About this episode
The episode discusses Rachel's knee injury, Simon's baseball updates, and the implications of AI on creativity and mental health.
This week on the Cherrywood Podcast we address the elephant in the room… Rachel’s badly injured knee (crutches, brace, MRI pending… and a very painful “locking” knee 😬). Then we jump into my 50PlusRookie baseball journey with Kent Baseball Club — training updates, sore heels/Achilles worries, positions, gloves, and why it’s not “rounders”! We also get surprisingly deep on AI: the backlash from creatives, the future of video, voiceovers, trust online, and the mental health impact of “perfect” filtered/AI images. We finish with a quick Stonehenge chat (glaciers vs humans moving the bluestones) and a proper reality check on how little any of us truly know.#AI #Baseball #Podcast00:00 Intro + like/subscribe00:08 Rachel’s knee injury “elephant in the room”00:46 What happened at cricket warm-up (pop/crack, floor, brace, crutches)02:27 X-ray clear + waiting on MRI / ligaments03:34 Gutted to miss debut + “out for the season” banter04:18 Sponsor reel (De medichi Associates / Right at Home Medway / Clearwater Kent / James Howard PT)05:38 50PlusRookie update: training sessions, aches, PT work07:34 Achilles/heel worries + Ninja Warrior injury throwback10:00 Kent Baseball Club shoutouts +…
