S01E05 - News of the World

from Mash-up: After Hours Podcast · host John J Steemson

Episode 5 is packed with weird, wonderful, and downright hilarious stories from across the globe. We dive into the rise of AI musician Xania Monet and why AI music hitting the charts is both fascinating and slightly terrifying. We’ve got some genuinely good news as pandas are officially no longer endangered, and we share some of the daftest safety signs you’ll ever hear. Plus, we explore how your personality might be revealed by something as simple as which body part you wash first in the shower. It’s John vs Claire in this week’s Head2Head, and the Confession Booth delivers what is by far one of the funniest confessions we’ve had so far. All that — and plenty more chaos in between.
