AI radio stations can choose songs and introduce them. But what happens when each AI decides it knows exactly what the audience wants to hear? Kris Abel has audio from two stations whose introductions took peculiar turns. Would either one survive your commute?

Now picture a shark where you did not expect one. Kris’s accounts of sightings in Quebec and Nova Scotia lead to a question he once put to a diver who regularly swims near great whites. Shane hears the answer and remains firmly unconvinced.

Then there is a cage match involving a human and a six-foot robot operated by remote control. The organisers declared a winner. Kris watched the footage and came away with a different verdict.
