Hope you all had a great weekend. I don’t have any podcast thoughts today, but I did see the Roundabout Theater’s gender-reversed 1776, and it absolutely slapped. As my friend Olivia said, 1776 was made as propaganda and has no business being as good as it is (it’s also more clear-eyed about American politics than Hamilton, but I digress). Plus, the movie version has Mr. Feeny as John Adams — what a gift.
Anywho, on the docket today: Apple makes it easier for podcasters to deliver the goods to their subscribers, Microsoft is making leaps in the text-to-speech AI space, and we have some exciting Hot Pod Summit news!
