No prep, no constructed argument, just whatever pops into our heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-regular-font-size wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">We feed the recording through AI to transcribe and smooth out the rambling into something readable. The thoughts are ours, even if the punctuation (luckily) has had a little assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-regular-font-size wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it as a written podcast you never asked for. Short, spontaneous and quite possibly unfinished thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-regular-font-size wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Fancy having a go yourself? Spin the wheel for a question, or have a browse through our previous Brain Farts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"bf-public\" class=\"bfp\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\"
