Ep.#3 "The Orange Box" (15 minutes)
Athena Indigo is not happy with the current world situation and sings from the Lost Bistro Cabaret stage. "The Orange Box" written & Narrated by Xavier Combe Episode written & Produced by Jim Hall WARNING: Full Disclosure-Elements of this podcast were made with AI. It's apparent, the fix is in, and has been in the works for some time to flip the script into Autocracy. As creatives, what are we to do?How can we possibly fight back with equal measure? Canary Canard Studios was created to be a cudgel to Far Right politics. We ultimately felt like we were taking a knife to thermonuclear gunfight. The struggle was how to amplify our voice and message to Roll Back this RED TIDE. Artificial intelligence was used in the production of this podcast. We disclose that openly because we understand the concern. AI carries profound risks: it exists in a world already marked by war, violence, disinformation, and the possible displacement of artists and human labor. We do not dismiss those fears; we share many of them. For us, AI is not authorship, ideology, or replacement. It is a tool governed by human hands, human judgment, and human values. We remain fully responsible for every creative and ethical choice. But, why? We believe the world is hurtling, yet again, towards a critical mass and Democracy is worth saving, by any means necessary. In the end: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a republic or a monarchy?”Ben Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
