About this episode
A Southern Oregon man built a viral Christian metal-and-banjo band whose members don’t actually exist. Ethan Howard, creator and musical director of Shunned at a Funeral, joins Lars to explain how the project exploded to more than 3.5 million views, how his progressive visual impairment shaped his musical journey, and why the claim that his music is “100% AI” misses how the project actually works. If AI helps make the music, does that make the band any less real? Send us Fan Mail
