You said that the AI faux podcast explaining “project russia” was very important for understanding what’s happening now. I have twice started listening, but gave up.

I trust you on the importance. But I can’t get past that irritant. When you read from your Paranoia on Parade article, it was also a lot of info, but easy listening! So why not translated just have the AI read the “project russia” playbook? Maybe even in your voice? Meryl Streep? That AI banter is insufferable.

@lindamarie Anyway listen to the subsequent two episodes. You'll miss foundational material but you can enjoy the human guests.

@lindamarie the other option might be to learn Russian and read the literally hundreds of pages of source material. There is basically no other way to tackle that kind of challenge right now.
