Don’t Tell Daddy

Don’t Tell Daddy S2:E5 We Let AI Speak for Us

DONT TELL DADDY Podcast has built the first mother - daughter podcast that blends real storytelling with AI interaction - and yes, it should feel like something you’ve never seen before. Because Elisabeth Withers (singer/actress) & Chelsea Mendes (pre-law student) are the first to do it. The highlight of this episode is the mother daughter dialogue with real emotional, human moments interwoven with AI-driven interaction, including the introduction of Chelsea’s AI persona. This is intentionally nontraditional. Think show + experience, not just a podcast. The two have built something much deeper while highlighting their original soundtrack April Bloom For Me by MBYGS & Ewmdesk Inc.
