Are Nerra Network episodes AI-generated?
Yes. We use AI tools for research, draft generation, and narration.
Humans govern the editorial process — deciding topics, verifying
accuracy, and enforcing standards. Read the full
AI Disclosure.
Who hosts the shows?
Nerra Network shows are produced by founder Patrick Novak in
Vancouver, Canada. Individual show pages describe each show's
editorial focus. See the About page.
How often are new episodes released?
Most shows publish daily. A few — Fascinating Frontiers, Planetterrian
Daily, Omni View, Models & Agents — alternate even/odd days.
Each show page lists its exact schedule.
Are there ads?
No. Nerra Network is independent, self-funded, and 100% ad-free.
No host-read ads, no programmatic mid-rolls, no sponsored segments.
How can I support the shows?
Subscribe on Apple Podcasts
or Spotify, leave a review (reviews significantly help
discoverability), share an episode you liked with a friend, and
join the weekly newsletter.
Can I download episodes for offline listening?
Yes. Every major podcast app supports offline downloads. You can
also download MP3s directly from each episode page on
nerranetwork.com.
Do you have transcripts?
Yes. Every episode has a written article counterpart on the blog,
with full transcripts, source links, and cited references. Look
for the Read transcript link on any summaries page.
What's your editorial stance?
We prioritize fresh content over length, transparent
sourcing over anonymous claims, and calm daily delivery over
breaking-news panic. Each show has its own editorial focus, but the
network-wide goal is signal over noise.
How do I report a factual error?
Email hello@nerranetwork.com
with the episode number and the specific claim. We correct errors in
the blog article and issue audio corrections in the following episode
when the error is significant.
Can I reuse Nerra Network content?
Short quotes with clear attribution to Nerra Network are welcome
and encouraged. Full-episode republishing requires written
permission. Details in the
Terms of Service.
Does Nerra Network track me?
We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation for aggregate
metrics, and consent banners for any advertising pixels. You can
decline both. Read the
privacy policy.
