Ron Ploof on Story Street

Ron Ploof: Storyteller/AI Gumshoe

Upon hearing that he was a storyteller with a degree in electrical engineering, someone asked Ron Ploof if he was a modern Renaissance man. “No,” he said. “I’m just a socially well-balanced geek.”


In 2005, he launched one of the world’s first storytelling podcasts, Griddlecakes Radio: Exploring the lost art of audio storytelling. He’s been teaching the art of storytelling since 2015, and is presently researching and writing about Generative AI technologies.


He’s @ronploof on Twitter and writes on Substack.
