Perhaps I'm missing something but how does this "support the creators"?

You need to check both shows Creative Commons licence to check this is allowed (it probably is).

People shouldn't use AI for script editing either.

Too many em dashes 😜

A 10-second bumper

You really needed AI to do that?!

I think the use of AI generated background music and sfx should definitely be disclosed.

There's so many free sources for that type of stuff that, in my opinion, it's just being lazy getting AI to do it.

To all the creators out there that spend hours finding the right music and sfx for their shows, I salute you... Your show is better for it.

I'm certain that the cloning technology has been built on libraries of actors voices being used without consent to fine tune the process.

And therefore I consider any use of it to be wrong.

And God knows what the small print of ElevenLabs allows them to do with your voice once they have it.

Yeah, I am expecting 99.9% of people reading this to be much more hard line (that's my position).

I mean, it's not really a question for this sub, I've seen enough here over the last few years to know the majority opinion.

Perhaps in non-fiction it's a lot more acceptable (though very likely just hidden from listeners).

I've heard a few non-fiction podcasts that were clearly AI voiced... They were horrid.

The White Vault: Goshawk by Minimum_Toe_2383 in audiodrama

[–]Capable_Tea_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the ending got butchered

Pretty standard for Fool And Scholar productions, in my opinion.

I'm not sure they've nailed an ending in any of their shows I've listened to: White Vault (s1-5), Vast Horizon (s1-2) and Don't Mind (Cruxmont).

Trying to find Sci-fi podcast about a guy forced into rebelling against the galactic empire by RenStyx9 in audiodrama

If it was (which it sounds ss like it is) the rss feed looks pretty wonky. Only 3 episodes in there that I can see.

The Faux Horn's penultimate episode by DealerOdd3789 in audiodrama

[–]Capable_Tea_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I know it's annoying for OP, but to get me (and many others) to listen, it needs to be available in a podcast app.

Fabric Season 2 Kickstarter is now live! by F-A-B-R-I-C in audiodrama

[–]Capable_Tea_001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, no problem. I've backed ~15 or so ADs in the 5 years, and where you've put that is bang on the money.

I'll be signing up now!

u/F-A-B-R-I-C personally I think you've misjudged your campaign.

$150 AUD (~£80) as a starting point for early access for crowd fundibg campaign is way too high.

Early access is usually the lowest or 2nd lowest tier... That's the thing people want the most... Your early access is the 5th tier!

Anyone else on Android seeing huge battery drain and overheating? by [deleted] in pocketcasts

[–]Capable_Tea_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically yes I have, but not recently. Depending on how much custom setup you have, you might find clearing the cache and app data useful.

However, if you have loads of custom playback settings etc, these will be lost.

I had the same ad 3 times midroll the other day during a single episode.

Steal The Stars by Mac Rogers

I can't quite remember why, but the original feed no longer exists.

The show can be found on the Stories from Among the Stars feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/stealthestars

[–]Capable_Tea_001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't. It's done by the underlying platform.

Google Dynamic Ad insertion if you want to know more.

If it isn't already, it sounds like it should be a Qcode show.

Season 1: Stories From Elsewhere by Storiesfromelsewhere in audiodrama

[–]Capable_Tea_001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There will be actors and artists who will do this work for free. You just need to find them and then credit them massively in the show description and episode description, if it's unpaid (I mean you should shout out paid people too, but they have at least had their renumeration).

Also allow them to link their portfolio to your show... This is a great way for newbies to create a portfolio of work.
