Adam Levy built the first fully synthetic podcast to top the UK charts. His Neural Broadcast Network has crossed 3.5 million downloads with no human hosts.
It started with a 48-hour thought experiment. The DOJ dropped a fresh tranche of Epstein files and Levy pointed Claude at the stack. Seven days after publishing, The Epstein Files had 100,000 downloads. WarDesk, Rex, and Neurodivergent followed. The catalog now pulls 70,000 downloads a week.

– What \"trustless media\" means and why Levy borrowed the phrase from crypto
– The legacy-press backlash and his response to it
– Building toward an autonomous newsroom that produces series on demand
– Where the synthetic-media audience is heading next
