Many of us have heard of the earthquake that struck Noto Peninsula on New Year’s Day. Ishikawa Prefecture received the largest damage with a death toll of over 200 people and counting. Many are still missing, trapped under debris of collapsed buildings and other infrastructures. The 7.6 earthquake struck the region at 4 PM. It was a grim reminder of the Tohoku earthquake that struck Fukushima region back in 2011. Around 20,000 people died in that disaster.

This episode was produced using AI by cloning my voice. I can't help but feel impressed by how much better AI voice has become. It feels quite weird knowing a computer can copy my voice so easily.

What do you think? Does it sound robotic? Let me know!
