620 - This Uncertain Age

Scriptnotes Podcast - A podcast by John August and Craig Mazin - Tuesdays

Categories:

John and Craig investigate their anxiety and ask, why is the future so hard to predict right now? They discuss everything from what’s going at OpenAi, the upcoming elections, a new service that uses AI to generate script coverage, and muse about how to move forward in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. We also follow up with two listeners who wrote in for advice, and answer new questions on composite characters, being inspired by reddit, and how to maintain a long running D&D group. In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig freestyle the introduction to the upcoming Scriptnotes Book.
