363 - Podcast News: AI Platform “Fable” Lets You Step Into TV Shows

Show Notes

Imagine a Netflix-style platform where you don’t just watch shows, you create new episodes, alternate endings, and even step into the story yourself.

It's podcast news day, so we also dig into YouTube’s new collaboration tools for creators, LinkedIn’s pivot toward video, and our thoughts on this move. As creators, we’re standing at the intersection of opportunity and overload. The big question is, with AI, shifting platforms, and evolving audiences, are we keeping pace or getting left behind?
