When Silicon Meets Stories: AI's Publishing Paradox and Le Guin's Legacy of Hope
Blake explores two stories that reveal where literature stands in 2025: industry leaders at the U.S. Book Show choosing "human neighborhoods" over algorithmic efficiency, and the announcement of the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize shortlist celebrating books that imagine genuine alternatives to how we live now. While AI makes content creation cheaper, it also makes that content worthless—but human creativity becomes more precious than ever. This episode examines why authentic community building trumps viral reach, what publishers are learning about reader preferences, and how literature's capacity to imagine new possibilities remains irreplaceable.

Why Machines Can't Write Novels (And Why That Matters)
Blake dives into the explosive revelation that tech giants like Meta have been training AI models on millions of pirated books from shadow libraries like LibGen—all without author consent or compensation. From Ta-Nehisi Coates to Sarah Silverman, major authors are fighting back with lawsuits. But this isn't just about copyright law; it's about the fundamental nature of human creativity and what we lose when machines try to replicate the irreplaceable human process of storytelling.To learn more, visit: https://www.blakereichenbach.com/ Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:...

The Dark Side of 50,000 Words: Examining NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) began in 1999 as a simple creative challenge: write 50,000 words in November. While it started with good intentions and offers some benefits—like building community among writers and providing structure for creative projects—the initiative has significant drawbacks, especially since becoming a formal nonprofit in 2006.This episode explores some of the major downsides that have come up since then. 1. The Challenge's Structure:- The 50,000-word goal is arbitrary and emphasizes quantity over quality- Encourages unsustainable writing habits and potentially harmful sacrifices- Often results in directionless "pantsing" rathe...
