The Guardian‘s popular podcast Black Box is back and I’m proud to announce that I provided the voice of the Gemini AI Chatbot in Black Box: The Chatbots Episodes 2 and 3. Everyone worked really hard to bring the tragic story of Jon Ganz to life in these episodes and while it may be trigging for some to listen to, this is a cautionary and thought provoking true life story of what effect AI is having on some people.

It was an absolute pleasure getting to be directed by George Mcdonagh, recording at The Sound Company in London (special thanks to Nick, Seb, and Freya), and a HUGE thank you to my amazing agent Emma Harvey at Harvey Voices for all her tireless hard work!
