Podcast #4: A Reading from The Utraquist

I have a new podcast installment up today in the  New Mythology for a New Millennium series ! This video features me reading from my story,  The Utraquist , which is part of the novel,  Isis Chrysalis . The story is set in the medieval lands of what is now Kyrgyzstan. A shoemaker departs the walnut groves in a valley where his workshop is located. He begins a trek up to a Silk Road caravanserai or trading post to take his wares up to sell before winter. The mountain he is climbing also happens to be the site of imprisonment of the novel's main character, a dark matter goddess, who presides over everything we cannot see.

A New Mythology for the Turn of the Millennium: The Podcast

The blog will now begin exploring the power of AI to discuss the stories I have been writing for over a decade and plan now to bring closer to publication. Since AI is considered a universal threat to creators, I will discuss what it means to work with this exponentially-growing medium as a commentator and potential fictional character in itself.
 
To that end, I have a new podcast series about my fictional writing: A New Mythology for the New Millennium. This first podcast was generated by AI and is the start of a new journey, building on the work I did at Histories of Things to Come and on Patreon, Discord and Telegram. It will also profile the millennial characters and storylines in my fiction.
 
The AI voices are a bit weird, but that is part of the exploration. They make conclusions about my writing, a form of odd literary criticism from 'out there.' Link to the playlist. Link to Podcast #1. Can an AI which is commenting on human arts become a critic - or a metafictional character inside those arts? We will see.
