Listening Lyrics' farewell show, Feb. 10, 2023

Fri, 02/10/2023 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

Listening L thank you poster.jpg

I thought a farewell show would be one with mixed emotions.

Not so, the guests as usual made it such a great hour.

Thank you to all the hundreds of musicians who have shared their talents with me and the audience.

Ten-plus years of weekly Friday shows has been such a wonderful gift to me and Jeanne. Each moment is a treasure.

Thank you Jess Kelly, Nat lefkof and The Raquetbangers (Robert Polon, Timur Katsnelson) for sharing this final episode with me.

Finally, a huge thank you to my co-host and wife for all of her support and love.

The Folk Brothers for Feb. 8, 2023: 'Tiny Notes' for suicide prevention

Wed, 02/08/2023 - 11:10am | Peter Schiffman

The-Younguns.jpeg

The Young-Uns, a mainly a capella trio from the northeast of England, have consistently penned modern ballads centered on local people who have affected positive social change in their communities. Their latest release -- Tiny Notes -- was inspired by Paige Hunter, who in 2018 began tying handwritten notes to the railing of the Weamouth Bridge in Sunderland. These messages have now saved over 30 lives, as well as inspired others to leave similar messages on bridges across the world.

Also on today's show: a new bluegrass supergroup fronted by Andrew Marlin, and a love letter to the Silver State from Mike Beck. And lots more too!

Davisville, Feb. 6, 2023: Did ChatGPT write this? How would you know?

Mon, 02/06/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

chat gpt image from Andy and Pixabay.jpeg

ChatGPT is a new tech tool that can write — maybe “write” should appear in quotes — by using advanced technology and vast databases of text. So is this ability a good thing, the word equivalent of a calculator? Or does use of ChatGPT reduce the need for people to learn how to think and write coherently?

In today’s Davisville we talk with Andy Jones, a longtime writing instructor and educational technologist, and Margaret Merrill, a senior instructional design consultant, both at the University of California, Davis. They list pluses and minuses of ChatGPT, their encounters with the tool, how they can tell when someone has used ChatGPT to write something, and how they approach this latest evolution in artificial intelligence. Their discussion is fascinating.
