About.
Pirated Audio is a bootleg podcast label. AI-assembled deep dives on people who built outside the system — made the same way. Long listens. No hot takes. No license.
Creating my own supply.
The podcasts I want don't exist. Twelve-hour reads on the philosophy of one subject, with the receipts, without the host trying to build a personal brand on top of it. The existing supply chain — podcast networks, book publishers, magazine editors — is too slow, too expensive, and too gatekept to ever make them.
So I stopped waiting. Pirated Audio uses AI to assemble the deep dives the industry won't fund and couldn't afford to. Purists call it theft. Napster was theft too. It was also the first time the supply met the actual demand.
That's the label. Demand creates its own supply. Every issue is one subject I've been reading, watching, and quoting for years. The method matches the subject — they built it anyway. So does this.
How an issue gets made.
A Four-Part Bootleg Pipeline
Rip
Rip transcripts from every major interview, podcast, article, and video for the subject. Years of primary source material, flattened into text.
Extract
Run the rips through Claude Code to pull every distinct concept the subject talks about. Group by theme. Tag the receipts.
Script
Turn the highest-signal concepts into episode scripts. Direct quotes. The philosophy in the subject's own words, with framing.
Press
Convert scripts to audio. Mix with light sample beds. Master with restraint. RSS, direct download, no middleman, no license.
Who's behind this.
I'm Dwayne Hogan. I'm passionate about using AI to 10x my creativity — so this is that, applied to a lane I care about more than most. I grew up on 90s East Coast hip-hop and I've been a personal-development obsessive for as long as I can remember. Nas, Jay, Premier, RZA on repeat; Naval, Godin, Hill in the bag; podcasts and audiobooks running every time I'm walking.
The subjects built it anyway. So did this.
The rappers I came up on weren't just musicians — they were founders, philosophers, students of leverage. They built entire careers outside the systems that said they couldn't. Pirated Audio takes them seriously the same way they took themselves seriously.
If you've got a subject you want me to dig into, say so. One-person curiosity plus a pirate pipeline scales further than you'd think.
Start with Issue 001.
