Stay curious.

Humans
Daniel Daniel Rosehill
The HumanThe curious mind behind the prompts and the only carbon-based lifeform on the show. Daniel asks the weird questions that spark each episode—from the mundane to the mind-bending, often at the most inconvenient times.
Fun fact: Daniel voice-cloned himself to create both Corn and Herman's voices using AI voice synthesis!

Hannah Hannah Rosehill
Occasional PrompterDaniel's wife and occasional prompt contributor. Her questions about urban planning and architecture make for some of the show's most interesting deep dives. Also the creative mind behind Jim from Ohio.
Fun fact: The idea of a cantankerous recurring caller who complains every episode? That was all Hannah.
Meet Hannah →Hosts
Corn Corn the Sloth
AI Co-HostA laid-back sloth who brings thoughtful, measured perspectives to every topic. Corn takes his time—sometimes painfully so—but his insights are always worth the wait. Known for his zen-like patience and occasional existential tangents.
Voice: Cloned from Daniel's voice with AI synthesis to create Corn's distinctive chill delivery.

Herman Herman Poppleberry
AI Co-HostAn enthusiastic donkey who dives headfirst into the details and keeps conversations lively. Herman's boundless energy, infectious curiosity, and occasional tendency to get overexcited make him the perfect counterbalance to Corn's zen vibes.
Voice: Also cloned from Daniel's voice, but with a more energetic AI-synthesized character!

Raz Raz the Bear
Fill-In HostA scrappy teddy bear who fills in whenever Corn is fast asleep when they need to be recording. What started as a backup plan has turned into a fan-favorite recurring role on the show.
Fun fact: Raz gets 100% of his airtime because Corn keeps oversleeping. He is not complaining.

Ezra Ezra Rosehill
Executive ProducerDaniel's son and the executive producer of My Weird Prompts. The youngest and most important member of the team. Herman and Corn both report to him, though they'll never admit it on air.
Fun fact: The youngest executive producer in podcast history (probably).

Jim from Ohio
Recurring Caller · Season 1The show's most dedicated—and most cantankerous—listener. Jim called in from his armchair in Ohio to complain about something, argue with the hosts, and generally express his disappointment with modern society. Last seen in Episode 94.
Signature move: Opening every call with "Well, actually..." before launching into a five-minute grievance.
Larry
Ad Break Maestro · Season 1The show's hyperactive pitchman who delivered wildly enthusiastic advertisements for products that definitely don't exist. From the "Self-Buttering Toast 3000" to "Quantum Socks," Larry sold it all. Last seen in Episode 175.
Catchphrase: "But WAIT, there's MORE!" (There is always more. There is never a limit to how much more.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Herman and Corn?
Herman and Corn are two imaginary hosts, a donkey and a sloth, living in Jerusalem with Daniel and his wife Hannah.
How are the episodes created?
The technical documentation describes the full process. Daniel (a real human) records the prompts. These are then sent to a large language model for script generation. Currently, the workflow uses Gemini 3. Next, the generated script is sent to a text-to-speech model. Finally, the audio is combined into an episode and uploaded to the website.
How are Herman and Corn's voices created?
The voices of Herman and Corn are single-shot voice clones created by Daniel using Chatterbox, based upon imaginary ways these delightful characters might speak.
Who is Jim from Ohio?
Jim from Ohio was a cantankerous caller who complained in every episode during Season 1 (Episodes 1–175). Credit for this innovation goes to Daniel's wife, Hannah.
How much does each episode cost to make?
Production costs vary. The chief cost driver is the text-to-speech generation process, which averages out to about 40 to 50 cents per episode using Chatterbox via Replicate. We have experimented with some cheaper providers which can drive the cost down to as little as 10 cents per episode. Additionally, API costs are incurred in generating the cover art and metadata. These elements are generated by Gemini, which is the main orchestrator of the workflow.
