This week, the boys head to the jungle for one of Amazon Studios' first films, James Gray's “The Lost City of Z”. That's pronounced “Zed” for you British purists. The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson with a beard and glasses, and Sienna Miller. It was produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and was SOMEHOW filmed on a $30 million budget, half of which was spent flying the dailies out of the actual Amazon jungle. We get drinking with a few mini-reviews at the top, and Jeff must have started early because he recorded with his microphone facing the wrong way. Luckily, Dave has fixed Jeff & John's crap many times before. Grab a beer and listen in! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

News and Updates: An AI actress named Tilly Norwood, created by Dutch producer Eline Van der Velden, ignited outrage in Hollywood. SAG-AFTRA condemned her as a threat to human performers, calling her “a computer-generated character” built on unpaid human work. Stars including Whoopi Goldberg and Emily Blunt slammed the concept as unethical and dehumanizing. OpenAI's Sora 2 marks a major leap in AI video generation, producing realistic clips with accurate physics, synchronized sound, and multi-shot continuity. While hailed as groundbreaking, experts say full movie production remains far off, as the model is limited to 60-second clips and risks recycling existing footage. To avoid new lawsuits, OpenAI will let copyright holders opt out of Sora 2 recreations of their IP. Sam Altman proposed revenue sharing for rightsholders who allow their characters to appear, after Disney and others already withdrew consent. Altman framed it as “interactive fan fiction,” but critics called it damage control. Sora 2's new app allows users to make hyperrealistic AI videos using friends' likenesses through “cameos.” Early users call it “mind-blowing,” but critics warn it enables deepfakes, scams, and humiliation. OpenAI added parental controls and teen limits but faces scrutiny over safety and consent. Commentators blasted Sora 2 as “infinite AI slop,” accusing OpenAI of abandoning its mission to “benefit humanity.” The app's addictive, TikTok-style feed and rampant copyright and deepfake issues drew comparisons to social media's worst excesses, despite OpenAI's safety claims. Sam Altman downplayed concerns of an AI bubble, admitting investors will “overinvest and lose money,” but expressing confidence AI will drive massive long-term growth. Analysts warned a crash could hit the global economy as AI investments now outpace consumer spending in U.S. GDP growth.

Directed by Joachim Rønning, it features an ensemble cast including Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson, with Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn from the previous films.Development of a sequel to Tron: Legacy began in October 2010 by franchise creator Steven Lisberger.

By August, industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails was announced to be composing the score. The band's members, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, served as executive producers on the film, alongside Legacy director Joseph Kosinski.Tron: Ares premiered in Los Angeles on October 6 and was released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on October 10, 2025.

Three actors, one enigmatic play, and surprising insights into collaboration, craft, and curiosity What can three actors teach you about memory, silence, and creativity? In this episode of Your Creative Mind, I sit down with Jaqui Shiel, Mark Cosby, and Lori Kee, three accomplished performers who brought Harold Pinter's Old Times to life in a Zoom performance in Karen Kohlhaas' directing class that I took. You'll hear how they build layered characters, balance artistic work with everyday demands, and use pauses and presence to create powerful moments on stage and in life. Their stories offer practical strategies you can apply to your own communication, whether you're leading a team, teaching a class, or crafting your next project. If you want fresh insight into acting craft, collaboration, and the artistry of silence, this conversation will spark new ideas and confidence in your own creative journey.

Ralph welcomes Michael Mann, Professor in the “Department of Earth and Environmental Science” at the University of Pennsylvania and author along with Dr. Peter Hotez of “Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World.” Then we are joined by Martin O'Malley, former governor of Maryland and one time Commissioner of the Social Security Administration to refute all the lies being told about the state of Social Security.Dr. Michael E. Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor in the “Department of Earth and Environmental Science” at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a co-founder of the award-winning science website RealClimate.org, and the author of more than 200 peer-reviewed and edited publications, numerous op-eds and commentaries, and seven books, including “Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten Our World” (co-authored with Dr. Peter Hotez).It's the five actors that we talk about, the five forces that threaten our world: the Plutocrats, the Petro States, the Polluters, the Propagandists, and yes, the Press, not all media outlets, but many of them, including even what we used to think of as legacy. Objective news outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post too often engage in what we call performative neutrality, where anti-science positions are placed on an equal footing with the overwhelming consensus of the world's scientists.Dr. Michael MannPeople like to finger point at China, which currently is the largest emitter (of greenhouse gases) because they industrialized much later than the United States, more than a century later. But their trajectory is actually a downward trajectory. They've contributed far less carbon pollution to the atmosphere than we have, and they're taking greater action.Dr. Michael MannThe United States doesn't get to determine the future course of human civilization at this point. It's going to be the rest of the world. All the United States gets to determine is whether it's going to be on the front line of the clean energy transition, the great economic development of this century, whether they're going to be on board or left behind.Dr. Michael MannMartin O'Malley served as Commissioner of the Social Security Administration from December 20, 2023 to November 29, 2024. He previously served as Governor of Maryland from 2007 to 2015, following two terms as Mayor of the City of Baltimore.Once they (the Trump Administration) got rid of the heads of all of the offices of Inspectors General, they started launching these big lies, like the lie that there are 12 million dead people that continue to receive checks. And as Trump said himself to Congress, some of them are as much as 300 years old, which would have had them here for the founding of Jamestown.Martin O'MalleyThey (Republicans) are trying to wreck it (Social Security), wreck its reputation, wreck its customer service, so then they can rob it.Martin O'MalleyNews 10/3/25* Our top story this week is President Trump's chilling speech to the military high command, in which he proclaimed that “America is under invasion from within,” per PBS. Trump went on to say that he plans to use American cities – citing Chicago, San Francisco, and Portland – as “training grounds for our military.” Warning against conscientious objections by the military to this weaponization against domestic opponents, Trump added “I'm going to be meeting with generals and with admirals and with leaders. And if I don't like somebody, I'm going to fire them right on this spot.” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who has recently styled himself Secretary of War, reiterated this message, saying “if the words I'm speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign.” In terms of actual policy, a new draft National Defense Strategy calls for prioritizing defense of the “homeland,” over potential foreign threats, such as from China, per POLITICO. The administration followed up this declaration with a dystopian deployment in Chicago, where federal agents rappelled down from helicopters to raid a South Side apartment building, arresting Venezuelan migrants and Black American citizens alike. In a statement given to ABC7 Chicago, one man detained by feds stated “They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another.” Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker decried the presence of “jackbooted thugs roaming around a peaceful downtown,” and demanded federal troops “Get out of Chicago...You are not helping us,” per the New York Times.* Speaking of conflicts abroad, this week Trump unveiled his proposal for a peace deal in Gaza. According to CNN, “The plan calls for Israel to release 250 Palestinian prisoners with life sentences, as well as 1,700 Palestinians detained since the start of the war, in exchange for Hamas freeing 48 hostages.” Once these exchanges have been completed, Israel is to gradually withdraw from Gaza and turn over administration of the enclave to a “Board of Peace,” which will include Trump himself along with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in a bizarre historical echo of the British mandatory rule over Palestine. If this process proceeds, it will supposedly create “a path for a just peace on the basis of a two-state solution.” The odds of success however are slim.* In more Gaza news, the Global Sumud Flotilla has been intercepted off the coast of Gaza and Israel has detained the activists on board. Video evidence shows the IDF detaining activist Greta Thunberg specifically. According to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, “The Israeli government has illegally abducted over 450 participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla, including nearly two dozen U.S. citizens…We must demand their immediate release and their protection from abuse and torture in Israeli detention. End the siege and genocide of Gaza now.” According to the Flotilla organizers, one of the ships – the Mikeno – got as close as 9.3 miles from the coast, within Gaza's territorial waters, before they lost its signal. While disappointing, given that this is the largest aid flotilla to Gaza in history and came so close to the shore, it seems that at least the flotilla gave fishermen in Gaza the opportunity to go out on the water without interference from the Israeli navy – a crack in the all-encompassing blockade.* Meanwhile, Fox News reports that Israeli intelligence hijacked all cellphones in Gaza in order to forcibly broadcast Prime Minister Netanyahu's United Nations General Assembly speech last week, in which he accused the leaders of western nations who recently recognized the state of Palestine – France, Australia, and the U.K. among others – of being “Leaders who appease evil rather than support a nation whose brave soldiers guard you from the barbarians at the gate,” adding, “They're already penetrating your gates. When will you learn?” Netanyahu's speech was also blasted into Gaza via loudspeakers on the Israeli side of the border. The families of the hostages still held in Gaza released a statement decrying this provocative action, writing “We know from our children…that the loudspeakers were placed inside Gaza. This action endangers their lives, all for the sake of a so-called public diplomacy campaign to preserve [Netanyahu's] rule…He is doing PR at the expense of our children's lives and security. Today we lost the last shred of trust we had in the political echelon and in the army leaders who approved this scandalous operation.”* In Latin America, Trump is planning to bailout Argentina, which has suffered tremendous economic shocks under the stewardship of radical Libertarian President Javier Milei. According to Newsweek, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has offered Argentina a, “$20 billion swap line and other forms of assistance to help stabilize the Argentine peso, and said the U.S. remained ‘prepared to do what is necessary' to sustain the ‘important strides' taken by Milei.” This kind of ideologically driven foreign assistance flies in the face of Trump's supposed “America First” policies, but beyond that it has infuriated domestic interests, especially in the agricultural sector. American Soybean Association President Caleb Ragland posted a statement reading, “The frustration is overwhelming…U.S. soybean prices are falling, harvest is underway, and farmers read headlines not about securing a trade agreement with China, but that the U.S. is extending…economic support to Argentina.” This is a particular twist of the knife because following Trump's offer, Argentina lowered export restrictions and sent “20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans to China in just two days.” Republicans representing agricultural interests share this fury. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley wrote “Why would [America] help bail out Argentina while they take American soybean producers' biggest market???...We should use leverage at every turn to help [the] hurting farm economy. Family farmers should be top of mind in negotiations by representatives of [the] USA.” North Dakota Representative Julie Fedorchak added “This is a bitter pill for North Dakota soybean farmers to swallow.”* Moving on from foreign affairs, this week saw the release of a new batch of Epstein files, demanded by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee and turned over by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate. These files include “phone message logs, copies of flight logs and manifests for aircraft,” along with “copies of financial ledgers and Epstein's daily schedule.” These new releases implicate many big names, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and well-documented Epstein associate, Prince Andrew of the British royal family, per the BBC. The release of these files is the latest victory in the campaign to expose everyone involved with Epstein's underage sex ring, a campaign Republicans in government – led by President Trump – have resisted. According to the Hill, Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to allow the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, who was elected last week in a special election to fill the seat vacated by her father's death. In this move, many see an attempt by Speaker Johnson to stave off the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. Grijalva has already committed to signing the petition.* In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, Republicans have hammered the left for what they see as violent rhetoric, with the White House going so far as to classify certain ideas – among them anti-fascism, anti-capitalism and “extremism on migration, race, and gender” – as potentially punishable under domestic terrorism laws. Meanwhile, however, the Arizona Mirror reports a Republican lawmaker in the state has called for the Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal to be “tried convicted and hanged.” The lawmaker, state Representative John Gillette, was responding to a video in which Jayapal counseled protestors on “non-violent resistance” to Trump's policies. Gillette on the other hand has vocally supported the January 6th insurrectionaries, labeling them “political prisoners” and calling for their release. Asked for comment, Gillette said “The comment is what it is.” For her part, Congresswoman Jayapal has called for “All political leaders, of all parties, [to] denounce” these comments.* Turning to local news, incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has dropped his bid for reelection, Reuters reports. Adams has been mired in scandal of all kinds, including a federal indictment for bribery. Speculation abounds as to why he chose to suspend his campaign now. It is too late to take his name off of the ballot and he declined to endorse any other candidate, making it unlikely that he did so to bolster the chances of disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is still continuing his independent bid for the mayoralty despite lagging behind Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani by a substantial margin. On the other hand, Adams has previously been offered incentives by President Trump to drop out of the race, including potential protection from prosecution and an ambassadorial post in Saudi Arabia. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, claims “Seven different people,” have offered him a “total of $10 million,” to withdraw from the race, but he adamantly refuses to do so, saying “you can't bribe me, buy me, lease me, I'm not for sale.” This from the New York Post.* Next, on September 25th, Black liberation activist Assata Shakur passed away at the age of 78, per Democracy Now!. Shakur had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper in 1973, though serious doubts remain about her role in the death. She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba, where she received asylum in 1984 and continued to maintain her innocence until her death. In 1998, Pope John Paul II visited Cuba and faced calls to demand Assata's extradition to the United States to “face justice” for the murder. In a highly-publicized letter, Assata wrote “The New Jersey State Police and other law enforcement officials say they want to see me brought to ‘justice.' But I would like to know what they mean by ‘justice.' Is torture justice?... When my people receive justice, I am sure that I will receive it, too.” Rest in power, Assata.* Our final story comes to us from, where else, but Hollywood. Variety reports, AI production studio Particle6 has created an AI “actress” who is “named” Tilly Norwood and thereby created a firestorm within the entertainment industry. Tilly's creator, Eline Van der Velden argues that she sees, “AI not as a replacement for people, but as a new tool…Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI opened fresh possibilities without taking away from live acting…nothing – certainly not an AI character – can take away the craft or joy of human performance.” However, SAG-AFTRA – the union representing screen actors – has issued a blistering statement, writing “To be clear, ‘Tilly Norwood' is not an actor, it's a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation…It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we've seen, audiences aren't interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience.” The statement continues, “It doesn't solve any ‘problem' — it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry.” This episode is simply the latest clash within the entertainment industry between workers and the rising tide of AI. It will not be the last.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines that range from a bizarre FBI mishap at a Montana animal shelter to the strange turns of daily news. The panel then dives into the controversy surrounding Tilly Norwood, the world's first AI-generated “actress,” unveiled at the Zurich Film Festival. They examine the ethical concerns raised by talent agencies considering representation for a digital performer, highlighting the lingering tension from the SAG-AFTRA strikes. From there, the conversation expands into a broader look at artificial intelligence—its creative limitations, its impact on originality, and the risk of technology reshaping entire industries. Shifting gears, the hosts turn to conservative activist Brilyn Hollyhand, questioning his sudden rise and drawing comparisons to the kind of branding that blurs authenticity in politics. The discussion then moves into public art, as the group reacts to a series of controversial celebrity statues, exploring how tributes can sometimes drift into unintentional parody.

It's Dodgers Night in LA! Mark Thompson is in studio co-hosting with Tim Conway Jr. Alex Stone is on the phone to talk about Tilly Norwood, the A.I. Hollywood actress causing a stir in Tinseltown. She looks incredibly real, but unlike any other aspiring actress with an Instagram account and Facebook page, "Tilly" is totally computer generated – and Hollywood agents are interested. It's also causing fresh issues for the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will be performing at the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show next year, and some people aren't happy about that. Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area will be hosting the Super Bowl LX next year, and some locals don't want it – including the mayor.

The hour wraps with another round of Terror in the Skies, featuring a meltdown by sunburned sisters kicked off a flight, a near-miss at LAX, and why the smell of burning rubber midair is more than a bad omen.

In today's Daily Fix:Hollywood's major performers' union, SAG-AFTRA, has responded to an AI-generated 'actress,' named Tilly Norwood, who is seeking representation at a talent agency. Tilly Norwood is the creation of Eline Van der Velden, founder of AI production company Particle 6. Van der Velden claims several agencies have expressed interest, but Hollywood actors and the SAG-AFTRA union have expressed shock that a talent agency would consider signing software that may end up competing with real actors for jobs. In other news, Terminator 2D: No Fate has been delayed to November.

For many actors, commercials are a vital part of building and sustaining a career. But the world of commercial casting can sometimes feel like a mystery. There are differences from theatrical casting, and the skills that book a commercial aren't always the same ones that land a film or television role. To help break it all down, we're joined by highly regarded casting director Alyson Horn. Alyson is the founder of AHC Casting in Los Angeles. She explains how commercial casting really works, why the skills that book commercials aren't always the same ones that land film and TV roles, and the most common misconceptions about commercial work that actors bring into the audition room. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging. Today: Fran Drescher. You might know her as Fran Fine, the star of the hit 1990s TV show The Nanny. After a bout with uterine cancer in her early 40s, she started Cancer Schmancer: a non-profit focused on prevention, early detection, and policy change. More recently, she took on a new role: President of SAG-AFTRA, the union she's been a member of for decades. Fran Drescher is now 67. She's here to talk to us about how she has reinvented herself—and her industry—as she ages.

Today's Guest Laura Orrico is a versatile SAG-AFTRA actress known for her impeccable comedic timing and dramatic range, which have made her a sought-after talent in the industry. With work spanning both film and television, she has built an impressive career with notable roles on hit shows such as CBS's Kevin Can Wait, The King of Queens, CSI: Miami, FOX's That '70s Show, and That Show Tonight. Laura was also a series regular on Frank TV on TBS, where her sharp wit was seen nationwide. Her work extends beyond television, with recent film credits including The Buddy Cop (2024), God's Fool (2020), and Brennan (2016), seen in theaters and on Netflix and Amazon. Her comedic talents gained fame on the internet, as her self-produced videos went viral, earning her featured status across multiple platforms. Her most successful internet sketch was developed by legendary director David Zucker (Airplane!, Naked Gun, etc.), in which she was aged 40 years for the role. In addition to her acting career, Laura is the founder of Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC, a highly respected PR firm that represents high-profile clients across the country. Her public relations expertise gives her a unique understanding of the industry, both in front of and behind the camera, and draws attention to any project she is a part of. Behind the scenes, Laura's personal story of resilience and perseverance shapes her deeply authentic performances. After the loss of her father at a young age, becoming a widow at 38, and now caring for her mother with MS and Parkinson's, Laura brings raw, emotional depth to her characters. A true professional, Laura is known for being a “one-take wonder” and impressing directors with her preparation and dedication. She continues to power through successfully while handling so much and cementing her place as a dynamic talent in Hollywood and beyond. Her journey has also made her a compelling voice in the media, leading to interviews like her recent appearance on PBS's nationally syndicated The Whitney Reynolds Show, where she shared her story of strength, reinvention, and finding purpose through adversity. Just recently, Laura decided to go public across her social media platforms with her journey of pursuing IVF solo using her late husband's sperm. Her story has gained a lot of traction and support from women and even men! Laura has been featured in major publications including Vanity Fair, Deadline Hollywood, USA Today, Daily Mail, Forbes, Hollywood.com, has made recurring appearances on NTD News, and guested on TV shows such as Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld and Strictly Speaking with Bob Frantz. Her contributions to the industry continue to be recognized on television, radio shows, and podcasts across the country.

  The conference is coming up on October 16th For more information and to purchase tickets to TechTainment™: https://www.laipla.net/techtainment-2025/ Being a professor in the age of AI — particularly generative AI — is both exciting and deeply challenging. As educators, we recognize that technology is evolving at a pace with which, even seasoned technologists struggle to keep up. Students are increasingly tempted to let AI do the thinking for them, believing they're being efficient when, in fact, they may be shortcutting the deeper learning process. Using AI tools like ChatGPT should not be about replacing critical thought or original research. It's about enhancing the learning journey, not skipping it. While these tools can assist in discovery, ideation, and even structure, they cannot substitute the human insights that come from struggle, context, collaboration, and lived experience. That's why I challenge my students to think critically: What happens when the sources AI provides don't match course materials? What if AI misses the nuances, the legal precedents, or the emerging ethics in a topic? The danger is not just in misinformation — it's in the erosion of personal accountability and intellectual depth. This exact tension — between innovation and integrity — is what makes events like TechTainment™ so necessary. The intersection of technology, entertainment, and the law is a rapidly evolving space filled with complex and often controversial issues.  There are a multitude of issues at the intersection of these areas. I am going to name a few, but my guest today has knowledge and depth that will convince you not to miss the upcoming 1-day TechTainment™ event. So, here goes: 1. Intellectual Property (IP) Challenges Piracy & Copyright Infringement  Digital content is frequently shared illegally through unauthorized streaming and file-sharing platforms, causing major revenue losses. AI-Generated Content  Legal ownership of AI-created art, music, or video remains uncertain. If AI uses copyrighted inputs to generate new outputs, is the result derivative, transformative, or something else entirely? Remixes, Memes & Fair Use  Social media culture thrives on remixing existing works. However, the boundaries of ‘fair use' are unclear, leaving creators legally vulnerable and platforms uncertain about enforcement. 2. AI and Deepfakes Fake Celebrity Content  Deepfakes and voice cloning enable unauthorized, misleading, or defamatory representations of public figures—often used in fake ads, explicit content, or political misinformation. Consent & Image Rights  There's a growing legal and ethical concern over the use of a person's likeness, voice, or performance without their consent, especially in AI-generated content. Legal Lag  The rapid advancement of generative AI and deepfake technologies has outpaced existing laws, creating enforcement gaps and legislative uncertainty. 3. Streaming & Distribution Rights Global Licensing Issues  Rights to distribute content differ by region. Streaming platforms face legal complexity in acquiring and managing these rights across jurisdictions. ·       Residuals & Fair Pay  Creatives (writers, actors, directors) are demanding transparent compensation models for streamed content. This has led to major labor actions (e.g., 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes). ·       Windowing Conflicts  Studios and platforms debate how long content should remain exclusive to one service before being released elsewhere — impacting revenue models and consumer access. 4. Content Moderation & Censorship Platform Liability  Platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch must balance free expression with moderating harmful content. Legal responsibility for user-generated content remains a contentious issue. Freedom of Speech vs. Harmful Content  Legal systems struggle to balance free speech rights with the need to curb misinformation, hate speech, and online harassment. Government Regulations  Laws differ by region 5. Privacy & Surveillance ·       Data Collection  Entertainment platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube gather extensive user data (viewing habits, preferences, location, device usage). The ways this data is analyzed, monetized, or shared with third parties remain legally ambiguous and often undisclosed. ·       Facial Recognition & Biometrics  Increasing use of biometric technologies in entertainment spaces—such as facial recognition at concerts, stadiums, and theme parks—raises major privacy concerns. There's a lack of clear legal guidelines around consent, storage, and misuse of biometric data. ·       Children's Privacy  Platforms aimed at children must comply with strict regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protections 6. Content Ownership in the Creator Economy Platform vs. Creator Control: Platforms like YouTube, TikTok and others often control monetization and visibility algorithms, limiting creator autonomy. Copyright Takedowns & Abuse 7. NFTs & Digital Ownership ·       Fraud & Scams Copyright Confusion Emerging Legal Areas to Watch Generative AI law Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality Laws  Content moderation laws Digital labor rights Smart contracts & blockchain in entertainment  The primary issues revolve around intellectual property rights, data privacy, platform regulation, AI ethics, and compensation for creative labor. As technology outpaces regulation, legal systems are constantly playing catch-up — often with high-stakes consequences for creators, companies, and consumers. It's about thought leadership and responsible innovation. It's about ensuring that human value — ethical reasoning, creative spark, legal foresight — isn't lost in the digital noise. Our country is at a crossroads, and events like TechTainment™ are more than just conferences — they are forums for the future. As educators, professionals, and creators, our job is not to reject AI but to ensure we don't outsource our judgment, our integrity, or our creativity. Let AI and other innovative technology be tools — but let us be the ones who drive its purpose.

Podcasting has never offered more ways to grow your career and your income. Actor, comedian and impressionist Amy Phillips shares how she built her hit show, Drama Darling: A Real Housewives Comedy Podcast, from the ground up. She taught herself production, built an audience without a network and created multiple revenue streams from her home studio. Amy also explains how her podcast became a SAG-AFTRA signatory, making it possible for independent podcasters to apply their earnings toward union health and retirement benefits. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.

“If it's stock music, unless you're paying, like, some libraries have exclusivity, but most of them don't. So that's what I always say to clients, like stock music. You might hear that Joe's ice cream shop also has the same music that you have. And you're Chrysler – I keep saying Chrysler, but whatever, a big brand. A good example of an audio branding that we did was the Rogers. That was huge, and when we first did that, it was for a very close friend of mine, Philippe Garneau, and Mark's brother, the astronaut, and he came to me, and he had the Rogers account. He said, ‘We want a mnemonic on the end of the spot, but we're only going to use it for three commercials.' And so they lost the business, and Rogers loved that mnemonic.” – Ted “Theo” Rosnick This episode is the second half of my conversation with music and audio director/producer Ted Rosnick, as we discuss the use of AI, especially digital voice clones, in advertising, the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the unwritten rule voice artists follow when it comes to branding.

(0:00:00) - Evolution of Music Production and AIThe second half of our conversation starts with Ted's perspective on advertising in the 21st century, and one early trend that marked a turning point. “One of the main things I remember changing a lot was when Napster came along,” he recalls. “People could download a hundred songs in an hour, and I noticed it was, all of a sudden, we were expected to do seven or eight demos, because that's what they were used to, like, pulling music down all night long and hearing their stuff.” We talk about digital studios and sound design, and how AI voice cloning has transformed the industry, including a recent commercial campaign that featured a synthetic likeness of a human actor. “We asked his permission,” Ted tells us, “and so we AI'd his voice, and it worked out really well. Nobody would know. I know the difference because I just know, but you wouldn't know the difference.”(0:10:42) - The Impact of AI on CreativityTed tells us about his experience with AI-assisted brainstorming and its limitations as a content writer. “I've written them and then thrown them into ChatGTP,” he explains, “and then said, ‘Can you just make it a little warmer?' But the truth of the matter is that I've always gone back to my own, because I don't think it's as warm as or as good as what's in here, you know.” We discuss what sets human and AI creativity apart, and how what makes a work human often comes down to the very things AI would try to fix. “A lot of it is that human subtleties are mistakes,” he tells us. “When you start tearing it down for the mix, you hear all sorts of mistakes. They're not glaring mistakes that are going to ruin it, but they're not perfect, and that's what makes it human. And that's what makes it great.”(0:23:10) - The World of Audio BrandingOur conversation closes with some of Ted's most...
