Summary
What happens when your AI clone starts answering phone calls for you—even with your friends and family? In this episode, journalist Evan Ratliff shares the story behind Shell Game, a six-part podcast exploring the unsettling, often absurd world of voice cloning and identity. From real-time scam baiting to AI therapy, Evan walks us through his experiment building and deploying a voice agent that sounded just like him—and what it revealed about technology, trust, and the future of being human.
