Thanks to a text-to-speech generator, all voices are spoken by an AI. But don't worry: it sounds like good radio, with pleasant sound, changing voices, and - most importantly - decent English. This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.Written, produced and edited by Frank SchnelleTheme and background music by Chris HaugenFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTubeSupport us on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
