7.0 The Trust IS a Feeling (and Closing Thoughts) Episode

July 21, 2026 · 12 min

Show notes

Trust Control is the culmination of more than 10 months of human, non-AI assisted exploration and process. It is the product of deep research rabbit hole digging; journalistic interviews; idea organizing; contemplation and articulation; writing and re-writing; re-re-writing; microphone jabber; digitized audio manipulation; more contemplation and articulation; re-re-re-writing and re-recording; and...well...you get the picture. The project took many twists and turns along the way. In this episode, you'll hear a bit about Trust Control creator Kate Kaye's process and some of the overarching ideas that emerged from inside her (humble, fallible and messy) human brain. In this episode:
  • The power and meaning of trust as unarticulated alchemy
  • Why and how Trust Control evolved as an artistic and philosophical endeavor
  • Unexpected trust measurement patterns discovered
  • A look ahead to full-length Trust Control interview episodes and related work
People Featured in this Episode:
  • Kate Kaye, Trust Control creator and narrator
