The robots are taking over lads, and they are starting with this podcast!

We wanted to see whether or not AI could put together a couple of decent verses, and you know what, we are regretting inviting AI on as it's shown just how bloody easy writing a few verses is.

Before that, inspired by a trip to Paris, we discuss one of France's most iconic raconteurs Marcel Lucont and share his poem 'Wine In A Can'

We then get into the scary world of Chat GPT, as we set it the task to write its own version of one of Ryan's poems and then one of Leon's. We'll call a taxi now.

Electric Picnic is around the corner with a lot of special performances across the whole weekend. We preview all the goings on at 'The Word' tent as well as share poetry from Gerard Devine and Steven Camden (AKA Polarbear)

Bonny Tyler then ends the show with a message of support. No, you aren't drunk, the actual Bonny Tyler

Come and say hello to us at the festival next week, and if you're reading this and not going, sad times.
