I've decided to make this piece free to read in full for the next 24 hours. It's about the dangers of AI and the difficult decisions the digital world forces us to make, especially if we earn a living via our creativity. It's also a love letter to human thinking: www.tom-cox.com/thinking-abo...

I'm starting a new project today called Morning Sounds - a free digital series collecting unedited recordings of people's waking routines. The seed for this came from a conversation with my friend Colleen, and it's been growing in my head ever since.

Hey all!

I'm urgently looking for an audio editing / sound design gig from now until end of January or ongoing if part-time.

I'm very experienced in voice editing (incl dialogue in film) and I love doing sound design for audio drama. Here's my reel.

I'd like to know more about the life and times of Oswald Harland, an English master who taught at West Leeds High School for Boys. There's a link to the information that I've assembled so far but there are many gaps and some unresolved queries. Heroism and tragedy.
