I’m just in the process of updating my links to my podcast, “The Accidental Curator.” I originally published this podcast in April and a friend contacted me to let me know that it had picked up an irritating “time stamp” – like a metronome ticking away in the background – so I contacted Podbean (the host of all my podcasts) to see what could be done. I was encouraged to use their new Ai feature which quite easily corrected the problem. It also rewrote my – somewhat thin – descriptive preamble, and came up with what follows (definitely more enticing than what I wrote…it speaks more highly of myself than I do – It knows me so well😱)😆. This redo came out in June, so I’ve let it remain In this episode, of The Accidental Curator as follows:

“George Bathgate shares a gripping story titled “The Fourth Corner.” As he prepares to reopen his art gallery, George reflects on three significant car accidents he has witnessed over the years in his Kitsilano neighborhood. Each incident, occurring at different corners, serves as a vivid illustration of life’s unpredictability and the importance of staying vigilant.

From the bustling art gallery to the quaint Bruno’s Corner Cup Café, George’s narrative weaves through time and space, capturing the essence of community life and the ever-present potential for unexpected events. Tune in to hear how these experiences have shaped his outlook and to get a sneak peek into his upcoming book of short stories.

Join George for a compelling episode filled with reflection, humor, and a touch of suspense, reminding us all to approach life’s corners with caution and curiosity.”

Don’t worry, I have not, nor will not, let Ai write my stories nor do my voice. For me at least that would defeat the purpose of exercising creativity – so, here I am, warts & all.
