Artificial intelligence isn’t here to replace radio — but it is coming for the audience’s attention, and it’s doing so on radio’s most important turf: deep personal connection. Dan McQuillin, Managing Director at Broadcast Bionics, joins Kirk to explore how AI and large language models can augment radio production rather than compete with it. Dan shares the fascinating “DanGPT” experiment — an AI version of himself so convincing it won over his wife of 34 years — as proof that AI can be just as personal and engaging as traditional radio. Together, they discuss how radio’s greatest strengths — shared experience, belonging, and community — remain central, and how embracing AI as “Augmented Intelligence” can amplify those qualities. With a growth mindset, AI becomes more than a cost-cutting tool; it’s a creative partner that makes the once-impossible possible. As Dan puts it, we used to have more ideas than time — now, thanks to AI, ideas are the only limit.

"L'estate sta finendo e un anno se ne va...!" - Inizia cosi una delle canzoni più famose dell'italo-disco che ha spopolato prima in tutte le discoteche italiane e poi, in tutti gli stadi europei!

Ma dove? Prima negli anni '80! Preparate il costume e le ciabatte. Spiagge lunghissime ed affollate. Il sole è forte e corriamo sulla spiaggia tra l'ombra di un ombrellone ed un altra, cercando di non bruciare i piedi. Dobbiamo arrivare al bar, è l'ora dell'aperitivo e si sento in lontananza le parole di una canzone che come un distinto portinaio, ci ricordano che qualcosa sta finendo e tanto altro sta per iniziare... _L'estate sta finendo e un anno se ne va Sto diventando grande lo sai che non mi va In spiaggia di ombrelloni non ce ne sono più È il solito rituale ma ora manchi tu La-languidi bri-brividi Come il ghiaccio bruciano quando sto con te Ba-ba-baciami siamo due satelliti in orbita sul mar È tempo che i gabbiani arrivino in città L'estate sta finendo lo sai che non mi va Io sono ancora solo non e una novità Tu hai già chi ti consola a me chi penserà... E' la canzone dei Righeira! Ma chi sono i Righeira? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Righeira https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo_disco E poi dove andiamo? Vicino Roma, in un borgo molto particolare, a partire dal nome: "Borgo Laudato Sì". E' un borgo molto interessante, nato per volontà del Papa precedente, Papa Francesco.

Linguistic research has its highs and lows: from staging a traditional wedding to learn about ceremonial words to having your efforts to found a village school disrupted by civil war. Linguistic research can also be about highs and lows: in this case, looking at how high and low tones in Babanki words affect their meaning. In this episode, your host Lauren Gawne gets enthusiastic about the highs and lows of fieldwork in Babanki with Dr. Pius Akumbu, who's a linguist from Babanki, Cameroon, and a Director of Research in African Linguistics at CNRS in the LLACAN Lab (the Languages and Cultures of Africa Lab) in Paris, France. We talk about Professor Akumbu's documentation work on a wide variety of topics from the relationship of Babanki to other Grassfields and Bantu languages, what happens when words have a mysterious extra tone that is only produced under the right circumstances (floating tones), to that time he staged a false wedding to document traditional wedding ceremonial language – and led to a real couple opting for a traditional-style wedding of their own. We also talk about the process of founding a school in his home village to ensure that children have access to primary education in their own language.

In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about the joys and challenges of translating internet slang with Miguel Sánchez Ibáñez, linguist and translator of Because Internet into Spanish! We talk about why Because Internet was the toughest and also most entertaining book he's ever translated (for some of the same reasons), from coming up with localized Spanish versions of vintage internet memes to making the silly names of pretend people in the example sentences just as silly in Spanish. We also talk about leaving breadcrumbs for future translators in the original text and the special challenge of translocalizing the title: Arroba Lengua isn't a literal translation of Because Internet, but it fits similarly into Spanish internet slang.

Languages drift, adapt and evolve much like living species. In this wide-ranging conversation, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and linguist John McWhorter trace the parallels between biology and speech, from random mutations to cultural selection. They show how both genes and words change, survive and connect us — illuminating the deep patterns that shape life and language alike.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Carlo Ferrari"La renna di Ercole"Filologia e antropologia nell'opera di Karl MeuliPrefazione di Jan BremmerOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netFilologo di prim'ordine e originalissimo storico delle religioni, Karl Meuli (1891-1968) non ha raccolto finora i riconoscimenti che merita, tanto nel mondo accademico che presso il grande pubblico. Eppure, pochi studiosi hanno rivoluzionato gli studi classici come lui. Nel suo capolavoro, Scythica (1935), Meuli riconobbe per primo nel testo di Erodoto gli indizi di uno sciamanesimo greco – tesi che, ripresa da Dodds ed Eliade, continua ad animare un acceso dibattito. In Usanze sacrificali greche (1946) avanzò l'ipotesi non meno dirompente che il sacrificio animale descritto da Omero avesse avuto origine nei rituali paleolitici della caccia. Intuizioni che trovano oggi conferme via via sempre più solide nelle scoperte archeologiche. Questo libro – la prima monografia dedicata a questo studioso – indaga la genesi e gli esiti più innovativi di un metodo di lavoro inimitabile, di cui i vertiginosi confronti tra miti, usanze e cerimonie attraverso lo spazio eurasiatico costituiscono l'aspetto più avvincente. Dalla Siberia all'Attica, dal Mediterraneo alla Mongolia, nelle ricerche di Karl Meuli emerge la fitta trama di connessioni storiche che lega la civiltà greca ai popoli nomadi delle steppe. Arricchisce il volume una prefazione di Jan Bremmer.Carlo Ferrari(Parma, 1990) è stato allievo della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa e borsista dell'Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici di Napoli. È autore di Santi e sciamani. Una lettura storico-religiosa della Gallia tardoromana (Mimesis, 2022), rielaborazione della tesi di dottorato discussa all'Università di Firenze, e di vari contributi sulla storia religiosa del mondo antico.

Farage offers what Britain wants: ‘a cheeky, up-yours, never-mind-the-knockers revolt against our agonisingly earnest political masters'.‘From Farage on down,' Roberts argues, ‘there is a glorious kind of naffness' to Reform: daytime-TV aesthetics, ‘bargain-basement' celebrities and big-breasted local councillors. ‘The progressive activists thought they could win the culture war simply by saying they had won it', but ‘the John Bulls and Greasy Joans are stirring again'. Roberts loves how ‘the current excitement over flag-raising' is the ‘conniptions' it gives to ‘the FBPE crowd'. Of course, for Farage, planning for government ‘really cannot be a pantomime affair'. But ‘in these grim times' we ‘need the romping Reform'.

The perpetrator was widely reported in the media with the pronouns ‘she/her' which, Lionel argues, is not just an issue around politeness. This glosses over the fact that the shooter was biologically male, adding to the majority of cases of school shootings that are conducting by men. By pandering to this incoherence of the reality of the situation, it doesn't help society to uncover the reasons behind the issue.Lionel joined the podcast alongside the Spectator's US editor Freddy Gray.
