In this episode, we sit down with Fraser Bell, CEO of @wondercraft_ai, the AI audio and video platform backed by @ycombinator, @ElevenLabs and @StevenBartlett.

We also explore how the company attracted high-profile investors, what sets it apart from #AI giants, and the growing challenge of “AI slop” as AI-generated content becomes more accessible.
