Blindboy Boatclub, Irish artist formerly of The Rubberbandits, credits Joe Frank as an influence on his podcast style, tracing it back to Samuel Beckett as a potential influence on Joe Frank, who taught Ira Glass of This American Life, and may also have been inspiration for Chris Morris of Blue Jam and Brass Eye, programs that Blindboy experienced as a youth.

I have tried to do something like that with languages, like Japanese: https://www.locserendipity.com/jp/Japanese.html https://www.locserendipity.com/jp/Japanese.html and am working on voice simulators based on phonemes not dependent on APIs. It is not that easy to do. This English one based on my voice doesn't sound that great: https://www.locserendipity.com/sim/voice.html https://www.locserendipity.com/sim/voice.html
