Dear Friend,

We’ve got good news!

At CCDH, we believe stories can spark the kind of conversation that drives real impact. That’s why we’re launching Five Questions with a Storyteller: Shaping the Conversation, a series highlighting creatives whose work gets people talking about what’s shaping our digital world.

For our first edition, Executive Producer and Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt, shared with us what inspired her latest season of Apple TV’s The Morning Show.

The series has been praised for its sharp look at truth, technology, and power. Stoudt told us she began exploring AI after watching early AI news anchors and seeing “the uncanny valley of it.” She warned that the line between people and algorithms is blurring fast.

That’s exactly why conversations like this matter. Powerful stories open up space for the kind of dialogue that leads to change – at home, at work, and online. And if Stoudt’s storytelling is any indication, there has never been a more urgent moment to talk about autonomy, accountability, and the fragile architecture of truth.

If you care about how stories influence culture – and how technology is reshaping our sense of what’s real – this conversation is worth your time.

Best wishes,

The CCDH Team
