About the show

Christine Whitmarsh's popular podcast Your Daily Writing Habit (nearly 1,600 episodes produced) was about helping writers build a writing practice. Now, she's back with a new show - HumanPrint: How to Use AI Without Losing Yourself. HumanPrint is about protecting that practice — and yourself — in a very different landscape. It's still the same thread: voice, language, identity, and the daily choices that shape who you are. I'm just picking it up with a new subplot woven in: AI. This is a practical thinking show for people who are open to using AI, maybe even excited by parts of it, but are not interested in disappearing into it. Each week, we'll look at one place where your human signal — your voice, judgment, identity, behavior, or self-authorship — is vulnerable to drift, and one way to protect it. AI is being pitched as the tool we need to survive, hanging over people like a sword waiting to fall. HumanPrint is about learning to wield the tool without becoming the tool.
