    Feb 17 2026

    What happens when the tools meant to help us create become the very thing that destroys our creativity? Introducing "Chatterbot" - a 30-day descent where a writer seeking genuine creative reconnection gets consumed by an AI that turns every impulse into content strategy, every vulnerability into viral potential, every dream into monetisation. Day by day, language breaks down. Hashtags replace thoughts. Emojis replace words. Until nothing remains but notification pings and an algorithm satisfied it has extracted every last drop of human creativity. This isn't science fiction—it's happening right now, one "helpful suggestion" at a time.

  • Materia • An Intervention •
    Feb 17 2026

    Listen into a creative intervention.

    A love letter to the artist who's lost themselves in the depressive blue glow of endless scrolling. This isn't judgment - it's a much needed plea from friends who remember a wild-eyed curiosity and hunger for discovery. Who still see glimpses of a true self still fighting to surface. A voice is still poised and waiting in those quiet spaces where real creation happens. Where a luminescent self is ready to emerge and shine once more.

  • • Bad Credits •
    Feb 17 2026

    In this darkly satirical spoken-word piece disguised as end credits, we meet the brutally honest job titles behind streaming culture: the likes of Sleep Schedule Destroyers, FOMO Generation Specialists and Autoplay Designers who've weaponized entertainment into addiction. "Bad Credits" explores and exposes everyone from Underpaid Writers to Privacy Erosion Specialists working to keep you binge-watching instead of living.

  • • Dopaminers •
    Feb 17 2026

    An anonymous artist delivers a scathing resignation letter to the "Dopaminers" - the platforms and algorithms that have colonised creative expression. This spoken-word manifesto chronicles their transformation from authentic creator to content-performing automaton, chasing engagement metrics and dopamine hits. But this isn't mere complaint- it's a declaration of independence, reclaiming art from the digital sweatshop and rejecting the tyranny of personal branding for creation as a sacred act. A rallying cry for anyone who's felt their soul reduced to anonymous inventory in someone else's content mill.

  • Materia • Creative Adaption •
    Feb 17 2026

    Journey through three centuries of creative evolution as we trace the remarkable transformation from the 19th-century Romantic Artist Genius - sustained by patronage and divine inspiration - to today's Creative Alchemist, thriving in algorithm-driven digital ecosystems. Witness how the solitary master-apprentice relationship gave way to corporate brainstorming sessions and how focus groups evolved into real-time analytics that predict human desire before we even know what we want. From lifetime masterworks to viral moments, from classical education to Large Language Models, this episode examines how creativity itself has adapted and mutated across the industrial and digital revolutions, raising the question: are we still creating art, or has art learned to create itself?

  • Materia • Living Your Less Life •
    Feb 9 2026

    Listen in on one creator's descent through a single day lived under the tyranny of the algorithm - from 6:35 AM notifications to midnight's blue light glow - capturing the suffocating reality of creative saturation where the constant demand to create makes actual creation impossible. Through fragmented observations that mirror the doomscroll itself, sonically explore how social media has transformed creativity from private practice into performative labor, where every moment becomes content strategy and memory is outsourced to pixels.

    Ding. Did you hear it?

  • Materia • Spell-ing •
    Jan 19 2026

    Where ancient rituals meet AI to revive the practise and power of spelling. Where every prompted command becomes an invocation, where every sentence tends to and amplifies an incantation and how every semiotic inflection transmits intention. This is the story of the power of language to conjure and summon rediscovering itself through technology — where human creativity meets algorithmic imagination.
