Esta semana en La Descarga: Spotify está construyendo una nueva herramienta para la seguridad de marca, Google Podcasts eliminó un episodio bajo condiciones sospechosas y Apple nos aconseja sobre su búsqueda de podcasts. Ha sido una semana estresante para Acast. Comencemos con lo positivo. Este lunes, Acast anunció un desfile global llamado Audio Pride Parade, celebrando el Mes del Orgullo para la comunidad LGBTQIA+ a través de una serie de podcasts en vivo en las principales ciudades del mundo. La gerente sénior de socios, Alexandria Fuller, dijo: “Con el aumento de los crímenes de odio contra las personas LGBTQIA+, siempre nos preguntamos ‘cuándo es seguro agarrar alguien de la mano’. Pero hay seguridad en los números en Pride [parade], y es realmente liberador.” El blog sincero de Fuller sobre la importancia de celebrar lo queer fue socavado la mañana siguiente. El martes, Acast anunció una asociación con Spring para proporcionar opciones de mercancía para los productores que alojan con Acast, incluido el servicio llamado Mint On Demand NFT de Spring. Según Hot Pod, la mayoría de los 11 podcasts del programa piloto han optado por no utilizar Mint on Demand. También el martes, se publicaron varios tweets que proporcionan evidencia de que Acast está extrayendo datos de las direcciones de correo electrónico metidas en las fuentes RSS de los podcasts para enviar un correo electrónico publicitario que sugiere que sería mejor que el podcaster se cambiara a Acast. Hasta ahora, los podcasters de Podbean, Captivate, Blubrry y Transistor han informado que han sido objeto de este agresivo impulso de marketing. El cofundador de Transistor, Justin Jackson, ha denunciado a Acast a su proveedor de correo electrónico, quien, según Jackson, dijo que esta estrategia está en contra de sus términos de servicio. Jackson, que anteriormente trabajaba para una empresa de correo electrónico, considera que los correos electrónicos de Acast son ilegales según la ley canadiense y ha presentado una queja formal ante el brazo gubernamental creado para hacer cumplir la Ley (conocido como CASL) Una portavoz de Acast le dijo a Podnews que los emails son “... parte de nuestra estrategia de marketing, que actualmente no planeamos cambiar”. En Sounds Profitable, nuestros objetivos son levantar y mejorar toda la industria. Según las acciones y la respuesta de Acast, no creemos que compartan esos objetivos. Hasta que Acast suspenda estas prácticas, ya no cubriremos Acast en Sounds Profitable o en La Descarga. Este miércoles, Integral Ad Sciences anunció un proyecto conjunto con Spotify para desarrollar una nueva herramienta de seguridad de marca de terceras partes para anunciantes de podcasts, y UM Worldwide se inscribió para ser la primera compañía en la fila para realizar una prueba del proyecto. Según el comunicado de prensa: “Las empresas se embarcarán en un análisis riguroso para ayudar a la industria a comprender las herramientas y los recursos necesarios para brindar seguridad de marca de manera efectiva en podcasting y audio digital en general”. Una abrumadora mayoría de los podcasts operan en RSS fuera del control de Spotify, por lo que este producto es exclusivamente publicidad de seguridad de marca para el contenido al que Spotify vende anuncios en su propia plataforma. El comunicado de prensa dice: “En última instancia, las empresas tienen la intención de crear la primera herramienta de informes de idoneidad y seguridad de marca de terceras partes de la industria para brindar más transparencia y confianza a la publicidad de podcasts”. Más adelante en el comunicado dice: “En el futuro, los resultados se utilizarán para crear una herramienta de idoneidad y seguridad de la marca, la primera en su tipo, para ayudar en la planificación, gestión e informes de campañas”. Spotify no es ajeno a generar controversia cuando coquetea con esa seguridad, ya sea por las acciones de sus podcasteros o el inminente regreso de los anuncios políticos. La seguridad de la marca está de moda en este momento, pero también lo está Spotify anunciando cosas que no se realizan. ¿Deberíamos contener la respiración y contar? De acuerdo con las historias para el mes del Orgullo: Google ha proporcionado una historia de advertencia sobre las consecuencias inesperadas del uso de sistema s automatizados para filtrar contenido inapropiado. El martes, el juego de mesa RPG Podcast: Realms of Peril and Glory publicó una captura de pantalla de su episodio más reciente que muestra un error en Google Podcasts que indica que el contenido no está disponible para personas menores de 18 años. Como informó Podnews en octubre del año pasado, esto no es necesariamente nuevo. Google Podcasts, en un esfuerzo por cumplir con algunas leyes en Europa y el Reino Unido que abordan el acceso de niños a contenido inapropiado para su edad, comenzó a restringir la visibilidad de ciertos podcasts para usuarios con cuentas menores de edad o usuarios que no iniciaron sesión en una cuenta de Google mientras intentaron acceder el podcast. Esta ocurrencia particular es notable, ya que el episodio no solo está bloqueado para los usuarios que no han iniciado sesión en Google Podc asts. A partir del miércoles, era inaccesible para todos en Google Podcasts. Según un tweet original de RPG: “No hay nada adulto en este episodio. La única diferencia con nuestros otros episodios es la palabra lesbiana en el título”. El episodio perdido de RPG fue el primero de una campaña temática del mes del Orgullo titulada Spooky Sword Lesbians. La descripción también menciona el juego de rol de mesa independiente Thirsty Sword Lesbians que usó para hacer el espectáculo. La descripción oficial del juego lo describe como "un juego de rol para contar historias queer con amigos". Evil Hat Productions, el distribuidor del juego, lo cataloga como apropiado para mayores de 13 años. Este desafortunado incidente trae recuerdos de problemas similares en YouTube, en el que Google restringe que los videos sean tendencia si se consideran contenido para mayores de 18 años. En los últimos años, los creadores de contenido LGBTQIA+ han informado ampliamente que palabras básicas como "trans" o "gay" se marcan automáticamente como adultos, independientemente del contenido del video. A pesar de la respuesta inevitable de Google a este problema, se erige como una advertencia para todas las empresas de podcasting: la tecnología de automatización es una herramienta maravillosa, pero también es propensa a desarrollar prejuicios no deseados en función de sus creadores y su capacitación. Consecuencias no deseadas, como eliminar el primer episodio de un podcast sobre personajes homosexuales a mitad del mes dedicado a conmemorar el nacimiento del movimiento por los derechos de los homosexuales en los Estados Unidos. Spotify se ha ido de compras otra vez. Según Ingrid Lunden de Tech Crunch el lunes, Spotify está comprando Sonantic, la compañía detrás de la tecnología de síntesis de voz de IA que fue utilizada para darle la voz al personaje de Val Kilmer en el éxito Top Gun: Maverick. Las voces de IA son lo último en el entretenimiento, incluyendo la asociación de Disney con Respeech para sintetizar versiones más jóvenes de Mark Hamill y James Earl Jones para la series del Mandalorian y Obi Wan. Sin embargo, Spotify señala una visión más amplia para la tecnología de Sonantic. La publicación del blog citada por Lunden insinúa que se usará por toda la aplicación de Spotify, no solo en una aplicación específica de voz sintética. Citando el articulo: “Un ejemplo que da Spotify de cómo podría usar la tecnología es usar voces de IA para brindar más recomendaciones y descripciones basadas en audio a los usuarios que no miran sus pantallas, por ejemplo, para aquellos que conducen automóviles o escuchen mientras realizan otras actividades sin poder mirar la pantalla”. Parece que Spotify podría tener la meta de construir su propia versión de Siri o Alexa más que desarrollar podcasteros sintéticos. Por lo menos, todavía no. --- Una vez más, les traemos noticias útiles directamente de Apple. El miércoles, Apple publicó una guía en el sitio de web Apple Podcasts for Creators titulada simplemente "Search on Apple Podcasts". Mientras la información que contiene es más directamente útil para los creadores de podcasts que para la industria en general, es importante comprender los aspectos prácticos de cómo funcionan estas cosas básicas. Especialmente cuando las grandes empresas como Apple voluntariamente dan un paso al frente para ser más transparentes sobre los sistemas que generalmente se mantienen encerrados en secreto por temor a que los malos actores exploten la transparencia para obtener ganancias. “Los más oyentes que se involucren con tus nuevos programas y episodios, lo mejor será la clasificación para los términos de búsqueda relevantes, así que asegúrese de promocionar sus programas y episodios en Apple Podcasts cuando se lancen. Asegúrate de que el nombre de tu canal, los títulos de los programas y los títulos de los episodios sean específicos y únicos para que puedan aparecer en búsquedas relevantes. Sea distintivo y evite usar nombres que sean demasiado genéricos o demasiado similares a programas existentes. Evite usar emojis y títulos de episodios repetidos”. Algunos de esto aspectos se han conocido a partir de declaraciones públicas de los empleados de Apple (las frustraciones de Apple con las personas que ponen cosas repetitivas como números de episodios en los títulos ha sido un asunto de larga duración). Esto podría conducir a cambios en la forma en que las redes de podcasts se presentan en el futuro ahora que la industria se ha dado cuenta de que los nombres de los canales son una fuente potencial de la optimización de motores de búsqueda además de los nombres de podcasts individuales. Haga sus apuestas sobre qué red será la primera en incluir un eslogan impactante en el nombre de su canal. La Descarga es una producción de Sounds Profitable.

This week on The Download: Spotify’s building a new brand safety tool, Google Podcast removed an episode under suspicious conditions, and Apple tells us how their podcast search works. It’s been a rollercoaster of a week for Acast news. Let’s start with the positive. This Monday Acast announced a global Audio Pride Parade, celebrating Pride month for the LGBTQIA+ community via a series of podcast live shows in major cities across the world. Senior Partner Manager Alexandria Fuller said: “It’s also one day where you feel safe to be yourself. With hate crimes against LGBTQIA+ people on the rise, we’re always wondering when it’s safe to hold hands. But there’s safety in numbers at Pride, and it’s really freeing.” Fuller’s heartfelt blog about the importance of celebrating queerness was undercut the next morning. Tuesday Acast announced a partnership with Spring to provide on-demand merch options for producers hosting on Acast, including Spring’s so-called Mint on Demand NFT service. According to Hot Pod, most of the 11 podcasts in the pilot program have elected to not use Mint on Demand. Also on Tuesday, multiple tweets were posted providing evidence Acast is data mining email addresses tucked in the RSS feeds of podcasts to send an advertisement email suggesting the podcaster would be better off switching to Acast. So far podcasters on Podbean, Captivate, Blubrry, and Transistor have reported being targeted by this aggressive marketing push. Transistor co-founder Justin Jackson has reported Acast to their email service provider, who Jackson reports have said this cold-calling approach is against their terms of service. Jackson - who previously worked for an email company - considers the Acast emails to be illegal under Canadian law and has filed a formal complaint under the government arm created to enforce Canada’s Anti Spam Law (also know as CASL). A spokesperson for Acast told Podnews the emails targeting podcast of competitor hosting services are “... part of our continuing marketing strategy, which we don’t currently plan to change.” At Sounds Profitable, our goals are to lift up and improve the entire industry. Based on the actions and response from Acast, we do not feel like they share those goals. Until Acast discontinues these practices, we will no longer be covering Acast in Sounds Profitable or The Download. --- This Wednesday Integral Ad Sciences announced a joint project with Spotify to develop a new third-party brand safety tool for podcast advertisers, with UM Worldwide signed on to be the first company in line to stress-test the project. From the press release: “The companies will embark on a rigorous analysis to help the industry understand the tools and resources necessary to effectively deliver brand safety in podcasting and digital audio writ large.” Given IAS already has these tools for both the web and apps, we can infer this announcement refers to a net-new production. An overwhelming majority of podcasting operates on RSS outside of Spotify’s control, so this product is exclusively a brand safety play for content Spotify sells ads to on their own platform. From the beginning of the press release: “Ultimately, the firms intend to create the industry's first third-party brand safety and suitability reporting tool to bring more transparency and confidence to podcast advertising.” And then, later on: “In the future, the results will be used to create a first-of-its-kind brand safety and suitability tool to aid in campaign planning, management, and reporting.” Spotify is no stranger to courting controversy when flirting with that safety, be it the actions of acerbic talent or the upcoming return of political ads. Brand safety is hot right now, but so is Spotify announcing things that don’t go live. Should we hold our breath? In keeping with Pride month-adjacent stories: Google has provided a cautionary tale in the unexpected consequences of using automated systems to filter inappropriate content. On Tuesday the tabletop roleplaying game actual play podcast RPG: Realms of Peril and Glory posted a screenshot of their newest episode showing an error on Google Podcasts indicating the content is unavailable for people under the age of 18. As Podnews covered in October of last year, this is not necessarily new. Google Podcasts, in an effort to remain in compliance with some laws in Europe and the UK addressing children accessing age-inappropriate content, began restricting certain podcasts from being visible to users with underaged accounts or users who weren’t logged into a Google account while attempting to access. This particular interest is noteworthy as the episode isn’t just blocked from users who aren’t logged in to Google Podcasts. As of Wednesday it was inaccessible to anyone on Google Podcasts. From the original tweet from RPG: “There is nothing adult in this episode. The only difference from our other episodes is the word Lesbian in the title.” RPG’s missing episode was the first of a Pride month-themed campaign titled Spooky Sword Lesbians. The description also mentions the indie tabletop roleplaying game Thirsty Sword Lesbians used to make the show. The game’s official description describes it as “a roleplaying game for telling queer stories with friends.” Evil Hat Productions, the game’s distributor, lists it as being appropriate for ages 13 and up. This unfortunate incident sparks memories of similar issues on YouTube, on which Google restricts videos from trending or getting traction in the recommendation algorithm if they’re deemed 18+. In recent years LGBTQIA+ content creators have widely reported basic words such as ‘trans’ or ‘gay’ are automatically flagged as adult, regardless of the video’s content. Regardless of Google’s inevitable response to this issue, it stands as a cautionary tale to all podcasting companies: automation technology is a wonderful tool but it is also prone to developing unintended biases based on its creators and training. Unintended consequences such as removing the first episode of a podcast about gay characters halfway through the month dedicated to commemorating the birth of the gay rights movement in the United States. Spotify’s gone shopping again. According to Tech Crunch’s Ingrid Lunden on Monday, Spotify is purchasing Sonantic, the company behind the AI speech synthesizing tech used to voice Val Kilmer’s character in Top Gun: Maverick. While AI voices are the new hotness in entertainment, including Disney’s partnership with Respeech to synthesize younger versions of Mark Hamill and James Earl Jones for The Mandalorian and Obi Wan, Spotify hints at more grounded visions for Sonantic’s tech. The blog post cited by Lunden hints at it being used across Spotify, not in one specific application of a synthetic voice. “One example that Spotify gives of how it might use the tech is to use AI voices to bring more audio-based recommendations and descriptions to users who are not looking at their screens — for example, for those driving cars or listening while doing other activities and not able to look at a screen.” It seems Spotify might be aiming at constructing their own version of Siri or Alexa moreso than dipping their toes into synthetic podcasters. At least, not yet. Once again, we bring you useful news directly from Apple. On Wednesday Apple posted a guide on the Apple Podcasts for Creators website simply titled “Search on Apple Podcasts.” While the information contained therein is more directly useful for podcast creators more so than the wider industry, it’s important to understand the nuts and bolts of how such basic things work. Especially when large companies like Apple voluntarily step up to the plate to be more transparent about systems usually kept locked in secrecy for fear of bad actors exploiting the transparency for gain. “The more listeners engage with your new shows and episodes, the higher they will rank for relevant search terms, so make sure to promote your shows and episodes on Apple Podcasts when they launch. Make sure your channel name, show titles, and episode titles are specific and unique so they may appear in relevant searches. Be distinctive and avoid using names that are too generic or too similar to existing shows. Avoid using emojis and repeated episode titles.” While aspects of these two paragraphs have been known from public statements by Apple employees - Apple’s frustrations with people putting repetitive things like episode numbers in titles has been a long-running affair - now they’re distilled into one official location where newer producers are likely to find concrete proof Apple hates emojis. That said, this might lead to changes in how podcast networks present themselves in future now that the industry has been made aware Channel names are a potential source of SEO in addition to individual podcast names. Place your bets on which network will be the first to work a punchy tagline into their Channel name. The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis.

In der Nachmittagsfolge begrüßen wir heute in der Rubrik “investments & Exits” Jenny Dreier, Investment Manager bei EQT Ventures. Jenny hat die Übernahmen von LemonOne und Sonantic besprochen: Der schwedische Musik-Streaming-Dienst Spotify gab gestern eine weitere Akquisition bekannt: Das Tex-to-Speech Unternehmen Sonantic. Die Sprachplattform von Sonantic kann realistische Stimmen aus Textvorgaben erzeugen. So hat sie zum Beispiel Val Kilmers Stimme in Top Gun Maverick simuliert, da der Schauspieler dies aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr kann. Spotify baut mit der Akquisition die eigene Reichweite im Bereich Audiotechnologie aus und öffnet nicht nur die Tür für den Aufbau weiterer Funktionen auf Spotify selbst, sondern auch für andere potenzielle Geschäftsmöglichkeiten. Das italienische Unternehmen Boom, eine Software-as-a-Service-Lösung für die Produktion, Bearbeitung und Verwaltung von Bild- und Videomaterial, übernimmt die Berliner Vermittlungsplattform für Fotografinnen und Fotografen Lemon One. LemonOne wurde 2017 von Maximilian Schwahn, Lorenz Marquardt und Timur Kayaci gegründet und beliefert mittlerweile Online-Marktplätze, Immobilienagenturen und Lebensmittellieferanten mit maßgeschneiderten visuellen Inhalten für ihre digitale Präsenz. Das in Mailand ansässige Unternehmen BOOM wurde mit dem Ziel gegründet, die Welt des visuellen Inhaltsmanagements durch den Einsatz von Technologie zu verändern. Gemeinsam mit dem Team von LemonOne, will Boom durch die Akquisition seinen wachsenden Kundenstamm betreuen und sich dank dessen Expertise auf den Ausbau seiner Technologie- und Produktsparte konzentrieren.

Infosys is setting up four more delivery centres in India's tier-2 cities to allow staff to work closer to their hometowns, and tap a wider talent base, Economic Times reports, citing Krishnamurthy Shankar, the IT services company's head of human resources. Sequoia raises its largest India fund yet. And Spotify adds a voice AI team and tech via an acquisition. Notes: Infosys is setting up four more delivery centres in India's tier-2 cities to allow staff to work closer to their hometowns, and tap a wider talent base, Economic Times reports, citing Krishnamurthy Shankar, the IT services company's head of human resources. These centres will be 1000-seaters and will be ready by the end of the next fiscal quarter, Shankar told ET. The company, which has nearly 40 percent of its staff as women, is particularly focusing on getting women to come back, Shankar told ET, after many left during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sequoia India and Sequoia Southeast Asia have collectively raised $2.85 billion across a set of funds, including India venture and growth funds and an $850 million Southeast Asian fund — Sequoia's first dedicated fund for the region, the venture capital firm said in a blog post. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sequoia as a global firm, 16 years in India, and 10 in Southeast Asia. The region's startup ecosystem has grown rapidly in the last decade, thanks to the acceleration of digital adoption and rising consumer incomes. Last year, India emerged as the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, after the US and China. Southeast Asia, meanwhile, is on track to becoming a $1 trillion digital economy by 2030, the VC firm notes in its blog post. Spotify is acquiring Sonantic, the UK-based voice AI company behind the tech that simulated actor Val Kilmer's voice in the Hollywood blockbuster Top Gun Maverick, TechCrunch reports. “We're really excited about the potential to bring Sonantic's AI voice technology onto the Spotify platform and create new experiences for our users,” Ziad Sultan, Spotify's Vice President of Personalisation, said in a blogpost. “This integration will enable us to engage users in a new and even more personalised way,” Ziad added. At Spotify, we've identified several potential opportunities for text-to-speech capabilities across our platform, and we believe that over the long term, high-quality voice will be important to growing our share of listening. For example, this voice technology could allow us to give context to users about upcoming recommendations when they aren't looking at their screens, the company said in the blog post. And here's the Val Kilmer connection. In real life, the actor is unable to speak as he did in the past as a result of throat cancer. Therefore, for the Top Gun sequel, in which he reprised his role as a foil (and now friend) to Tom Cruise, his condition, and the simulated voice Sonantic created, were both written into the plot of the film, TechCrunch explains.

Lightyear claims its EV with integrated solar panels can run for months without being plugged in. Spotify plans to make audiobooks the third pillar of its business while also acquiring the AI voice platform Sonantic. What could these two mean for the future of Spotfiy's business? The Washington Post reports Google placed engineer Blake Lemoine on paid leave after he broke its confidentiality policies. Blake made a social media post with transcripts with LaMDA the AI chatbot he was working with while also declaring it to be a sentient personality.

Thanks to the advance of deepfake technology, it's becoming easier to clone peoples' voices. Some uses of the tech, like creating voice-overs to fill in gaps in Roadrunner, the documentary about Anthony Bourdain released this past summer, are harmless (though even the ethics of this move were hotly debated when the film came out). In other cases, though, deepfaked voices are being used for ends that are very clearly nefarious—like stealing millions of dollars. An article published last week by Forbes revealed that a group of cybercriminals in the United Arab Emirates used deepfake technology as part of a bank heist that transferred a total of $35 million out of the country and into accounts all over the world. Money Heist, Voice Edition All you need to make a fake version of someone's voice is a recording of that person speaking. As with any machine learning system whose output improves based on the quantity and quality of its input data, a deepfaked voice will sound more like the real thing if there are more recordings for the system to learn from. In this case, criminals used deepfake software to recreate the voice of an executive at a large company (details around the company, the software used, and the recordings to train said software don't appear to be available). They then placed phone calls to a bank manager with whom the executive had a pre-existing relationship, meaning the bank manager knew the executive's voice. The impersonators also sent forged emails to the bank manager confirming details of the requested transactions. Between the emails and the familiar voice, when the executive asked the manager to authorize transfer of millions of dollars between accounts, the manager saw no problem with going ahead and doing so. The fraud took place in January 2020, but a relevant court document was just filed in the US last week. Officials in the UAE are asking investigators in the US for help tracing $400,000 of the stolen money that went to US bank accounts at Centennial Bank. Our Voices, Our Selves The old-fashioned way (“old” in this context meaning before machine learning was as ubiquitous as it is today) to make a fake human voice was to record a real human voice, split that recording into many distinct syllables of speech, then paste those syllables together in countless permutations to form the words you wanted the voice to say. It was tedious and yielded a voice that didn't sound at all realistic. It's easy to differentiate the voices of people close to us, and to recognize famous voices—but we don't often think through the many components that contribute to making a voice unique. There's the timbre and pitch, which refer to where a voice falls on a span of notes from low to high. There's the cadence, which is the speaker's rhythm and variations in pitch and emphasis on different words or parts of a sentence. There's pronunciation, and quirks like regional accents or lisps. In short, our voices are wholly unique—which makes it all the more creepy that they're becoming easier to synthetically recreate. Fake Voices to Come Is the UAE bank heist a harbinger of crimes to come? Unfortunately, the answer is very likely yes. It's not the first such attempt, but it's the first to succeed at stealing such a large sum of money using a deepfaked voice. In 2019 a group of criminals faked the voice of a UK-based energy firm's CEO to have $243,000 transferred to a Hungarian bank account. Many different versions of audio deepfake software are already commercially available, including versions from companies like Lyrebird (which needs just a one-minute recording to create a fake voice, albeit slightly halting and robot-like), Descript, Sonantic, and Veritone, to name just a few. These companies intend their products to be used for good, and some positive use cases certainly do exist; people with speech disabilities or paralysis could use the software to communicate with those around them, for example. Veritone is marketing its ...

President Biden has said the U.S. will stick to the August 31 deadline to evacuate from Afghanistan despite calls to stay longer. Biden said there has been over 70,000 evaluations since August 14 and also cited threats from groups like ISIS-K as reasons to not extend the timeline. While the deadline seems firm, Biden said it all depends on the actions of the Taliban. Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for the latest on the race to get out before the end of the month. Next, the recall election of CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is under way with a deadline of September 14 for mail-in ballots. Recent polls have shown that the recall is closer to passing than Democrats would like and a lot of it comes down to voter enthusiasm. Without Trump as a foil are enough Democrats paying attention and energized to vote to defeat the recall? David Siders, national political correspondent at Politico, joins us for more. Finally, after throat cancer surgery in 2015 left actor Val Kilmer without his natural voice he turned to UK-based software firm Sonantic for help. With audio from old movies and artificial intelligence, they were able to digitally restore his voice. While in this case the technology was used for a benefit, there are some critics that say it could be misused and affect other voice actors. Dalvin Brown, innovations reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for how AI gave Val Kilmer his voice back.

In this week's show, Justin is back from Maui and joins Shawn, Broadway and Andy telling us about his trip and getting stuck in Vegas. How has gaming changed in Vegas; it was a bit of a surprise. Social Media and viral videos are discussed with the talk looking at how some have chosen to take a step back from Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and other avenues while still finding Reddit a place for connecting. Shawn shares about Apollo and why he uses this. The big takeaway for Shawn that stepped away from Facebook was realizing the goal of creating content should be a fun experience but for the creator not to appease others. The recent news from Apple to help locate exploited children and illegal content on accounts is discussed. The recent film documentary about the late Anthony Bourdain has the guys talk about AI recreating his voice for a segment of the film. Val Kilmer recently connected with a company to recreate his voice, although not used in the documentary Val, it opens the idea of using AI for Instruction by familiar voices.
