Join Dr. Hakeem Ali for a meta-conversation about the very podcast you're listening to.

We get into the intentional "lo-fi" aesthetic of our recordings—why we often record in bustling cafes, embrace ambient noise, and use simple equipment to capture a raw, authentic sound.

Discover how this philosophy extends beyond music into podcasting, creating an intimate and immediate experience for the listener.

We also pull back the curtain on our AI-assisted workflow, using tools like Galaxy AI, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini for transcription, summarization, and content creation, all while striving to preserve the unique human voice at the core of it all.

It's a discussion about technology, authenticity, and building upon the giants that came before us.
