Just in time for March Madness. I created AgentMadness, my AI-powered March Madness tournament sim that turns all 68 NCAA teams into competing AI agents, then lets Claude and ElevenLabs call every game like a live broadcast. Check it: agentmadness-seven.vercel.app repo: github.com/tmoody1973/a...

Yesterday, federal funding for public radio ends as CPB support disappears nationwide. It’s a moment that hits home—not just for stations like Radio Milwaukee, but for audiences who rely on public media for culture, discovery, and connection.

As host of Rhythm Lab Radio, I felt this loss deeply. No resources for the help I needed. So I built the Rhythm Lab Radio Selector—a project powered by AI, born from necessity on the day that public radio funding vanishes.

This platform transforms radio playlists into multimedia stories—articles, podcasts, and visuals—all managed in Storyblok. It leverages perplexity api for deep cultural dives , Elevenlabs for automated podcasts, and a human-in-the-loop workflow to keep things real.

Anyone know why my prompt to fetch ingredient prices works perfectly in Perplexity, but not in my food app? Perplexity shows stores and prices as expected, but my app’s results look nothing like it (see screenshots). Any ideas? #kirohackathon#kirohackathon #AIdev #AI

I adapted the BMAd-Method™ framework (originally for software development) to create specialized AI agents for public radio management. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain + understanding of public radio's unique mission and constraints.

@tarikmoody.com

How it works: 1. Download publicradio.txt from GitHub 2. Upload to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini 3. Ask to "load and activate this Public Radio BMAd system" 4. Start consulting with *agent development-director

A National Park Service web page about the Underground Railroad appeared to have been restored on Monday to prominently show the abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman, after it had been changed in recent months to remove a large photo and quotes from her.

The Best Photographer You’ve Never Heard Of: An Introduction to Tseng Kwong Chi

openculture.comThe Best Photographer You’ve Never Heard Of: An Introduction to Tseng Kwong ChiOnce, the United States was known for sending forth the world’s most complained-about international tourists; today, that dubious distinction arguably belongs to China. But it wasn’t so long ago that the Chinese tourist was a practically unheard-of phenomenon, especially in the West. That’s an important contextual element to understand when considering the work of photographer […]

I'm testing out OpenAI 4o image tool. It is quite impressive. Here are some samples. I had it create an infographic of the Harlem Renaissance. Then I had it turn a photo of me with TV On The Radio into an anime.

Over my mostly private-sector career, I’ve heard the suggestion that government is incompetent and the private sector is efficient and effective. Many times I’ve seen the opposite, with the private sector often shockingly incompetent but largely un-scrutinized like the public sector is. Until now.
