Narrator:

Welcome to Pan2Pen, a storytelling podcast when a chef leaves the kitchen to share his stories Produced by Tate Basildon, a private chef and memoir author, bringing you a collection of stories that traverse the realms of fiction and reality. We have received some pushback regarding the narration of this podcast. Let us share why you'll hear an AI voice narrating these stories. You see, tate has a chronic illness that affects his voice. Overuse makes it hoarse and sometimes difficult to breathe. Tate often takes breaths and pauses in the middle of sentences, which does not work for a storytelling podcast.

Narrator:

Tate opted for an AI narrator to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. This allows the stories to be told without discomfort on Tate's end and ensures a seamless flow for your listening pleasure. We understand that some listeners may have reservations about AI voices, but it's worth noting that AI is becoming a staple in various aspects of podcasting. The decision to use AI is specific to the narration and we want to assure you that all other aspects of this podcast, from the writing to the editing and production, are crafted by Tate. It's a personal touch that adds authenticity to the storytelling experience. So, as we embark on this storytelling journey together, let's embrace the blend of technology and creativity. The magic lies not only in the tales we weave, but in the evolving landscape of podcasting. Thank you for joining me on Pan2Pen, where words come to life.
