AI in Podcasting
Using AI for podcasting can enhance various aspects of the podcasting process, from content creation to enhanced search engine results. In today’s episode we discuss some ways AI can be utilized in podcasting.
Today’s Hosts: Todd Cochrane and Mike Dell Things you can do with AI- Help with writing show notes. Generate detailed show notes, summaries and more automatically.
- Suggestions for episode titles.
- Transcripts: Text-to-speech (TTS)
- Social media: Check out our new partner, Momento AI
- Clips: Endless content
- AI can even become the host
- Quickly write show notes
- Get fresh and useful ideas for titles and topics: using AI to brainstorm ideas is one of the most useful ways to refresh your podcast
- Sounds or reads like a machine created it
- Wrong information (it is using existing info, even if it’s incorrect)
- Plagiarism worries: Generated content always has an origin point
- Bad for SEO: Google will be able to detect AI at some point
Not mentioned in this episode, Planet Money from NPR is working on a series of AI created podcast episodes. Learn more about that here and here.
While AI can bring numerous benefits to podcasting it’s essential to maintain a balance and to preserve the human touch. AI tools should enhance the podcasting process as opposed to replacing the human creativity and authenticity that make podcasts unique.

00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:03,720
If used correctly. It's, it's
a, a very interesting tool.
2
00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:08,880
And again, even though I had chat, g
p t write a summary from an article,
3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,800
I still worry about the
plagiarism situation here.
Then you have to go back and,
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,100
you know,
5
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:18,240
did it take two sentences out of the
article and put 'em in your summary.

Blueberry Podcasting.
Welcome. Let's dive in.
10
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:36,240
This is Todd Cochrane, CEO o
and co-founder of Blueberry.
11
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:40,920
And I'm Mike Dell, the VP of
Customer Relations here at Blueberry.
12
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:45,800
This week we're going to talk about
the ways you can use this newfangled AI
13
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:49,240
for your show and maybe
why you'll want not to.
14
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,800
So, Mike, ai, you know, it's, it's
the buzzword of 2023 for sure.
15
00:00:56,150 --> 00:01:00,280
Yeah, certainly seems that way
and it does a lot of neat stuff,
16
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:04,760
but how should we be using it
in podcasting at this point?
17
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:07,240
You know, I think there's a,
18
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:11,760
there's a whole bunch of companies that
have come up with a whole bunch of tools
19
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:13,240
and, uh,
20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,360
I've been playing with quite a lot of
them and some of them do things better
21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,200
than others and,
22
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:23,160
but I still think most of the
solutions are still kinda half baked.
23
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:27,690
But I've been playing pretty hard
using some tools just to see, you know,
24
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:31,210
get some results and being very careful
in editing and that type of stuff.
25
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:36,210
But I think we can really rely on AI to
26
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:41,050
help with things like show notes and
maybe episode titles and potentially
27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,810
transcripts, social media
clips, and even, well,
28
00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:49,850
I hope this never really happens, but
29
00:01:49,870 --> 00:01:51,450
to be a host. Yeah.
30
00:01:51,610 --> 00:01:52,570
I, I keep hear,
31
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:56,290
I keep hearing about the one where
they take Joe Rogan's voice and
32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,050
somehow with ai, make him
interview people that are dead or,
33
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:04,970
or aren't there, or whatever, and, and it,
34
00:02:05,070 --> 00:02:09,610
it sounds machine created, but you know,
that technology's gonna get better.
35
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:13,930
I think for my particular situation,
36
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:19,090
the way my show's laid out is I
talk about multiple topics during
37
00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:23,210
the show and I usually have
three or four lead topics,
38
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:27,210
and then one of those lead
topics is used as kind of my,
39
00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:30,290
my lead for my title for my episode.
40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,420
And what I've been doing is I've been
taking the specific article that I've been
41
00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:40,270
talking about and I've been
putting that into chat G B t
42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,200
I actually just, uh,
43
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:46,130
copying the whole text right out
of the article and then saying,
44
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:51,210
create a short one
paragraph summary and create
45
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:52,160
a, you know,
46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,010
five word title and it does a good
47
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:59,720
job summarizing those articles.
48
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:03,040
But then I get a little weirded out
because you've almost at that point,
49
00:03:04,930 --> 00:03:06,470
you know, if you're, if
you're following the rules,
50
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:08,910
you need to make sure that you attribute,
51
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:13,790
so what I've been doing now
is I say summary created from
52
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:19,340
an article and the link back
to the article and then I edit
53
00:03:19,340 --> 00:03:21,500
it whatever chat g p t has come up with,
54
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:25,540
I edit a little bit and add some
personalizations, a lead in,
55
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:30,620
a lead out so that I have, uh,
texts there and you know, if I'm,
56
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,660
I'm feeding it something, it seems
to get me pretty good titles and,
57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,380
and pretty good descriptions and keywords
and that kind of stuff just in just
58
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:44,140
straight chat G B T. And I
think from my use case, it,
59
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,420
it works pretty good because again,
I'm picking a specific topic,
60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,420
but I think a lot of podcasters
are potentially gonna wanna run
61
00:03:53,140 --> 00:03:55,380
a portion of their transcript
potentially through
62
00:03:57,110 --> 00:04:00,130
the AI to see if it can write a
good show summary. I, you know,
63
00:04:00,130 --> 00:04:04,410
one thing this could really fix though,
Mike, is the, the lack of show notes.
64
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:07,370
I mean, so many shows
have so little show notes.
65
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,210
Yeah. A lot of people just put a one liner
in there and that's it. And you know,
66
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,330
that doesn't help you
for s e or anything and
67
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,010
with chat G B T or any of
the other tools out there,
68
00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:25,810
it can give you some ideas anyway. The
thing, the thing that I worry about,
69
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:31,210
uh, with this is people relying
too much on it. So you, you know,
70
00:04:31,210 --> 00:04:34,690
you gotta feed it the right stuff
to get their, the right output.
71
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:38,410
And I think people have to be careful too,
72
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:41,530
especially whatever they're
using for source material.
73
00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:45,980
And you think people have to
remember about AI at this point?
74
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,980
It is a language model.
75
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,990
It is great for writing content that you
76
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:57,550
provide the input for, you
know, if, if I was, uh,
77
00:04:57,550 --> 00:05:01,520
going to say that I had
an episode about, um,
78
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:03,960
let's just use a historical, uh, figure.
79
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,520
Let's say I was gonna do a
podcast about Benjamin Franklin
80
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:11,240
and I talked about the
history of Benjamin Franklin,
81
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,630
then I asked chat G B T to write
82
00:05:17,130 --> 00:05:20,130
a history of Benjamin
Franklin. It may get it wrong,
83
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:25,840
it may not have a good input,
so you're gonna have to be very,
84
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:30,440
very careful if you're just asking it
to write a summary about a topic that
85
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,240
you've covered. And I think
there's high risk in that,
86
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:38,760
whereas I've been in my utilization
of it, of being able to use,
87
00:05:39,020 --> 00:05:39,480
you know,
88
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,350
a given set of texts that
was written by a reporter and
89
00:05:44,350 --> 00:05:48,670
being putting that into chat G B
T and asking it to write a summary
90
00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:53,230
and then accrediting that
summary back to the article.
91
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:57,640
I feel I'm meeting attribution
requirements at the same time
92
00:05:58,730 --> 00:06:02,680
disclosing that the summary came from
that particular article. Now I would,
93
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:06,600
if I had handwritten that summary
myself, which I used to do,
94
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:11,310
I may not have attributed it because I
did have it a link to the article later
95
00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:15,170
on, but it's because this is
a bit of an expanded summary.
96
00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:19,250
I almost feel obligated now to
actually do the attribution that way.
97
00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:22,690
Right, right. And uh, you
know, that reminds me,
98
00:06:22,690 --> 00:06:26,730
there was a story recently
about a lawyer who
99
00:06:27,710 --> 00:06:32,210
was ta doing a case and
wanted to have some similar
100
00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:37,170
cases in his brief and
he asked Chad g b t to
101
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,650
look up similar cases to
the case he was working on,
102
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:42,810
and it came up with all these cases
103
00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:46,610
and come to find out
none of them were real.
104
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,153
Whoa.
105
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:52,650
So it just, you know, took stuff
out of the air and made it up and,
106
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:56,330
you know, he's in big trouble
now cuz he turned in this, uh,
107
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,330
this court brief and signed it
108
00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:01,490
So you gotta be careful.
109
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,250
Yeah, I think, I think so.
110
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:04,743
You know, cuz it,
111
00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:09,930
it doesn't know the difference
between a spoof article on the
112
00:07:10,090 --> 00:07:14,490
internet and another article on
the internet that is truthful and,
113
00:07:15,070 --> 00:07:19,450
you know, they're, they're not that
good at it yet. So part of the,
114
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,050
part of the thing is you've gotta
verify everything that it came up with.
115
00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:27,090
I mean, you and Rob did,
uh, a demo where, you know,
116
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:32,010
you asked for a biography and it was
making up all kinds of crazy stuff.
117
00:07:32,260 --> 00:07:35,930
Right. Some of the stuff that was in Rob
Biles was actually about me. So it was,
118
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,790
that was kind of the weird part. So I
think it's one of those things, again,
119
00:07:40,890 --> 00:07:44,550
you have to, you know, use some
common sense here. I think, you know,
120
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:46,030
where I find the most useful,
121
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:50,830
and actually we just partnered with a
company out there called Memento. Uh,
122
00:07:50,830 --> 00:07:55,560
they're at Memento fm and
what I like their tool for is
123
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:57,880
after I published my episode,
124
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,590
they grab the RSS feed
and then ingest the audio.
125
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,860
And then what they do is the, their,
126
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:09,780
their platform analyzes the
content from the actual transcript
127
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:10,613
that it creates,
128
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,020
and then it basically allows
you then to make clips,
129
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,500
shorts stuff can go on
Twitter, Facebook, uh, YouTube,
130
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:24,900
Instagram, uh, all the def
different social destinations,
131
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,700
and you can set a template or have
a custom template and the text
132
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,380
is not always perfect and the
segments aren't always perfect,
133
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:39,460
but you can kinda drag the segment
pointer around a little bit to get it to
134
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,380
the right start point,
135
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:45,620
stop point or shorten it and
make it longer and then kick out,
136
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,940
uh, very, very quickly.
Uh, social promotion.
137
00:08:49,450 --> 00:08:53,900
Yeah. Like little video shorts and, and
whatnot. And it comes up with, you know,
138
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:56,400
stock video and stock pictures.
139
00:08:56,610 --> 00:08:57,380
Right.
140
00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:00,880
In the videos and they're formatted
right for each of the platforms.
141
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:01,920
It is slick.
142
00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:06,280
Yeah. And the thing I like about it too
is I would've never done that otherwise.
143
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:10,040
It's something I would've
never, I didn't have time for,
144
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,200
didn't have time to do shorts
or clips or anything like that.
145
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:18,480
But one thing that could be used is
someone has someone that's assisting them
146
00:09:18,950 --> 00:09:22,320
with their show. They could say,
Hey, go ahead and, uh, you know,
147
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:27,360
find five clips and do a clip
a day between now and the next
148
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,320
episode or, you know, and, and
basically keep the promotion going.
149
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:34,480
So I think that is, uh, where I see the,
150
00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:38,200
the best usage currently
with, with Momentum. And I,
151
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,680
I know there's a whole bunch of other
tools out there for sure. But, uh, again,
152
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640
everything's not quite
perfect at this point,
153
00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:48,280
and I think what's gonna happen
that's gonna evolve very,
154
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,840
very quickly and within a year, uh,
155
00:09:51,870 --> 00:09:55,320
most people are gonna be probably
using the next model of chat,
156
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,480
G B T and, you know, utilizing
that tool for inexpensively to,
157
00:10:00,780 --> 00:10:02,320
to help in their production of their show.
158
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,680
And I think maybe even production could
come into the fact where let's say
159
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,640
you're gonna do an interview with, uh,
160
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:12,440
an economist and maybe
they have a specific
161
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:14,583
forte.
162
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,300
You could ask chat g p t to
write 20 interview questions.
163
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:22,660
A not for that person,
but for an economist,
164
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,660
and then do your research and edit
those questions to your liking.
165
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,900
But it might just, you know, help feed
your brain and save you a little time.
166
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:35,060
Yeah, that's one of the things I use
chat G B T for is just getting ideas.
167
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,380
You know, I'll put in a subject and have
it write an article about the subject.
168
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:41,900
I'm not gonna use that article,
169
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,980
but I wanna see what it came up with and
that may give me an idea of what I want
170
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,700
to talk about. Right. And that,
171
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,340
and same thing with interview questions
and and whatnot. You know, of course I,
172
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:54,780
I like to, when I do interviews,
173
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:58,700
I like to just let the conversation
go where it went, but, you know,
174
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,100
sometimes you want key points,
175
00:11:00,310 --> 00:11:05,220
especially if you're talking to an expert
in a particular field and all that.
176
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,300
So yeah, pretty, pretty cool stuff.
177
00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:08,100
There's,
178
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,580
there's actually starting to be plugins
out there now that will actually,
179
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,730
you can, you can say, go over and look
at this specific LinkedIn profile per se.
180
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:17,943
Mm-hmm.
181
00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:23,120
You know, and create the same, same
type of thing. You, you give it,
182
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,040
you point it at a destination
to query and then it reads that
183
00:11:28,110 --> 00:11:32,870
page and then it can create a
summary or questions or maybe a
184
00:11:32,930 --> 00:11:36,560
bio. So I can see if, you
know, if you're reading a,
185
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:40,040
if a guest has not given
you their bio, uh, you know,
186
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,280
maybe you can self-generate one off
their LinkedIn profile. So it is, uh,
187
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,840
I think these kinds of things
just saves us a little time too.
188
00:11:47,570 --> 00:11:49,460
Yeah. One of the things
you've really, you know,
189
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:54,280
one of the best practices is make
sure you don't just cut paste that
190
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:58,880
can get you in trouble. So, you know,
you want to go in and edit it and,
191
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,120
you know, sometimes it
talks the way you wouldn't,
192
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:07,680
so you wanna kind of customize it, you
know, to, to sound like you wrote it.
193
00:12:08,740 --> 00:12:12,880
So when things for sure we're
gonna want to, uh, you know,
194
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:17,200
back check everything, but it is,
it helps you with, you know, it is,
195
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,320
I I agree it's going to make
it much easier for your Right.
196
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:24,670
Good show notes and again,
ideas for titles and topics,
197
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,100
and I always ask it like, write
me an s e o title, you know,
198
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,540
of five words for this
particular set of text.
199
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,140
And, you know, the, the results
have varied to be honest with you.
200
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:44,930
Right. But it gets you in the right
ballpark. Right. You know, sometimes,
201
00:12:45,070 --> 00:12:47,050
and you know, like I said, it's,
202
00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:50,850
it's not the cure-all for
everything and you know,
203
00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:55,850
maybe to some people it's a little
creepy
204
00:12:55,970 --> 00:13:00,730
I, I think it, if if used correctly,
it's, it's a, a very interesting tool.
205
00:13:01,470 --> 00:13:03,690
And again, it's, you know, just like the,
206
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,530
even though I had chat g p t
write a summary from an article,
207
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:12,730
I still worry about the
plagiarism situation here
because I read that and then I
208
00:13:12,730 --> 00:13:16,560
go back. So I've read
the article in my mind,
209
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,680
I kind of know the type of summary I want.
210
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:23,680
Maybe I kind of directed to write
that specific type of summary with
211
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,880
some antidotes, but then you
have to go back and, you know,
212
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:31,200
did it take two sentences out of the
article and put 'em in your summary.
213
00:13:32,180 --> 00:13:34,640
Um, that's where you have to
be careful on this plagiarism.
214
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:39,160
So that's why for me at least,
I'm saying summary derive from,
215
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:40,800
and then I give the attribution.
216
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,230
Right? Yeah. Then one of
the other things that,
217
00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:49,710
that I kind of hesitate about is SEO
218
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,260
is Google or the other
search engines at some point
219
00:13:56,110 --> 00:14:00,620
gonna be able to detect AI
and somehow downgrade your,
220
00:14:00,850 --> 00:14:02,020
your page score.
221
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:05,100
I think if you're doing
a copy and paste, maybe,
222
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,020
but I also take another step,
223
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:12,860
I take the summary that I get from
224
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,940
the chat G B T, and I
place that in Grammarly,
225
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,500
and then I let Grammarly have
a run on it and you know,
226
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,980
and I look at it, say, could I,
227
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:31,990
or would I have written
what that summary or
228
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:36,910
what that show note says, could I
have done that by myself? You know,
229
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:39,950
is it read like something I would've
wrote? Mm-hmm.
230
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:43,830
I think that's the approach you have to
take is when you get this output you,
231
00:14:44,020 --> 00:14:48,030
like you said Mike, you go back
and you'll look at it and say, uh,
232
00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:49,470
I wouldn't have used that word,
233
00:14:50,010 --> 00:14:53,600
or maybe I did use a different
sentence structure. You know,
234
00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:54,800
I'm not great in grammar,
235
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:58,200
thank God for Grammarly and
Grammarly is greatly improved,
236
00:14:58,260 --> 00:15:02,720
but even sometimes Grammarly
jumps back and forth between, uh,
237
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:06,640
two different things and it can't
quite decide how something should be
238
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,160
reordered. But I, I think
that, uh, many of us are using,
239
00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:11,920
have been using Grammarly for years.
240
00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:15,360
So I think some of this SEO stuff
might have shown up just by upon that,
241
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:17,440
but at this point, no, no, we'll see.
242
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:20,240
Yeah, well Grammarly might be, uh,
243
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:23,880
talking about using AI at some point. I'm.
244
00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:26,480
I'm sure they are to an extent already.
245
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:29,960
Right. Because, uh, yeah,
it's pretty amazing.
246
00:15:30,270 --> 00:15:35,160
Sometimes only thing I don't like is
when I purposely misspell something
247
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,760
it wants to change it, but,
uh, you know,
248
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:44,520
as far as AI stuff goes, uh, you
know, I'm skeptical, but, uh,
249
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,873
I think,
250
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,120
I think overall it'll be a good
thing for a lot of creators and
251
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,800
could be a bad thing for some creators,
you know, so if you could, uh,
252
00:15:56,490 --> 00:15:57,400
throw your, uh,
253
00:15:57,450 --> 00:16:01,640
audio in a something like that and
have it just edit the thing for you,
254
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:06,640
well that's gonna be tough
for some audio editors to,
255
00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:07,640
uh, compete with.
256
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,480
I I think there is,
257
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:13,800
you are already seeing it happening
with some of the platforms out there.
258
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,400
They're already starting to apply some
being able to automatically take out, uh,
259
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:21,520
os and ums and tighten up dead air.
260
00:16:22,060 --> 00:16:24,480
All that technology is not necessarily ai,
261
00:16:24,580 --> 00:16:27,240
but I think it's only gonna
get improved over time.
262
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:32,560
Yeah. We've been playing with another
one, uh, another AI thing which was,
263
00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:37,440
is kind of a competitor
for a phonic and actually
264
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:41,160
used it on the episode with
Aaron talking about artwork.
265
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:46,760
He was using a, a microphone that
wasn't quite up to par, which, you know,
266
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,240
he sounded okay, uh,
267
00:16:48,260 --> 00:16:51,680
but ran it through this thing
and it made a lot of difference.
268
00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:54,000
So that's, you know, another,
269
00:16:54,110 --> 00:16:58,600
another way AI can be used
and this company that, uh,
270
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:01,080
is doing it, I think
it's called in Sounds,
271
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:07,210
and they use AI to figure
out how to make the
272
00:17:07,210 --> 00:17:12,090
audio sound better. It
doesn't edit the audio per se,
273
00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:15,130
it just levels it and makes
sure that it, you know,
274
00:17:15,130 --> 00:17:18,090
some of the background is gone.
It's, it's, it's pretty ingenious.
275
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,850
I've been playing with it.
Uh, again, like I said,
276
00:17:20,850 --> 00:17:25,570
we used it on Aaron's audio a
couple episodes ago and I, the,
277
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:27,250
the results were pretty amazing.
278
00:17:28,490 --> 00:17:32,130
I think overall it's gonna be pretty
game changing over time. I think, uh,
279
00:17:32,290 --> 00:17:34,050
everyone's jobs are
gonna be affected by it.
280
00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:37,610
Production's gonna be affected
by it in, I'm finding now though,
281
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:42,560
that I'm taking more time to produce my
episode because I'm going through some
282
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,160
of these extra steps. So it doesn't
necessarily gonna lighten your workload,
283
00:17:47,260 --> 00:17:49,040
but maybe the end product will be better.
284
00:17:49,530 --> 00:17:51,600
Right, yeah. Because
like I said, you know,
285
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:56,760
AI is just computers and they
can only do what they can
286
00:17:56,780 --> 00:17:58,480
do for now, but uh,
287
00:17:59,510 --> 00:18:02,320
it's gonna get better as time goes on.
288
00:18:03,340 --> 00:18:06,520
So how are you using AI
as a listening audience?
289
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:09,000
We'd love to hear from
you if you are. Yeah.
290
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,833
Definitely.
291
00:18:10,030 --> 00:18:11,880
Drop us a note and, uh,
292
00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:16,520
let us know how you're using AI in your
show and has it been game changing for
293
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,590
you and, and maybe you have a tip for us.
294
00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:25,390
You and I had a demo of somebody
using AI for a lot of things.
295
00:18:26,170 --> 00:18:27,670
He was just doing it on his phone.
296
00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:31,950
We were at a party
that was just downright impressive.
297
00:18:32,690 --> 00:18:34,870
Uh, so the more you get skilled at it,
298
00:18:35,210 --> 00:18:39,990
the better it can get as well, cuz you
know, you gotta ask it the right thing.
299
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:45,030
All right, I guess it's gonna make
it a wrap for our segment on ai.
300
00:18:45,410 --> 00:18:48,630
