Bradley, in this episode, you said that you're still narrating at least some of your stories. But my podcast feed no longer has those recordings. If you turned off that option in settings, maybe you can bring it back? It's easier to keep track of what I listened to using my podcast app compared to the Substack app. And if you think it clogs up the podcast feed, perhaps Substack can allow you to create a second podcast, featuring only your narrations? You can call it "Ramsey's Regal Ruminations" or "Bradley's Bewitching Ballads."
On a totally different note, I didn't like your usage of the word "stealing" while discussing AI with Nikki. Words have meaning. When you still have the thing, nothing was stolen. It could've been "used without authorization, "plagiarized," or "pirated," but it wasn't stolen. You can go to Smashwords right now, download all three of my books, and start distributing them without my blessing, and I wouldn't call it "stealing" because it isn't. I would still be unhappy about your *piracy* activity, but I would not use the word "stealing." For the AI fiasco, I would use the word "plagiarism." I haven't tested it, but people say that you can ask for a Harry Potter book, and the AI will happily give it to you word for word. When any AI is capable of the "word for word" thing, it's definitely plagiarism, which is still not stealing.
Hey Anton, great points all around. I will look to add narration back into the podcast feed. I was worried about it mixing things up, but I honestly don't think it will be an issue so long as it's clearly labeled.
I'm already developing a second podcast for the Chronicles of Clenchport series, so for now I'll try to keep everything else in one feed.
Also, thank you for the feedback on the AI discussion and the usage of specific terms. Your logic here is sound, so I will make a note on my end and endeavor to be better about how I frame things in future conversations. I appreciate your thoughts as always!
Hey Bradley, I finally got around to listening on my commute today. I first want to say this is such an incredibly put together podcast. I haven’t listened to one before but you earned a long time listener in me. I can tell how much you truly enjoy putting together each segment and the care that you put in is so so cool.
I really appreciate the shoutout for my story. I’m glad you enjoyed that dialog, it was the part I was most self conscious about but hearing you speak it was a really cool experience.
The voice overs in the beginning cracked me up too 😂
Thank you so much, E.J.! I've don't think anyone has ever called my narration transformative before, haha. I really appreciate you, and I meant what I said about your piece that you submitted! Amazing work.
Another cool episode!

Thanks for the mention! I'm also a big fan of Jeffrey 😍
Jeffrey is everyone's favorite....
I'm starting to think he put something in the coffee, he is *not* that likeable, y'all. 💀
We undead and void creatures have special tastes 💀
That’s okay—me too. Void demons attract other undead… I attract equally demonic men.
But, rumor has it, Jeffrey is a big fan of yours as well. 🖤
Blushing 🥵
Hold on, Nikki is sane??
I mean, Jeffrey did say "relatively speaking" 😂
Good point 😂 I love your intros so much!
Haha, thank you so much! I really love doing them each week.
Jeffrey is a compulsive liar, anyway. 🙄

I can’t wait for next week’s episode!
Hey Brennen, thank you so much! The show is very much a labor of love, but I thoroughly enjoy making it each week.
Comments like these mean the world to me as well. I’m so happy you enjoyed the shout out and the excerpt I narrated. I really loved your story!
This episode was fantastic! I loved the extra guest, and the interview was so incredible!
Thank you, Mina! Had to go all out for episode 30! Crazy how far the show has come.
I can't believe it's been 30 episodes!!
It's still the best podcast on the air, and gets better every time 💕
Thank you for the kind words on my story, Bradley! Honored once again to be a part of this podcast.
You are so very welcome! That story will be living rent free in my head for a while, haha. It was incredible, and I’m excited for the next part! 😁
This was so phenomenal! Hearing my words read by Bradley was transformative! Thank you so much for this incredible shout out!
