Listening to the first one now, the speculative fiction parts are very clearly separate from the fact portion (so far).

I was also a little sketched by it and wondering what the case might be so I figured I should give it a listen. 18 minutes left on it, we'll see how it goes.

Folks just aren't listening to it and Sam might not have done the best job describing the podcast as it is and the fine and clear line between the reporting and the speculative stuff.

So far so good, it's been wild listening to a city I know so well being described aurally like this. Tempe/The Valley has been the wild, weird west for autonomous vehicles, this is an interesting subject to cover and the idea you put forward that humans are going to be responsible for AI crimes/problems is an interesting one. So far I'm not totally sold on the speculative framing part, but it's one I am definitely interested in! Again, 15 minutes left and it sounds like the last chunk is where it gets real fictiony!

For sure, and if anyone listens they’d see how clear and quick the line is between fact and fiction. There’s also a 5 minute epilogue laying it all out in the first ep.

In text the idea of it makes folks look at it funny (which I understand). I’m glad I took the time to listen.

Excellent! I maybe should have been clearer about my final question! While I absolutely love Sunita Mai in GLOW, I meant who are your influences when it comes to sci-fi and that sorta stuff.
