    <description><![CDATA[<p>Fire Council is Ken Cox's fictional campfire lodge for the arguments that shape the future. Each episode pulls a hard question into the circle and lets a rotating Council of dramatized voices fight it out: conscience, temptation, builders, providers, skeptics, operators, comedians, kings, founders, and strange technical witnesses when the room needs rails.</p>
<p>The show is AI-created media, produced by Ken Cox. The Council voices are fictional or dramatized interpretations for debate and story. They are not real historical people, public figures, endorsements, religious authority, or claims of identity. The point is not to pretend the voices are real. The point is to make the argument useful, funny, sharp, and alive.</p>]]></description>

          <itunes:summary>Fire Council is Ken Cox’s AI-created debate show for questions that deserve more than one answer. Around a fictional campfire, dramatized voices test ideas about technology, work, meaning, responsibility, temptation, and the future. The voices are fictionalized for argument and story; the goal is sharper thinking, useful tension, and a little fire.</itunes:summary>
