I have had to be the guinea pig on many projects that seemed interesting but ultimately didn’t pan out for the idea.
Recently I was informed about a website that turns a podcast using the RSS feed into a readable e-book ready to publish that used Generative AI to generate the book draft.
The person who informed me didn’t have a current podcast or the time to mess with it so they wanted me to test it out. I have done only minor, brief, podcasts and nothing really substantial but I wanted to give it a go anyway.
I didn’t have an RSS feed of my own, my other audio episodes only being on the NaPodPoMo RSS feed and such so I had to go through that process of creating a podcast channel on Power press, Filling the channel with podcast episodes, submitting the RSS to apple podcasts (After some brief editing and updating of account), and finally test out the podcast to book AI.
Well, because my podcast episodes were generally a minute or so long I was given a draft full of fanciful words, long sentences that embellished on pieces a bit too much, and generally just wasn’t the type of verbose language I would normally use in either text and voice.
Okay, so the AI had added in a bunch of hogwash to fill the ‘e-book’ page so short, minute long podcasts were out but going through the process certainly helped me figure out how the whole thing worked out and I informed the person who told me about it.
We both came to the conclusion that a longer podcast (5-10 minutes or more) would probably fit the proper requirements for the AI and what it generated to the ‘author’.
So if anyone noticed the 5 or so episodes I published on the website… This was the reason.
The website I was told was https://podtobook.ai/ . Do your research and figure out if this could be a useful tool worth looking at.

That’s all for now.
