Here's the podcast! Super late, sorry, and before Donald Trump slapped his tarrifs, but we do discuss this a little, and other important news such as the Harrogate line up - and more fascinating chat with Chris Lloyd - Part 2! shows.acast.com/the-hobcast-... @chrislloydauthor.bsky.social #podcast

Today is a day of protest. I'm standing with the @societyofauthors.bsky.social against Meta taking our work without our consent to train AI. We're also calling on our government and Lisa Nandy to #dothewritething and protect our creative arts and not weaken copyright laws in favour of big tech.
