AI can create content. But can it create trust? 🤔

This clip is from my recent “Future Impact of Audio” .app lecture + Q&A with the students University of Gloucestershire.

The very first question we explored:

How will AI affect content creators and sports journalists moving forward?

We unpacked:
The evolving role of AI in storytelling
Where automation helps and where it risks eroding trust
Why human voice, authenticity & the “human soul” still matter
Why journalists must adapt with AI not compete against it

A huge thank you to the Sports Journalism students for the thoughtful discussion and sharp questions.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work alongside staff and students at for several years on the journey — exploring how interactive podcasting and social audio can enhance education.

Special thanks to Robert Whitehouse & Alex Ward for collaborating on innovative interactive podcasting strategies in education.

And thank you to Natasha Hawkins, Julian Grail & Matthew Barr for your continued support and engagement.

If you’re in education and thinking about:

🎙 Audio strategy
🤖 AI in learning (pros & cons)
📚 More interactive formats

Let’s connect.

“The AI hype is cooling… but a new billion-dollar market is heating up fast.”🔥

Is the AI bubble finally peaking?
Many analysts think so and they’re already hunting for the next underpriced opportunity.

Here’s my take:
The next big boom is the podcast and voice economy.

As the founder of .app yes I’m biased,
but I’ve been in this industry for over a decade, and many of my predictions have already come true.

I’ve watched podcasting scale across every metric.
What started as a niche has become one of the most influential forms of content on the planet and we’re still only getting started.

Podcasting, voice tech, and interactive audio are quietly turning into one of the fastest-growing opportunities in media, education, and business.

📈 584M podcast listeners in 2025 → 619M in 2026
🎧 Major platforms going all-in on audio:
• Netflix & Spotify bringing video podcasts into Netflix
• TikTok & iHeartMedia launching the TikTok Podcast Network
🏫 Universities adopting audio for engagement + community
🔥 Businesses using podcasts to build trust, attention & conversions
🚀 Interactive audio platforms like Limor enabling two-way learning & communication

We’re entering a new era where brands, educators, and organisations stop relying on rented platforms or paid influencers and instead build and own their own voice.

I recorded a short episode breaking down:
• Why the AI hype cycle is maturing
• The macro trends behind the podcast boom
• Why voice is the next high-growth market
• How audio is transforming education & business
• Why investors should be paying attention now

Another fantastic framing job by .costa.v one of the best in the business! This framing is of a very special pne of my paintings , a portrait of William Wallace aka the legendary Mel Gibson from the awesome movie Braveheart.

Mel recently returned to Trim, Co.Meath, Ireland where many scenes of the movie were shot to mark the 30th anniversary of the theatrical release of the Braveheart movie. I was lucky enough to my print signed by Mel this is print 30 of 30.

I was also delighted to gift Mel with the first edition which I am very happy to say he accepted, it is cool to think he may have it on his wall.
