    THIS EPISODE WAS CREATED USING A.I. SOFTWARE AND MAY INCLUDE FACTUAL ERRORS IN THE EPISODE. PLEASE BE SURE TO VERIFY QUESTIONABLE INFORMATION YOURSELF AS WELL.

    With the explosion of A.I. (artificial intelligence), there are new tools coming along all the time! We shared the video of the March 19th Mokena 159 School Board meeting on our YouTube channel. Using that video and some amazing AI, I tried out this tool that creates an audio overview that sounds like an old fashioned radio program!
    So check out its review of the most recent school board meeting! Besides hearing how real this technology sounds, you will also get 3 hours of school board meeting debriefed down to about 20 minutes!
