What happens when you combine one of the greatest detectives of all time with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence? Join us as we explore the latest media culture news and the fascinating world of deconstructing chatbots in Sherlock Holmes radio dramas.

All this, and the latest unusual media culture news including Unreal Engine 5’s Anime Tokyo project, Twitch streamer Pooper Noodle’s bank account rejection, and AI detector’s unreliability. We then consider how theories like deconstructionism can be applied to analyse the AI-generated Sherlock Holmes radio dramas we have been creating. And we finish with our newest creation - an interview with Sherlock Homes, Watson and the Media Mothership team.
