Rajiv Pant thinks of AI as an Iron Man suit for the mind. Something you put on. That you fuse with. That takes you to greater heights — but could also make you incredibly dizzy and be very dangerous if you, the human, don't stay in control of it.Rajiv sees successful collaboration with AI as a “synthesis.” And to that end, he's building a series of skills and methodologies for synthesis engineering, coding, writing and project management. In this episode, Rajiv explains why synthesis engineering is a kind of middle ground between vibe coding and agentic engineering. It's a method for human-AI collaboration that helps builders go faster while not falling into the trap of letting AI do the things we humans ought to own. i.e. The architecture. The judgment. The thinking and learning. Rajiv is an engineering and product leader with deep experience in media. He's held senior roles at the Wall Street Journal, Hearst, and the New York Times (where he and I first met). Today he's the president of Flatiron Software. Rajiv has open-sourced all of his Synthesis methodologies and he and I also discuss why open source is so important as we increasingly turn to AI to sharpen our thinking. Can we really trust a system we don't understand? Would Tony Stark have trusted his suit if he didn't know how it was built? Chapters:(00:00) - Iron Man suit for the mind (02:11) - What goes wrong when you vibe code into production (04:20) - What synthesis coding looks like hands on keyboard (05:40) - What AI code slop looks like (08:30) - The unexpected joy of managing a team of agents (11:00) - Using AI as a thinking partner without outsourcing your thinking (15:30) - How a non-programmer built a better version of his own software (18:15) - Is your use of AI making you dumber?

Today our hosts talk about their favorite off-label uses for pedals: an Expression Ramper as an expression splitter, a trereo overdrive pedal as a lofi tape machine, a pedal with perfectly spaced knobs as a phone holder, etc. They take calls and some comments from the Discord, all focused around pedal usage that goes beyond the marketing and expectations of the user interface into unexpected sonic corners.

The Integrated Tactician: The Unified Field of Power 00:22:10 Takeaways Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire (How to Conquer the World Book 1) By Peter Hollins https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRVW5PNH Power bends to those who understand people, timing, and bold action. Julius Caesar mastered all three. Julius Caesar did not simply rise to power. He engineered it. In an age of political chaos, brutal warfare, and fragile alliances, Caesar transformed himself from an indebted aristocrat into the most powerful man in the Roman world. His story is not just about conquest, but about strategy, psychology, and the rare ability to bend events toward your will. This concise mini-book explores the life of one of history's most formidable figures through the lens of the qualities that made his rise possible. Caesar was not merely lucky, nor was he simply a brilliant general. His dominance came from a combination of traits that, when used together, made him nearly unstoppable. You will see how these traits shaped his victories in Gaul, his defiance of the Roman Senate, and his dramatic march across the Rubicon that changed history forever. Inside, you'll discover: • How Caesar built loyalty that made soldiers follow him across impossible campaigns • The political instincts that allowed him to outmaneuver Rome's most powerful rivals • The bold risk-taking that turned dangerous gambles into legendary victories • How Caesar used storytelling and reputation to magnify his power • Why his enemies underestimated him again and again • The three core traits that formed the foundation of his extraordinary success Rather than presenting Caesar as a distant historical monument, this book reveals him as a strategist of human nature. His life offers insight into ambition, leadership, persuasion, and the calculated use of power. Part biography and part strategic study, this volume distills the most important lessons from Caesar's rise without burying them beneath dense academic detail. In just a short read, you will understand not only what Caesar did, but how he thought. Julius Caesar changed Rome forever. But more importantly, he demonstrated timeless principles of influence, courage, and decisive action. This mini-book is part of the How to Conquer the World series, which examines the individuals who reshaped history—and the traits that allowed them to do it. Study the conquerors. Understand their mindset. And discover the patterns of power that echo through history.

Today our hosts welcome Philippe Herndon of Caroline Guitar Company. He talks about their latest pedal, a self-proclaimed normie pedal called the Aaron Graves Overdrive. We talk about specific design choices, the story of its namesake, and the importance of versatility even in a fairly fundamental pedal. Plus, we get the scoop on why they use pictures instead of labels, and Philippe has a surprise for us in lieu of the traditional object talk. It's basically a two parter, so fire it up and get listening!

In this Part 2 episode of CBS Spotlight, Kim Luthy, Partner and Director of Wealth Planning at Synthesis Wealth, shares her perspective on growth, resilience, and intentional living. She discusses viewing life in “seasons,” using transitions as opportunities to reflect and realign priorities.Kim reflects on her time as a single mother, emphasizing how firm boundaries allowed her to stay focused at work while being fully present for her children. She also challenges the idea of “balance,” encouraging individuals instead to align with the priorities of their current season and protect their time.The conversation highlights her belief that money is a tool—not the source of happiness—but a way to live out values like kindness, generosity, and growth. She also credits persistence as a key driver of success, viewing challenges as lessons and encouraging others to take ownership of their path.Kim closes by emphasizing mentorship and legacy, with a passion for inspiring women to believe in themselves, claim their seat at the table, and support one another in their growth.

These days it's fashionable to have an AI story, no matter what you do. But in December 2024, Bajaj Finance took it a few steps further. Instead of calling itself "a lender investing in AI," it started to describe itself as a "FinAI company" - a category of one, which it committed to in a five-year plan to FY29. Eighteen months in, no other Indian lender is putting AI on their slides the way Bajaj Finance is. Here are some of them : 31 million voice interactions converted into data last quarter. 27 autonomous agents live, 118 more planned. 600,000 loans on a single Diwali day, up from a pre-AI ceiling of 100,000. And next Diwali, they're aiming for a million.A few years ago, the obvious answer to who would win Indian finance's AI era was the digital natives — PhonePe, CRED, the cloud-born fintechs with no call centres and zero baggage. Instead, the company that started financing two-wheelers and still runs one of India's largest outbound calling operations is out in front. The thing that looked like Bajaj's archaic legacy is turning out to be its moat.What else did Bajaj Finance have that got it here? And how long before the others get there too?Praveen is joined by Seetharaman G, Deputy Editor at The Ken, who just spent 5.5 hours on Bajaj's history for Intermission, The Ken's new longform video podcast — and Vasuta Agarwal, Chief Revenue Officer at Gnani.ai, which which provides Voice AI to enterprises.The episode works through four pieces of Bajaj's edge: the data it built around its consumer-durables network, the incentive of being a publicly listed NBFC without access to cheap deposits, the leverage of buying from a voice AI market with dozens of competing vendors, and the DNA that may not be replicable i.e the willingness to fight for every inch, sustained under one CEO since 2007.References: Intermission Ep 2 on Bajaj Finance : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhgvdo9rb0wBajaj Finance is the AI bar-raiser, not Indian fintechs:https://the-ken.com/kaching/bajaj-finance-is-the-ai-bar-raiser-not-indian-fintechs/

In 2017, four ex-Flipkart engineers made a bet to build a company that let anyone buy mutual funds directly, with no commissions or hidden fees.Nine years later, Groww is India's largest stockbroker by active clients, its most profitable consumer fintech, and the first major Y Combinator portfolio company in India to go public.Rs 1,824 crore net profit in FY25. 83% organic customer acquisition. It even paid Rs 1,340 crore in taxes to move its holding company back from Delaware to India, then listed on Indian public markets at an IPO subscribed 17 times over.Every decision looked risky at the time and obvious in retrospect.But Groww in 2026 is not Groww in 2017. The company that built trust by doing one thing exceptionally well is now building lending, wealth management, insurance, and its own AMC.Praveen sits down with Anand Kalyanaraman, finance editor of The Ken, who has tracked Groww since its earliest days, and Avinash Luthria, founder of Fiduciaries and one of eight SEBI-registered investment advisors who charges only an hourly fee. Praveen comes in with a strong prior—that Groww is one of the most consequential Indian companies of the last decade. His guests are here to disagree and add context to his claim. Anand comes in with the perspective of whether the valuation is justified, and Avinash on whether the business models and incentives that brokerage companies have so far can help them go ahead.And the question everyone discusses: can the company that won by being simple stay trusted as it becomes everything?Additional reading: https://the-ken.com/podcasts/first-principles/lalit-keshre-groww/https://the-ken.com/story/growws-ipo-pitch-we-are-more-than-a-discount-broker-investors-really-show-us/

In this episode of CBS Spotlight, the conversation features Kim Luthy, Partner and Director of Wealth Planning at Synthesis Wealth, who shares her remarkable personal and professional journey. Kim reflects on her 38‑year career in the financial industry and how life's challenges—from stepping into a caregiver role at a young age to advocating fiercely for her children during serious health crises—shaped her into a resilient leader and advisor. The discussion explores her definition of “grit,” the importance of advocacy and generosity in leadership, and how her lived experiences directly inform the way she shows up for clients, mentors others, and builds deep, trust‑based relationships within her practice.

The old way to grow as a product designer meant doing the grunt work (button variants, banner sizes, edges cases) until your instincts calibrated.In the new world, AI does the grunt work, faster and cheaper than any junior designer ever could.And the numbers reveal this crisis : UX job postings fell 73% between 2022 and 2023. Less than 5% of tech companies hire entry-level design talent.Rapid changes are afoot and we need some reorientationSo, Praveen met Jay Datta—founder of Designup, Southeast Asia's largest design conference, and 25 years in design at Deutsche Bank, Adobe, Flipkart, and Makemytrip—and Shreyas Satish, founder of Ownpath, who has spent years trying to rebuild the apprenticeship model from outside the system to discuss that question to answer a big question: how does a 22-year-old build judgement now?

What if your notation software could sing? At the top of this episode, we play a short clip, performed entirely in Dorico with NotePerformer handling the orchestra, and a plugin called Cantai rendering the baritone voice. That voice is synthesized directly from the Dorico score with minimal configuration, and it marks the arrival of something the notation world has been waiting for for a long time. Philip Rothman and David MacDonald talk with Richard deCosta, composer, software developer, and founder of Cantai and the Turing Opera Workshop, about what it took to build it. The conversation goes deep on the technology: why synthesizing the voice is fundamentally harder than synthesizing instruments, how the phonemizer works, why Cantai renders offline rather than in real time, and what it really means to build a plugin that reads a score rather than simply receiving MIDI. Richard also explains how years of frustration with the disconnect between notation and external vocal synthesis tools — from EWQL Symphonic Choirs and WordBuilder to ACE Studio and Synthesizer V — led to the central insight behind Cantai: that the lyrics were always there in the score; they just weren't being passed to the playback engine. We also dig into the ethical and business model Richard has built around the singers whose voices power Cantai. Every vocalist is contracted, paid a competitive recording fee, and receives an ongoing share of the product's profits in proportion to how much their voice is used. Cantai is already live for MuseScore Studio and Dorico, and arriving for Sibelius on May 30. The roadmap — more languages, less vibrato, Broadway and jazz styles, and a thought-provoking vision for the future of real-time vocal generation — gives us plenty to look forward to.

Eighteen months ago, Hyrox did not exist in India. Last month, 8,200 people paid Rs 9,000 each to do a sled push at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre. Attendees described the event as a “carnival”, and for several weeks, everyone was talking and proudly sharing their Hyrox timings.If you're wondering what on earth is going on, well, this episode is for you.Fitness as an event isn't new in India. Every wave of participative fitness in India solved something the previous one couldn't. Marathons gave the urban professional class a finish line and an identity. Crossfit gave them a tribe and a daily ritual. Both peaked, both retreated, both ended up circling the same thin, affluent cohort in Bengaluru and Mumbai. Now Hyrox has arrived, and in one season blown past anything either of those formats built in India. The question is whether Hyrox is the next iteration of the same product, or something fundamentally different.Then there's the business side of it. Hyrox is a premium commercial format, with revenue lines through event tickets, a global licensing model, a PUMA deal, and a middleman at every layer between the participant and the finish line. That commercial stack sits on top of a culture that markets itself on community and participation. Does that accelerate the fitness ecosystem or does it extract from it?And to find out that answer, Praveen Gopal Krishnan sits with two guests:Prasanna Akela is the cofounder of Belong, a personal training studio in Bengaluru. Before Belong, Prasanna was an early growth leader at companies like CRED, Apple, and Uber India. He's also competed at the national level in ultimate frisbee and has trained extensively in endurance and strength. He brings the operator's view: what does someone building a fitness business in India actually see when a global format like Hyrox walks in?“I've not seen this culture of people at scale wanting to get better. Everybody does their first Hyrox. Nobody's like, how do I do my second Hyrox better than my first one.”Dilip Kumar leads investments at Rainmatter*, Zerodha's health and fitness fund, which has deployed over Rs 250 crore across dozens of investments in health and fitness—including Hyrox India, Ironman, and Devil Circuit. He's also a serious endurance athlete with a 2:55 marathon personal best and a finisher at the Boston Marathon. He has publicly called Hyrox as India's “2008 IPL moment” for fitness. He came to this conversation with a declared interest and a clear conviction.“99% of the people are not intrinsically motivated. The invention of all these events kind of expanded that category — and that's where we started investing.”Prasanna is building inside the wave and Dilip is investing and betting on it. Both of them are also participants. They competed in last month's Hyrox event at Bengaluru. The episode tries to find out how long the wave is going to last—and what might happen after that.*Zerodha's perennial fund Rainmatter Capital is an investor in The Ken.This episode was hosted and produced by Praveen Gopal Krishnan.

“There is no pride in this. Kya karoon (what can I do), I'm just a delivery boy.”Every time someone raises the topic of gig economy in India, the conversation follows the same script. Side A: this is exploitation. Side B: but employment. And then everyone moves on, nothing changes, and 12 million people keep showing up every morning to deliver your groceries.This episode tries to push past that script. Sid Pai, co-founder of Bengaluru-based consulting firm UK & Co., joins Praveen and Rahel to go through a new report—India's Gig Economy: The Promise and the Paradox—based on conversations with 1,355 gig workers across Karnataka. The numbers are granular in ways you don't usually see: working hours, screen time, savings rates, and one metric borrowed from product management that turns out to be damning. You can guess which one.The question they start with i.e. “what breaks first if things continue this way?” doesn't have a clean answer. The more unsettling finding might be that 95% of gig workers report being satisfied with their income even when 52% of them have zero savings. Understanding why that contradiction exists, and what it's actually holding together, is what this episode is really about.You can see the report here.-----This episode was mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, share it with your friends, family and colleagues.

Ace chats with Lucas Forshee about his thesis on the molecule strychnine, which, despite being poisonous, was used as a stimulant for athletes in the 1904 Olympics. Lucas shares a bit about the chemical composition of strychnine, why it's such a complicated molecule, and why it's so fascinating to researchers. But Lucas's research didn't just take place in the chemistry lab: a big part of his project was developing a written history of strychnine. Tune in to hear Lucas reflect on synthesizing the humanities and science in his thesis, and how this process gave him a renewed love for writing and a desire to return to graduate school (eventually). Reed community members can read Lucas's thesis, “Strychnine: History and Synthesis,” online in the Electronic Thesis Archive: https://rdc.reed.edu/i/00b5c42f-1072-4f7e-a728-ff6cff259858 Explore more interviews with Reed College alumni on our website: reed.edu/burnyourdraft

What happened to the company that once understood India better than anyone else? For decades Hindustan Unilever has dominated kitchen pantries and bathroom cabinets across the country: Surf Excel in the laundry, Brooke Bond in the kitchen, Clinic Plus in the bathroom.  It was the undisputed gold standard of brand building in this country. Well, until it wasn't. Case in point: a couple of weeks ago, a journalist shared a chart from an HSBC report on social media.The chart listed some of HUL's biggest brands — Ponds, Lux, Rin, Lifebuoy, Kissan, Surf, Glow & Lovely, Vim, Bru — and showed where each of them stood ten years ago versus today.Turns out, most of them have barely grown, if at all. Something has shifted at the company that was once India's consumption barometer. The brands that generate genuine excitement today aren't HUL brands. More often than not, they are scrappy D2C upstarts that, on paper, shouldn't stand a chance against a behemoth like HUL.In the latest episode of Two By Two, we try to answer one simple question: Are HUL's best days behind it?Two By Two hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rahel Philipose are joined by Seetharaman G, Deputy Editor at The Ken and Sandeep Nair, co-founder of marketing consultancy firm, David and Who. Both of them see this story play out in opposite ways. And that's where it gets interesting. Tune in.

Ep. 229 (Part 2 of 2) | In part 2 of our What is Real Greatness Series podcast with Margaret Cullen, author of Quiet Strength, Margaret continues to enlighten us about equanimity: its power, its wisdom, and its practice. She relates some of the history of equanimity—first considered a supreme virtue in Stoicism, then passed on to Sufism and Judaism—and explains that throughout time, equanimity (and humility) have always been an integral part of people who have made a true difference in the world. Margaret talks about how humor can break the spell of our trance (“when we lose equanimity, we get caught in a trance, believing in something that has us prisoner—humor breaks the spell”), and, in the spirit of “The Serenity Prayer” (“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference”), she encourages us to make peace with what we can realistically do and let the rest go.While Part 1 of this dialogue focuses on the power of equanimity in relation to the big picture and what is going on now politically, in Part 2 Margaret looks at practicing equanimity in personal relationships and in our individual lives. She marvels at Thoreau's equanimous approach to his own death, and shares that she has found forgiveness to be the most important equanimity tool in relationships. “We reclaim our wisdom when we say ‘I'm sorry,'” Margaret explains. Margaret's deep and nuanced understanding of the power and practice of equanimity is inspiring and illuminating, and bringing this virtue to our attention as a pragmatic tool we can use is also incredibly timely, leaving us with a sense of hope and empowerment.

"Of course BHIM is giving crazy cashbacks. That's where I pay my bills."That's not a BHIM fan but a product head at a competing UPI app.After demonetisation hit in 2016, India desperately needed a way to go cashless overnight. UPI existed but barely anyone was using it. Banks were dragging their feet and private players were too small and too few. So, NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) built an entire payments app in weeks and put the Prime Minister behind it. BHIM clocked 10 million downloads in just 10 days. But just as quietly, NPCI put it to sleep and the private players took the bait.Fast forward to today, PhonePe and Google Pay between them own over 80% of all UPI transactions. Two American-backed companies are winning on the very road NPCI laid, while the architect has 0.8% market share on its own railway.So BHIM is back. With MS Dhoni as brand ambassador, cashbacks flying left, right and centre and a stated goal of hitting 5% market share. But can a government app out-app the giants it created? And why is it back and why now?Rahel Philipose and Praveen Gopal Krishnan sit down with Arundhati Ramanathan, deputy editor at The Ken who wrote the original BHIM story in 2017, and Abhishek Madan, co-founder of Alt Inc and former VP of product at Paytm, to find out.Read more:- The unlikely story of BHIM, the upsetter of plans by Arundhati Ramanathan (25 January 2017)- NPCI resurrects its own UPI payments app dreams with Bhim by Arundhati Ramanathan (19 March 2026)______This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer.If you liked this episode, share it with your friends, family and colleagues.

Architecture firms are adopting AI faster than they're building the expertise to judge it.In this episode, we explore the AI and expertise paradox with Christopher Parsons, Founder and CEO of Knowledge Architecture, the firm behind Synthesis — a knowledge and learning platform built for AEC firms — digging into what happens when the tools your firm is counting on require more institutional knowledge to evaluate than the people on staff actually have.AI tools for technical work in architecture — code checking, quality assurance, documentation review — don't run themselves. They require experienced practitioners who can distinguish a real error from a flagged decision, catch what the model missed, and exercise judgment the model can't replicate. The problem is that the people who can do this are retiring. And the emerging professionals now entering firms are, in many cases, actively avoiding the deep technical tracks that build that kind of expertise. The knowledge gap is structural, and most firms aren't naming it yet.Meanwhile, the apprenticeship model that used to transfer institutional knowledge quietly — through proximity, repetition, and mentorship — has eroded. Young professionals aren't getting the reps on site visits, project management calls, and technical coordination that used to form the foundation of good judgment. Architecture's feedback loop compounds this: a decision made today may not be visible in a finished building for four or five years, and by then the people who made it may not be at the firm. Organizational learning is nearly impossible without systems designed to accelerate it.This conversation is essential listening for architects, firm leaders, and AEC educators who want to understand what it actually takes to build expertise in a profession that keeps adding tools faster than it builds the judgment to use them.What you'll learn in this episode:• Why AI tools for architecture QA and code-checking require senior technical oversight — and what happens when that oversight retires• How the knowledge management crisis in AEC firms is structural, not just a staffing problem• Why emerging professionals in architecture are increasingly skipping deep technical tracks — and what that means for AI adoption• How architecture's long project feedback loop makes organizational learning harder than in almost any other industry• What intentional mentorship looks like in practice — including "desirable difficulty" and how one firm rebuilt its approach to professional development• Why expertise functions more like a verb than a noun, and what that means for how firms should think about training and retention#AIinArchitecture #KnowledgeManagement #ArchitecturePractice #AEC #ArchitectureEducation #DesignTechnology Episode Links:'The AI and Expertise Paradox' by Chris Parsons-----Have a question for the hosts?

In this episode, hosts Cara and Chris discuss various models of evolution, adaptation, and returning to the fundamentals, including, yes, math (!), with Dr. Charles Roseman and Dr. Benjamin Auerbach. Dr. Auerbach is a Professor in the Departments of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research examines variation and evolution through the skeletons of primates and other mammals, applying quantitative genetics and functional anatomy to understand how traits evolve, especially in primates and Australian marsupials. He also studies variation in global human samples from archaeological and medical contexts, as well as the history and ethics of the biological and social sciences. You can find more about his work here: https://web.utk.edu/~auerbach/index.htm Dr. Roseman is an Associate Professor in Evolution, Ecology & Behavior and Anthropology in the School of Integrative Biology at the University of Illinois. His work broadly focuses on genotype-phenotype map structure and the evolution of complex traits.

Captain Lewis Haworth, young hacker MB, dark web operative Cole Smith and marine biologist Clare MacGregor found themselves in a changed world, controlled by the sinister Rakervia. In a secret military base in Arizona, they reactivated the Time Tunnel and set out across history, on a mission to track down the lost scientists Tony Newman and Doug Phillips, and restore the world as it should be. 2.1 Families and Lies - June 28 1969, by Mark B Oliver Cole arrives, alone, in Greenwich Village, Manhattan on Saturday, 28th June 1969, the day before the Stonewall uprising. With Lewis and MB nowhere to be found, he forges new friendships, but they have their own troubles. Inside the Project Tic-Toc Control Room, Clare must persuade Elenya that reuniting her friends is in all their interests. 2.2 Divine Intervention - April 1429, by Lisa McMullin MB and Cole find themselves in 15th Century France, towards the end of the Hundred Years War. It's France versus England but MB and Cole will be lining up on the side of France - alongside the Maid of Orleans herself - Joan of Arc. Is she a witch, a heretic or a feminist revolutionary? 2.3 Rendezvous with Tomorrow - April 15th 1912, by Gary Hopkins MB and Cole follow in the footsteps of Doctors Newman and Phillips aboard the doomed passenger ship Titanic in the year 1912. It seems that, after all, history can be re-written. Clara MacGregor, meanwhile, discovers that the past can be read in different ways. Is it possible that the journey's end is in sight? **Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed** Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel TM & © 2026 Legendary.

Recorded on: 17-19 July and 14-16 August 2024 Recorded at: The Soundhouse Producer, director and script editor Gary Russell said: "The Time Tunnel is one of those great Sixties science-fiction shows that ended too soon and without resolution. Ever since I was six years old, I used to think, what happened to poor Doug and Tony? To finally have the opportunity to restart Project Tic-Toc's computer spools, flashing lights and boot up the Tunnel again - and along the way maybe finally get an answer to Doug and Tony's fate - was simply too good an opportunity to pass up on. "We've had so much support and encouragement too from Legendary and Synthesis - who look after the Irwin Allen properties with so much love and respect - and for that I'm really grateful. They gave us the chance to bring The Time Tunnel into the twenty-first century with a bang." On making her Big Finish debut, Sandra Dickinson said: "It's a part to die for! The woman I'm playing has a rich history of being a very good human being, a loving, caring person, and is a tough cookie, so it was really fun to play, and to use the New York accent, which has been in my mind for a long time. "The 1960s was an amazing time. It's so apt at the moment to be talking about the LGBTQ rights movement. It's really nice to hear how it all started off in New York. And my dear son-in-law, David Tennant, has been standing up for them, bless him! So it's a great one to have done." The first episode's writer Mark B Oliver said: "I did a lot of research into the Stonewall Uprising, and what I found most fascinating were the oral histories that people have recorded over the years. These are people that were there and experienced what exactly happened. And the common thread is that they agreed to disagree about the exact details!" The second episode is scripted by Lisa McMullin, who said: "I've had a real hankering for quite a while to tell a pure historical story, so this was such a treat. It was really enjoyable telling the story of Joan of Arc. I had loads of interest in her before, and I'm always fascinated by how religion can be a real comforter to people but is also used to justify so much horror." And, finale writer Gary Hopkins said: "At the time we were discussing what we might want to do with this episode, I was reading a fantastic book called The Darks and Bounds of a Failing World, all about the tragedy of the Titanic and the Edwardian era. So it all fell into place at just the right time. I'd grown up watching various representations of the Titanic through film and television, but I always wanted to go back to the factual origin."

Today our hosts talk about Andy's experience recording with last episode's guest, and his discovery of the Roland JC-40 through that process. An amp that manages to be both a direct-in silent recording solution and an in-the-room tool. We talk about various tonal revelations, and get reminders that sometimes you need the confidence to say this is good and I will now perform well.
