A fake podcast about my latest chapter 🙌🎙️
I’m about 80 pages into writing my book, although most of it is classified except for the first couple chapters.
But as noted before, it can be fun to see how AI interprets my writing.
Having just finished chapter 6 of my book, I decided to use Speechfy’s “podcast” feature to generate a late-night show about the chapter.
I find the results amusing. What do you think?
Family visit 🙌
It was fun showing my brother and the unofficial in-laws around town, including a little kid who kept stealing my hat. 🤠 He loved the @texastoymuseum so much he’s dying to go back. #family #austin #texas #uno
Schlitterbahn 🌊
Went to Schlitterbahn, friends and family, did the Wolfpack and lazy river, got a couple artsy photos. #schlitterbahn #newbraunfelstx #family #summer #texas https://www.instagram.com/p/DNa9qwNOWF-/?img_index=1
Thunder Road – accidental Elvis take 🎤
After playing around with some funky music tools, I’ve come back to the singing, which is my ultimate goal with Thunder Road. And going with the Show Your Work philosophy, here’s an early and very imperfect take of me figuring out how to sing this song.
I only sing up to “You ain’t a beauty, but hey, you’re alright,” which is such a funny line. The rest is just guitar.
I ended up kind of channeling Elvis here, which was wholly unexpected and fun. I gave Elvis a little nod to a few weeks ago as well, if you look closely.
Maybe I’ll sound like this one day.
