Two shows. Same brand. Different cadence.

The Weekly Digest tells the week in AI and data as one short story, in the voice of a rotating literary author. The Daily Brief is the end-of-day headline roundup - five to seven minutes recapping what mattered over the day just finished, in a newscaster voice. Subscribe to whichever fits your cadence, or both.

AI & Data Weekly Digest

Each week's AI, machine-learning, and data-engineering news, clustered and de-duplicated down to what actually mattered, then rewritten as a single original short story. The twist: a rotating cast of literary narrators - sometimes Hemingway, sometimes Chandler, sometimes Kafka or a skeptical engineer. Same facts, completely different read.

How both shows are made

Both podcasts are produced end-to-end on kargin-utkin.com's own servers - no third-party hosting, no analytics tracking, no podcast-ad network. The text is written by an in-house pipeline that pulls from a curated news feed plus official vendor blogs from the major data and ML companies. Narration is done locally with the open-source Kokoro TTS model (no API calls).
