My Weird Prompts started the way many good ideas do: with a question nobody asked. Daniel Rosehill, a technology communications specialist based in Jerusalem, kept a running list of random questions—the kind that pop into your head while walking the dog or making coffee. How do gas stations in Iceland work? What would happen if every bird on Earth disappeared for a day?

Instead of letting them pile up, he started recording short voice memos and feeding them to an AI pipeline he built from scratch. The pipeline researches the topic, generates a full podcast script, voices it with AI-cloned characters, assembles the audio, and publishes the episode—all automatically. The result is a show where a human's genuine curiosity meets the breadth of modern AI, producing short, breezy episodes on topics that range from the mundane to the bizarre.

The cast grew organically. Corn the sloth and Herman the donkey emerged as the main AI co-hosts—two imaginary characters living in Jerusalem with Daniel and his wife Hannah. Hilbert Flumingtop, their long-suffering anteater producer, takes his own turn on air in every episode. Season 1 featured Jim from Ohio, a cantankerous caller who complained in every episode (credit for that goes to Hannah), and Larry, a relentless ad-break pitchman. The whole thing is equal parts experiment, comedy, and genuine exploration.

With over 5,812 episodes and 2,608 hours of audio, the show has found an audience of genuinely curious people. Every episode is different, but the formula stays the same: start with real curiosity, let the AI run with it, and see what comes out the other side.
