From Poe to AI, Part Two

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - previously celebrate poe - this is episode 401 - From Poe to AI, Part Two - In this podcast episode, I wanna be getting away from Poe for now and delving more into AI. And now when I talk about AI or AI bots, just think about websites that use AI can you can ask a question - more about that later.Now, opening a play on Broadway certainly is a demanding undertaking.  And I want to start today's podcast by briefly mentioning two people who helped open plays on Broadway in their 90s. First, Adrienne Kennedy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, born in 1931, is an American playwright known for her unique and surreal theatrical style. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and later attended Ohio State University, where she earned a B.A. in education in 1952. Her plays frequently center Black women and delve into the impact of racism and societal pressures. In 2022, at the age of 91, Adrienne Kennedy made her Broadway debut as a playwright with Ohio State Murders. This play, written decades earlier, draws on Kennedy's own experiences as a student at Ohio State University in the late 1940s and early 1950s, highlighting the systemic racism she encountered.  And John Harold Kander - born in 1927 - along with his partner lyricist Fred Ebb.) wrote the scores for 15 musicals, including Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975.), He and Ebb also wrote the standard "New York, New York" (officially known as "Theme from New York, New York"). When he was 94 he wrote the music for a Broadway musical version of New York New York - a play that received 11 Tony nominations and four wins.Now I want to continue from last week and jump back to the subject of doing historical research with AI.  And for the rest of this episode, I am largely going over comments from Gemini.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
