Everyone’s talking about generative AI in the content industry, and we’ve recently dedicated a few shows to the latest tools available, but also the ethics involved in this technology that is transforming the TV and content production at lighting speed.

And we’ve spoken to early adopter producers who are leading the way.

This week I’m delighted to have a veteran of new content technology on the show to share a perspective from a different angle - Digital Media and AI consultant Dan Taylor-Watt.

Over the next few weeks we’re going to be exploring the world of YouTube for TV producers with our friends at Little Dot Studios.

The current commissioning slowdown has highlighted how exposed producers can become to global economic headwinds. When the networks and streamers stop buying, it can leave many indies high and dry.

So perhaps now is the time to properly consider building a different kind of indie. One where building your own IP through podcasts, YouTube and other social networks are the keys to a more sustainable future.

This week we discuss the practicalities and opportunities on YouTube with James Loveridge, Managing Director of Entertainment at Little Dot Studios.
