertising can change for the better. Recorded live and produced by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.Dré Labre won numerous awards during his time as a creative director at Rethink Canada. He once placed Molson beer fridges all around the world that could only be opened when someone sang the whole of Oh, Canada! into them. Since leaving Rethink he’s founded TBD.company, where he uses science fiction as a tool to help companies reach their long term visions.Follow Dré Labre on twitter @drelabreFollow Creative Machines on twitter @machinespodcastDo you want to be a guest or know someone who should be?

Our co-hosts go off topic for a quick look at some of the issues raised in the series. Pietro discusses his 'dynamic film' and the highs and lows of founding his new company, Transitional Forms; we look into what Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey has been up to since being fired by Facebook ('Turning soldiers into superheroes...'); and weigh in on the Facebook/Twitter political ads debate. Recorded live by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.

Biohacking, transhumanism, Silicon Valley bros… just some of the subjects we discuss with award-winning documentary filmmaker Ann Shin. After discussing why VR hasn’t quite realized its potential as the ‘ultimate empathy machine’, we explore a range of future-facing topics. This episode is really about what it means to be human in a time when technology is changing the way we see ourselves. Big data is giving us an unprecedented insight into our own bodies; even our thought processes and emotions are being processed into predictive algorithms. How do our philosophies change in the wake of this, when everything about ourselves might soon be known in gloriously boring detail? Some people are so enthralled by the oncoming artificial intelligence revolution that they’re forming a spiritual relationship with it; AI as God. Meanwhile, some folks are out there eating cereal bowls full of pills and ‘smart drugs’ every day, in a bid to maximise their biological potential. Others are even looking to ‘upgrade’ humanity by adding hardware or even exploring brain/computer interfaces. But don’t worry, Elon Musk has a plan. Several, actually.This episode was recorded live by David Angell at Giant Sound Toronto.Ann is the founder of Fathom, making award winning documentaries such as Defector: Escape From North Korea and My Enemy; My Brother. Recently, she’s produced Smart Drugs, following a biohacker’s attempts to upgrade themselves. Follow Fathom on twitter.

In what may be considered the greatest spin-off of all-time, Frasier follows the Crane family, more specifically Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammar), who moves back home to Seattle after his Cheers shenanigans and starts a new life as a radio talk show therapist. The show was created by David Angell, Peter Casey, and David and Lee was nominated for 272 awards and won 130 of them, 3 of them being Golden Globes. A lot of that success is to do with Kelsey Grammar. And a lot of that has to do with Kelsey Grammar’s voice. Joan dives into why his voice is integral to the show’s success and Frasier Crane’s (lack of) character development. As always, no spoilers!

In our last episode of season 4 we take a look at the beloved, highly awarded comedy Frasier. With an incredible cast that included Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin, Frasier was on the air for an outstanding 11 seasons. This made Kelsey Grammer's Dr. Frasier Crane, one of the longest played characters on television on three shows. This show, created by David Angell, Peter Casey and David Lee, is one of television's greatest spin-off series. The pilot episode is well written, and brilliantly performed. There is such great chemistry between Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce you'd have a hard time not believe they were not actual brothers. This first episode does an excellent job of establishing the entire premise of the show, bringing the beloved Frasier into the spotlight. Voted 35 of the Top 50 shows on television, Frasier is a top-notch comedy worth seeing. Netflix has all eleven seasons now streaming, and perhaps it is time for fans to revisit a classic, and for new viewers to enjoy an all-around solid show. Like an excellent wine, Frasier has aged well and needs to be appreciated for the great television it is.

Join The Higherside Chat podcast as host Greg Carlwood talks Lovecraft, Crowley and Yazidi with returning guest, Peter Levenda. We know the world is a stranger place than it might seem on the surface, with unknown depths few people dare to explore- and when the stakes for spending too much time looking behind the veil are madness and paranoia, who can blame them? But there is a rich history of artists, musicians, writers and creative types feeling as though they are being compelled to do what they do, that they find themselves being more conduit than creator. More vessel than virtuoso. And fans of H.P. Lovecraft's work have even battled over this very point for years. Are there hidden truths or unconscious insights woven throughout the work of the father of “supernatural horror fiction?” Today's returning guest Peter Levenda thinks so, and by the end of today's show you might be inclined to agree. Peter, of course, is the author of many books including the great Sinister Forces series discussed in his last appearance, which explores the possibility of supernatural influence in some of America's most trying times; from a deeper exploration of the Salem Witch Trials and the potential influence of ancient Indian burial ground on a young Charles Manson, to the alchemical interests of Americas founders, and that infamous seance to channel the Council of Nine in that old farmhouse in Maine. Yes, Peter Levenda has helped us understand the significance and synchronicities between places, names, dates that really make you wonder about this idea of ethereal puppet masters and how much influence they might really have. Luckily, the surgeon of synchronicity is here to discuss his latest book, his first published novel entitled "The Lovecraft Code", it branches off of the infamous “Call of Cthulhu” and uses a fictional narrative as the means of exploring what may be some profound truths. 2:42 While many of us understand that profound truths can sometimes be told easier in works of fiction, with beloved collections, such as "The Matrix" and "Westworld" acting as a blueprint. Peter explains his decision to write a novel and how it can be a more earnest and straightforward approach to tackling certain concepts. Levenda also details what it is was that intrigued him about the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, as well as his journey of exploration, starting with the work of Dennis Wheatley. 11:45 Peter continues to expand on the theory that the work of H.P. Lovecraft, while set in a fictional mythos involving creatures born from the figment of his imagination, when examined under a different paradigm, can be seen as a warning for what was to come. Perhaps he was simply a vessel of divine intervention? Levenda also elaborates on how Lovecraft's work is the foundation for things such as, "The Morning of The Magicians" and the ancient alien theory. 18:30 Greg and Peter discuss the many nails in the coffin confirming Lovecraft's work holds deeper knowledge, from his admission that some of his writing was based on his dreams- an example of unconscious reporting- to his family life, parents' psychosis, and his grandfather's ties to masonry. 22:20 Peter discusses his book, "The Lovecraft Code", his experience researching it, and how it relates back to the original "Call of Cthulhu". He also details a series of synchronicities involving Cheers writer David Angell, the events of 9/11 and Lovecraft's work. 28:00 With so many speculations circulating in the conspiracy world about the real reason the US and it's allies went to war in the Middle East, Peter helps to put a finer point to these ideas by detailing the rich tapestry of the area, the diverse sects scattered throughout Central Asia and the Middle East such as the Yadzidi, and how their ancient hidden knowledge holds the keys to understanding our past. 37:20 In the occult world, a major theme seems to be the quest for old grimoires,
