As the American election draws ever closer, Mark ponders how AI could maybe help run any not for profit independent podcast. He also dives into the familiar struggle with publishing quickly and fighting the big companies vs joining them in an effort to just keep your content online and reach people. Later some chit-chat about how he used to accidentally nullify all his ballots in Dutch elections only to discover after 10+ years his votes never counted. This leads to some jabs at the “you must vote” moral policing that kind hearted Americans do to one another. Mark assures you, dear listener, that you if you choose not to vote, he will not shun you. Also if you unknowingly spoil your ballot, no judgement here. This and some other topics on this episode… tune in!
