I'd also love to hear how you're holding up, given this AI news.

What's it doing to your creative process? What's climate change and fascism and endless wars doing to it too? Are you just better at pretending it all away than I am? I'll be back next week with my conversation with filmmaker Paul Weitz, co-creator of Murderbot and prolific feature film director, including About a Boy, American Pie, Little Fockers, Moving On, and Fatherhood.
Cole HaddonHOST
In the meantime, take care of yourself, story talkers.

Mike GriefHOST
And the guy, what's his name? Yeah.
Mike GriefHOST
