Fast Hours

by Drew Brucker & Rory Flynn

Fast Hours is a weekly generative AI podcast where Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn dig into the craft, taste, and business of making creative work with AI. Every week, they unpack what’s changing across AI image and video generation, creative workflows, models, platforms, culture, creative careers, and the business of creative work. What matters? What works? What’s overhyped? And where does leverage exist for creatives? Expect AI news, practical workflows, experiments, guest conversations, and strong opinions from two dudes actually using it in their professional work.
