Radio Insomnia (resurrection)
by Anders Bjarby
One sleepless night can spark a creative journey. A year ago, in July 2023, insomnia led me to create "Whispering Pines with Dante Emberwood," a dreamy podcast designed to lull myself to sleep. Little did I know, this experiment would position me as a pioneer in AI audio dramaturgy, as noted in a Medium article ( / im-not-the-first-ai-audio-dramatist-this-g... ) that followed. Fast forward to last night. Once again, sleep eluded me, but this time, I was armed with a year's worth of AI advancements. I decided to push the boundaries further and create a pilot for a new show: "Radio Insomnia." The Concept Radio Insomnia is a late-night show for those who never sleep, broadcasting from a timeless desert town where the weather never changes. It's a place that looks like a deserted ghost town to interstate travelers, yet is alive with the whispers of the sleepless.
