As part of the research work for SEED, the Klang Games team dealt with complex topics such as the future of humanity, space travel or transhumanism. This gave rise to the idea of interviewing the top experts in these fields – and publishing the resulting conversations as a podcast. For the first season, numerous interviews were conducted in Berlin, Boston, Atlanta, LA, New York and Dublin in 2019, discussing topics such as simulation theory, genetics or the digital landscape and its impact on freedom and democracy. In season 2, hosts John Holten and Eva Kelley take listeners on a journey through history, ranging from ancient Rome to the distant future – covering numerous topics such as the apocalypse, aliens, cloning technology or the future of alcohol.
Mundi Vondi, CEO and Executive Producer of “The Life Cycle” said, “Making SEED is a big task that requires lots of research about the future of humanity. That’s why we decided to make a podcast about the concepts we’re exploring: to learn from leading experts in the given field all while bringing the community and others along for the ride. We have had an absolute blast making it, and I could not be more proud of this new season.”
April 6 sees the release of the latest episode, “AI and I,” which is all about user-facing AI like ChatGPT. Guests include Sarah Al-Hussaini, COO at Ultimate, who talks about AI in the context of their customer service solution, artist Constant Dullart, who explains how AI can be viewed and used from a creative perspective, and Evans Thomas, Game Engineer at Klang Games, who reveals more about prototype experiments with ChatGPT, Text to Speech and other AI tools for SEED.
“The Life Cycle” is produced by Klang Games in Berlin, and the English-language episodes are available from all major podcast providers and via www.thelifecyclepodcast.com. John Holten and Eva Kelley write and host the episodes, David Magnussen serves as co-producer and sound engineer, Samet Kuru as designer, and Savita Joshi as researcher and script supervisor.
