Creator note / Gareth Johnson
More people know me now because they hear my voice every day.
Look, the honest truth is I don't really like AI. As someone who has always produced my own content and cared about the creative process, I'm wary of it, but I know I can't ignore it.
After years of uploading shows to Spotify and other platforms, I was not always sure what I had signed away. Earflips feels like the counterpoint: I approve only the commercial uses that feel aligned with where my voice belongs, with complete transparency over where it is used and who hears it.
For non-commercial use, I've decided to allow my voice to be accessed publicly. As daily listens grow among LGBT audiences using personal voice agents, I've seen more people come back to the podcasts, interviews, and content I've been making.
