Welcome back to Podtastic Audio! In today’s episode, I dive into the rise of AI in podcasting and its potential impact on the future of our beloved medium. From tools like ChatGPT that help me craft episode titles and show notes to Google's experimental Notebook LM, which can create entire podcasts from scratch, AI is everywhere.

I talk about my experiences with these tools, how they’ve helped me improve my workflow, and the growing concern over the flood of AI-generated content. We’ll explore the dangers of fake podcasts, how platforms like ListenNotes are fighting back, and what it means for indie podcasters like us.

Stick around as I even throw some of my own content into Google Notebook LM and see what happens when a fake AI-generated podcast reviews my show! Plus, I’ll share tips on how to make your podcast stand out in this new AI-driven world.

Don't miss this deep dive into the intersection of AI and podcasting – and trust me, it's going to be a wild ride! Podtastic Audio YouTube

In this episode of Podtastic Audio, I’m back after a brief break for something a bit personal—I had surgery for skin cancer on my left ear. It’s been quite the journey, but I’m happy to say I’m on the mend and feeling grateful for all the support I’ve received. In true podcaster fashion, even during recovery, I couldn’t help but jump back on the mic.

I also talk about one of my favorite movies, The Greatest Showman, and how its themes of embracing individuality, overcoming adversity, and dreaming big resonate deeply with us indie podcasters. I break down six powerful lessons from the movie that apply to podcasting, reminding us that being different is what helps us stand out, and authenticity is what keeps listeners coming back.

Whether you're facing your own personal challenges or simply looking to take your podcast to the next level, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical tips to keep you motivated. I may be down one ear for now, but my passion for podcasting hasn’t skipped a beat. Thanks for joining me!
