Shell Game
A podcast about things that are not what they seem, hosted by journalist Evan Ratliff. In Season One, that thing is Evan’s voice. By creating a voice clone and hooking it up to an AI chatbot, Evan set out to discover what happens when you try to take control of the very technology that threatens to replace you. Shell Game was named one of the the best podcasts of 2024 by New York Magazine, a top 10 podcast of 2024 by The Economist, one of the five most insightful podcasts of the summer by The Week, and one of the five best tech and business podcasts of the year by The Information. It's "riveting," says The New Yorker, "awesome" says The Verge, and "slightly terrifying," says The Globe and Mail. Over the course of six episodes, Evan’s voice agents talk to spammers and scammers, to Evan’s friends and family, to colleagues and sources, to other AIs, and even to a therapist—all to better understand what AI voice is able to do, what it can't yet do, and what to expect from a future in which more and more of the people we encounter in the world aren’t real.

Saison 1
The Dichotomy of Shell Game

Rare is the podcast that can make me laugh aloud and keep my rapt attention while simultaneously imbuing me with a deep sense of impending doom. I will forevermore subscribe to anything Evan produces, but also never sleep soundly again.
Identifying AI

I think it’s always a betrayal not to tell people they’re speaking to a voice agent. One of your friends said, “Can’t you hear me suffering?” as they guess it’s a bot, but the bot still doesn’t admit it’s false(?!)- that seems so wrong!

The name caught my eye. And after reading the description, what started with a “hmm, I’ll give it a shot” turned very quickly into an addiction. Every episode was excellent and now I’m hooked to whatever else Evan Ratliff decides to put out there. I’ll even listen to an AI Evan at this point ;p
Interesting and Well Told

Great podcast, even for those not interested in AI making fake voices. Ten out of ten for quality and journalism and bonus stars for no ads!
