Simon and the Frogs get into the one thing AI still can’t replicate: lived experience.The conversation moves through absurdity and satire, the electricity of live theatre, and why a room full of humans laughing together still hits different in a world built around algorithms and content.It’s Funny. It’s Thoughtful. It’s Existential.Theatre. Culture. Vibe. PRODUCTION CREDITSHosted by — Alex Ubokudom & Tobie WindhamProducer — Jessica HannaVideo & Audio Editor — Byron Rogers Jr.Social Media & Marketing — Janine Lee PapioTheme Music — Arlo SandersProduced by Outside In Theatre + The Frogs","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DCp-Ws1gntUmmaPd8_gwtZKiLDXQSqX1csMyYYCj2Rw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82MjJk/YTBiMmU3YmVhMTQ0/MjExMGQzYWJjMzI1/MTc5Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
