Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

I wanna share one of my favorite episodes in recent memory. With a musician and artist and legend, Brian Eno. We spoke in twenty twenty five about his book, What Art Does. And what art and creativity mean in the age of AI. The conversation remains a breath of fresh air.

So hope you at this particular moment. Enjoy it. Yeah. I've got an email from a lot of you lately saying Can we do a show just off the news? Can one show

not be in the grim march of events. So here it is. How do you introduce? Brian Eno.
