My Life As A Podcast — Can They Clone Me?
The bulk of my life exists in an unscripted podcast spanning over eleven years. Can I be fully cloned by Artificial Intelligence?
On March 16th, 2008 I started a podcast called Passenger Seat Radio. Well, technically it was called Car Talk — but it turned out NPR already had a radio show named that so a title change was in order.
This unscripted show is recorded by me during my thirteen mile commute home from work; originally on a small digital voice recorder (to be uploaded later) then eventually to be done “live” using a mobile phone and the Spreaker.com podcasting service — which is how I still do the show today.
Doing the show live is great because I can interact with fans (at red lights, of course) inside a “chat room” on my phone while the show unfolds.
A lot has happened to be over the last eleven years. Almost every milestone of my life has been discussed and recorded; both past and present. This includes childhood stories, my previous marriage, my career in the U.S. Navy … every pet I’ve owned and how they died.
Almost everything. Couple things were withheld … but not much.
Aside from probably being a terrible security risk there is something else I hadn’t considered over a decade ago.
