The Decision to Digitize The Beano: Comixit! are Building Additive, Not Addictive, Tech

With childrens' literacy (in the United Kingdom) in crisis, Michael Nakan CEO of Comixit! is using technology to fight back.

Today he joins David to discuss how his platform uses AI to transform the legendary Beano into frictionless, digital-native webtoons. We explore the cross-generational power of storytelling, the danger of "addictive" vs. "additive" technology, and why Nakan believes that without stories, we simply stop being human.
