Shownotes

Today we’re unpacking a world of AI tools and their applications in podcasting. I start by asking ChatGPT what the top uses for ChatGPT (and you'll be surprised) are.

We also discuss the crucial balance between leveraging AI for efficiency and maintaining the credibility and trust of your audience. If you lose your integrity, you may never get it back.

Above all, NEVER have AI make content that is made public without human interaction.

2024 Audience Survey

Transcripts

Speaker:

I am lucky enough to hang out with guys like Craig Van Slyke

Speaker:

from AI Goes TO College, Mike Russell who I've known for years from

Speaker:

Music Radio Creative, and, of course, Larry Roberts from Red Hat Media.

Speaker:

And these guys are all about AI. And when AI first

Speaker:

came on the scene, I was, like, not quite so sure about this.

Speaker:

And, of course, they all said, hey. This is the worst it's gonna be.

Speaker:

And it has been getting better. And there are definitely some things you can

Speaker:

do with AI that I'm gonna share today. And and there are definitely some things

Speaker:

you don't wanna do with AI. And I unfortunately see this quite a

Speaker:

bit. And so this is probably gonna be a topic I

Speaker:

come back to on a frequent basis. But today, I found some cool things you

Speaker:

can do with AI that I had no idea that could help your

Speaker:

podcast. Let's start the show. The School

Speaker:

Podcasting since 2,000 and 5. I am your

Speaker:

award winning hall of fame podcast coach, Dave Jackson. Thanking you

Speaker:

so much for tuning in. If you're new to the show, I'm super happy

Speaker:

that you're here. This is where I help you plan. I help you launch. I

Speaker:

help you grow. And if you want to monetize your podcast,

Speaker:

my website school of podcasting.com. Use the

Speaker:

coupon code listener when you sign up for either a monthly or

Speaker:

yearly subscription. And so, yeah. We are talking about

Speaker:

AI today And I am gonna say

Speaker:

right up here, I am by no means an AI expert. That's kinda why

Speaker:

I'm doing this. I'm approaching this as I wanna learn more about

Speaker:

this. My background is in software. I taught a

Speaker:

lot of Microsoft Office over the years. And

Speaker:

now, you know, obviously, I've transitioned into podcasting. But I've

Speaker:

always known that if you were not learning, you

Speaker:

were going backwards in the world. That's the way it is. And so I've always

Speaker:

known I gotta get up to speed on some of this AI stuff or I'm

Speaker:

gonna be lost because I don't think AI is going to take our jobs. I

Speaker:

think your job is going to be taken by somebody who knows how to use

Speaker:

AI. That's the way I view this. And I was like, I better get up

Speaker:

to speed at least a little bit on this. And it's one of those things,

Speaker:

like all software, the minute you learn it, you're

Speaker:

out of date. And so we're gonna talk about some things today. I'm

Speaker:

gonna explain how I used to do a show, and I

Speaker:

would basically work on it for about 4 to 5 hours. And

Speaker:

that's down to about 90 minutes using AI.

Speaker:

So that's coming up. But the first thing, what the heck is

Speaker:

AI, artificial intelligence? I kinda like to call

Speaker:

it assisted intelligence. But ChatGPT

Speaker:

is based on these things called large language models. And

Speaker:

in a nutshell, it's really good at predicting what the

Speaker:

next word should be. That's really it in a nutshell. And,

Speaker:

again, I'm not I'm trying to boil this down. But I am a musician. I've

Speaker:

played the guitar since I was a a wee lad. And I'm very

Speaker:

good at turning on the radio and being able to play something, figure

Speaker:

out what key we're in, and then I can predict just by basically

Speaker:

the style of music where it's gonna go. And that's

Speaker:

basically what these tools are doing. They're like, hey. They just

Speaker:

said the word or they ended a sentence with this.

Speaker:

I predict we need a question mark here. It's really what they're doing in a

Speaker:

nutshell. And, again, this is my very limited knowledge. But from what I understand,

Speaker:

I think I'm in the ballpark with that answer. And so one of the

Speaker:

things you have to be worried about

Speaker:

is when you use this for research, especially if

Speaker:

you're trying to stay up to date on what happened

Speaker:

now kind of things. Because I asked chatgpt

Speaker:

how far back does your knowledge go? Like, I don't

Speaker:

wanna ask it what's the best microphone if its knowledge goes back

Speaker:

to 2020 because it'll be telling me something that, like, no. No. No. No.

Speaker:

There's a much better, you know, mobile clip on microphone than one that was

Speaker:

out in 2020. So what I've done is I've used

Speaker:

artificial intelligence, and I realized that ChatGPT can talk to me

Speaker:

now, but I haven't turned that on yet. And so I

Speaker:

asked ChatGPT a couple of questions, and I grabbed its answers and

Speaker:

ran it through a thing called 11 Labs where you can basically use

Speaker:

these premade voices. And today, I'm using Brian

Speaker:

because I thought Brian sounded okay. And so I asked it.

Speaker:

I go, well, tell me how far back does your database go? My language model's

Speaker:

knowledge goes back as far as prehistory, including ancient civilizations,

Speaker:

history, literature, and science. However, my training data

Speaker:

includes a focus on written works, historical documents, and

Speaker:

data primarily up until September 2021. Therefore,

Speaker:

I can discuss ancient history as well as modern events up to that

Speaker:

point with some additional data until my cutoff in

Speaker:

2023. Anything beyond this time frame, I

Speaker:

would need to look up through browsing. So depending on what you're doing,

Speaker:

sometimes a year or 2, or if we go back to

Speaker:

2021, 3 years, sometimes not much happens.

Speaker:

But if you're in a technology field, there's a lot that can happen in

Speaker:

3 years. So I just asked it. I'm like, well, tell me what are the

Speaker:

top ten things people use you for? People use me for a wide

Speaker:

variety of tasks, and the top ten tasks I often perform include,

Speaker:

number 1, answering questions, providing information,

Speaker:

explanations, and in-depth responses on a vast array of

Speaker:

topics like history, science, technology, and

Speaker:

general knowledge. And I'm not sure that would be a use

Speaker:

because ChatCPT doesn't cite its sources. Later,

Speaker:

I'll tell you about a tool I found that does cite its source, and it's

Speaker:

actually pretty dang cool. Let's go to number 2. Number 2,

Speaker:

writing assistance. Helping with writing tasks such as essays,

Speaker:

emails, creative stories, articles, reports, blog

Speaker:

posts, or social media content. I've used ChatTP to do that,

Speaker:

and it's actually pretty cool. Number 3, programming.

Speaker:

Help. Assisting with coding, debugging, writing

Speaker:

scripts, and explaining programming concepts in various languages

Speaker:

like Python, JavaScript, and others. Now that is not my

Speaker:

jam. I'm not a coder. In fact, I hate coding. And but

Speaker:

the fact that it can do this and I've heard others say, yeah. It's actually

Speaker:

pretty good at this. Number 4, research assistance.

Speaker:

Summarizing articles, explaining complex research papers,

Speaker:

or helping with preliminary research on specific topics. See, this is

Speaker:

another one that makes me a little nervous. So I might start here. And if

Speaker:

it says something really cool, I'm then going to have to Google whatever it

Speaker:

just told me so I can figure out what the source of that is. And,

Speaker:

again, I'll talk about a tool that gives the sources that's actually pretty cool. Number

Speaker:

5, language translation, including grammar

Speaker:

explanations and vocabulary help. You'll also notice that Chat GPT is

Speaker:

very chatty, and so I'm cutting some of these answers down because he goes way

Speaker:

in-depth on that stuff. Number 6, creative

Speaker:

brainstorming. I've used it for this. It's pretty amazing when I go, hey, I've got

Speaker:

these 7 steps to do blank. Am I missing anything? And it'll come up with

Speaker:

extra ones that I hadn't thought of. Number 7, personal

Speaker:

productivity. And when I heard this, my brain went What? What? What? And

Speaker:

so I asked him, like, wait. What do you mean productivity? How how would

Speaker:

that work? Sure. Here are some of the key ways I contribute to

Speaker:

improving personal productivity. Task prioritization.

Speaker:

I help users organize their tasks into a to do list. I can

Speaker:

also help prioritize tasks using systems like the Eisenhower matrix

Speaker:

or ABC prioritization. Time blocking,

Speaker:

suggesting ways to allocate time slots for specific tasks based on

Speaker:

deadlines and importance, ensuring productivity without

Speaker:

burnout. I assist in creating smart goals to

Speaker:

ensure that users have clear, actionable objectives.

Speaker:

I help track goals over time by reviewing accomplishments,

Speaker:

encouraging reflection, and reminding users of key tasks.

Speaker:

Time management techniques. I recommend strategies like the

Speaker:

Pomodoro technique and offer suggestions on how to implement

Speaker:

it. And he went on for, like, another 4 minutes. And so I had

Speaker:

no idea. Again, I prefer the a

Speaker:

in AI to be assisted intelligence. And so right

Speaker:

now, I have it set up. It's supposed to remind me at

Speaker:

3:30 if my show notes aren't done, and I'm doing this

Speaker:

differently. I've already kind of figured out what I'm gonna talk about, and I'm

Speaker:

already into recording. So that'll be fun. But and the way

Speaker:

it nudges you, it doesn't, like, send you a text message, at least. I'm

Speaker:

sure it probably can, but I don't know. But for me, I would have

Speaker:

to leave this open, and then it will basically

Speaker:

pop up a little bloop. Hey. Are you done yet? I guess. I'm doing this

Speaker:

as we go along. But let's go back to the list of things you can

Speaker:

get Chatgpt to do. And, again, we're gonna get more than

Speaker:

Chat GPT in just a bit. Number 8, tutoring and education.

Speaker:

Mom, can you help me with my homework? No. Just ask Chat GPT.

Speaker:

Number 9, emotional support and reflective journaling. And, again, my

Speaker:

brain said What? What? What? Providing guidance for

Speaker:

personal reflection, offering empathetic support, or acting as a

Speaker:

tool for mental wellness through journaling and self reflection. I'm a

Speaker:

big fan of journaling. Have had a diary since I was a wee lad, but

Speaker:

that's interesting. Number 10. Entertainment.

Speaker:

Engaging users in fun activities like storytelling, word

Speaker:

games, trivia, creating prompts for art, or answering

Speaker:

thought provoking what if scenarios. So from the horse's

Speaker:

mouth, that's the top ten things that people are using ChatGPT

Speaker:

for. If you go to open.ai/chatgpt,

Speaker:

you basically click there, and you don't have to worry because you're talking to

Speaker:

a robot. You can just say, what's the best way to prompt

Speaker:

you to get you to do such and such? And it'll say this.

Speaker:

Like, you can actually use chat GPT to teach you

Speaker:

how to use chat GPT. It's very, very meta. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah. So I've already mentioned this before. The one thing that

Speaker:

I am worried about that I personally, this is just my

Speaker:

opinion, wouldn't do, I don't know that would say, write me

Speaker:

a script about using AI in podcasting

Speaker:

and then just read it verbatim. I have seen an article. I've

Speaker:

probably mentioned this before. It was about

Speaker:

podcasting, and it said there was a discoverability problem with

Speaker:

podcasting, which side note, no, there's not. And it said this

Speaker:

went back to, like, the nineties. And And I'm like, well, that's interesting because

Speaker:

podcasting really didn't come along till about 2000

Speaker:

ish. 2004 is what I usually cite. But,

Speaker:

yeah. And what happened then is every

Speaker:

blog on that website lost its credibility.

Speaker:

I always say there are 2 things that every podcaster starts with, no

Speaker:

audience and credibility. And when you take

Speaker:

something for its word that's artificial and sometimes they call these

Speaker:

hallucinations because if it does know the answer, hey. I'll just make one up.

Speaker:

And if that comes out of your mouth, you

Speaker:

better make sure that's the truth. Because the one thing

Speaker:

that, especially now, we're gonna hear in the US for the next

Speaker:

50 some days is a lot of lies. We're in a election

Speaker:

series, and everybody's lying out there, you know. And,

Speaker:

yeah, it's hard to find the truth. And that's why it's actually there have been

Speaker:

reports. People trust podcasters more than politicians because

Speaker:

we speak the truth. So make sure that the words coming

Speaker:

out of your mouth are the truth because when you lose your credibility,

Speaker:

that's a bad thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, today,

Speaker:

I let you know, hey. This is an artificial voice. I think if you do

Speaker:

that, if you're gonna use something like 11 Labs, I'll have the links in the

Speaker:

show notes for that because there is an affiliate program for 11 Labs. It's only

Speaker:

$5 a month. And my buddy, Mark, I

Speaker:

know him from podcastbranding.co, but he also does a podcast

Speaker:

about a TV show. And he said he's actually getting more

Speaker:

interaction with his audience because and this is a real thing.

Speaker:

Not everybody loves the sound of their voice. And so when you say, hey. It's

Speaker:

a podcast, you have to send in your voice.

Speaker:

Like, here, use something like the building voice mail tool of PodPage

Speaker:

or SpeakPipe or whatever. Some people don't really wanna have their voice in

Speaker:

the show. And so Mark said, hey. If you send in

Speaker:

an email, I will have 11 Labs do this. And

Speaker:

here's what he said. But, yeah, it it's really helped out. And as I said,

Speaker:

a lot of people have reached out and said, thank you so much for letting

Speaker:

me do this because now I could be a part of your community. I've always

Speaker:

wanted to be, but I I never felt comfortable, with my voice.

Speaker:

I didn't wanna submit my voice. Yeah. This is is great for them. It opens

Speaker:

up a new venue. If you don't feel like reading because I got sick and

Speaker:

tired of reading emails and stumbling over words and stuff and especially the

Speaker:

poorly written ones. And it's funny because the AI voice will read the poorly

Speaker:

written ones just as well. I mean, they're still poorly written, but the AI

Speaker:

voice does a great job reading them. So And so for me, I think as

Speaker:

long as you let your audience know either before or

Speaker:

after that, hey. That's an AI generated voice. I think

Speaker:

you're good. It's when you pass it off as a real person,

Speaker:

and they go, because especially the youngins, the young

Speaker:

kids can, man, they smell AI voices like a bloodhound, and

Speaker:

they'll go, oh, this person is trying to pull the wool over our eyes, and

Speaker:

there goes the integrity right out the window. Let's talk

Speaker:

about the 18,000,000 AI tools out there that

Speaker:

you can use for a podcast. And here's one

Speaker:

thing I wanna say upfront. I think it depends on your show. I

Speaker:

know. It's podcasting, and the answer is it depends. Yeah. It

Speaker:

depends. Let me give you an example. I play with CapShow.

Speaker:

I've had Deidre on the show, and I did one episode. I forget which one

Speaker:

it was, but, you know, this show normally has multiple topics in it.

Speaker:

And this was one where the whole show was about one topic. And I

Speaker:

threw it into CapShow, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I went

Speaker:

to the blog post of it and used the blog post for my show

Speaker:

notes. It even told me, like, insert image here with

Speaker:

somebody doing such and such. So I went to Canva, typed that in,

Speaker:

found the it was it was amazing because that tool

Speaker:

was made to kinda help market your show. And I was like,

Speaker:

wow. That's great. Now for the record, I don't really use

Speaker:

CapShow that much. When I have a situation like

Speaker:

that, it works brilliantly. I tried CapShow

Speaker:

on a episode I did of the podcast Hot

Speaker:

Seat, link in the show notes, and I was

Speaker:

helping someone who did a legal podcast,

Speaker:

and it's very much an education like. Here's the things that this person

Speaker:

could publish on their show, and here are the things they did that were amazing.

Speaker:

Right? That's what I wanted, a summary of what was good and what was bad.

Speaker:

And instead, it spit out a thing on how to market your

Speaker:

legal podcast. And I was like, yep. Not really helpful.

Speaker:

But CapShow has a really cool community, and they have a lot of

Speaker:

education. And so why am I still a Cap Show member?

Speaker:

For those times when I have a single subject, so if I'm doing something

Speaker:

like for your podcast consultant, which are short shows with one

Speaker:

topic, I will use it for that. But for this

Speaker:

show, we're ask the podcast coach. And for the record, I do a show

Speaker:

called ask the podcast coach. It's 90 minutes. It's live

Speaker:

q and a with myself and Jim Collison. You can find that at ask the

Speaker:

podcast coach. And no AI tool knows what to do with that.

Speaker:

Because in 90 minutes, we will cover 15

Speaker:

different subjects, and AI just goes, ah,

Speaker:

because it can't find a common theme. So there are times when

Speaker:

AI just goes, I don't know. And that's where it's funny.

Speaker:

I'll I'll upload that file, and it'll give me topics. And none of the topics

Speaker:

are based on what I really wanna use. Because with that show, when you have

Speaker:

multiple topics, you can't just go, the title

Speaker:

is topic a, topic b, topic b. It's not yeah. It's not gonna work. So

Speaker:

I figure out what's the topic that's gonna make people click the

Speaker:

most. And that's what I use for the title. So there are times

Speaker:

when AI is smart, but you're giving it stuff that is like, it's not designed

Speaker:

to do that. So there are tools. I use Cast Magic.

Speaker:

And Cast Magic, full disclosure, I bought on AppSumo. I got

Speaker:

a lifetime deal on that. And it keeps adding more and more and

Speaker:

more features, and most of them, I never use.

Speaker:

And so it's I like that tool because I paid for it once.

Speaker:

If I was paying monthly for it because most of the stuff, if I'm gonna

Speaker:

be honest here, I look at the titles and go, meh.

Speaker:

Like, it's not like, oh, that's amazing. And then I'll look at the opening

Speaker:

thing. And I often have to say, write this in first person, not third person

Speaker:

because it's weird when Dave Jackson talks about Dave Jackson. I'm like, no. No. No.

Speaker:

Write this in first person. So it seems like I have a lot to

Speaker:

tweak. And this is my whole point on most of these automated

Speaker:

tools is if you have a

Speaker:

creative brain and the ability to type,

Speaker:

I'm not sure they're really saving me any time. Now

Speaker:

when I say that, if you're a person that doesn't have

Speaker:

that marketing gene, that doesn't mean you're not smart. That means you

Speaker:

have skills in other areas, and that's where this may come in handy. If you're

Speaker:

like, Dave, I hunt and peck when I type. This may come in

Speaker:

very handy. So your mileage may vary. For

Speaker:

me, someone who knows how to type,

Speaker:

and thank god for AI as in, you know, the spell

Speaker:

checker in Microsoft Word and the other AI. What does it

Speaker:

work? Grammarly. Thank god for Grammarly. That's AI in a way.

Speaker:

Right? It cleans me up. But if you're a person that's like,

Speaker:

yeah. I'm not as creative. I'm more of a logical thinker, then

Speaker:

this might be great for you. If you're like Dave, I hunt and pack, then

Speaker:

these tools might be great for you. Almost all of them have some sort of

Speaker:

free plan that you can go in. Like, I know pod squeeze. I think you

Speaker:

can do one free episode a month. And if Swell AI has one free episode

Speaker:

a month, you could get a bunch of these and never pay for any of

Speaker:

them in a way. But I just the key, and I'm gonna

Speaker:

keep saying this, is a, never

Speaker:

ever copy and paste without reading it because you could

Speaker:

shoot your integrity. And these might be brilliant for

Speaker:

you. For me, I use them and go, yeah.

Speaker:

Okay. And, also, I love the fact that look. I'm in my

Speaker:

late fifties. And some of this stuff, it wants me to write where 80%

Speaker:

of the text are emojis. And I'm like, yeah. That doesn't really fit my vibe.

Speaker:

And maybe there's a way I could go in and

Speaker:

add some additional prompts, add some additional background. I know with chat

Speaker:

gbt, you can go in and say who you are, and

Speaker:

you can say who you're talking to. And it will kind

Speaker:

of give you better answers. So as always, you know, garbage in,

Speaker:

garbage out. And when you just wanted to like, I just wanna type

Speaker:

3 things and have it spit out something that's gonna give me 10,000

Speaker:

downloads, that's not really what it's designed to do. So let's talk

Speaker:

about some things that I do love. Now you could do this

Speaker:

in probably multiple tools, but this is a way I discovered

Speaker:

it in Otter, dotai, I believe, is that one. This is

Speaker:

just primarily started off as a transcription tool. And

Speaker:

once it transcribes it, you can then ask it questions

Speaker:

as is Cash Magic, as is all of these. And so with Ask the

Speaker:

Podcast Coach, I got 90 minutes. And often, I

Speaker:

will answer a question with resources. Like, oh, what's the best microphone?

Speaker:

It's this. What's the best tool for this? It's this.

Speaker:

And after 90 minutes, I've got a boatload of links that

Speaker:

I need to put into my show notes. And this is one that I was

Speaker:

like, now we're talking. And so what I

Speaker:

do is I will say, make a list of

Speaker:

all the companies mentioned in this episode, and it'll spit them

Speaker:

out. And then I'll also ask it, please make a list of all

Speaker:

the URLs mentioned in this website. In between those 2,

Speaker:

I can figure out what I mentioned and put those links in

Speaker:

the show notes because we've talked about this

Speaker:

before. Show notes, most of the time when people go to

Speaker:

them is because you mentioned something that was really, really cool,

Speaker:

and they wanna go find out more information. And when there's no link,

Speaker:

you will get a sternly worded letter. So that's a cool

Speaker:

tool I use for a cool strategy for

Speaker:

show notes. Yay. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you're doing a kinda show

Speaker:

where you wanna comment on what somebody said in another show,

Speaker:

and so you know it's somewhere in this hour long podcast.

Speaker:

This is where and it's not really AI. This is just using technology.

Speaker:

You could have that file transcribed, and then you know

Speaker:

they mentioned the purple handled such and such.

Speaker:

And you're like, oh. And you can go into the transcript, find

Speaker:

purple handle, and then see, oh, that's at the 18 minute

Speaker:

37 second mark. And you just saved yourself a whole lot of time

Speaker:

trying to figure out where is this so I can make a clip. Yay. Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah. Let's talk about Spinwriters.

Speaker:

I signed up at Spinriders. They give you a 5 day trial, and I'm

Speaker:

probably not gonna use this one. But this is again

Speaker:

think about how politicians are winning right now. And I don't care if you're red

Speaker:

or blue or purple or whatever. They're telling you exactly what you wanna

Speaker:

hear. I'm gonna lower taxes. I'm gonna have you make more money. I'm

Speaker:

gonna make more jobs. I'm going to rub your

Speaker:

shoulders and and tell you you're great. Right? They just tell you anything you wanna

Speaker:

hear so that you vote for them. And sometimes these AI tools are

Speaker:

like, you can quit your job in 6 weeks. Joe

Speaker:

Schmo made a $1,000,000 selling blah blah blah

Speaker:

for and you're just like, wow. And

Speaker:

so somebody told me about Spinwriter, and I checked it

Speaker:

out. And the idea here is as you go in, and I went in and

Speaker:

said, hey. Podcast growth. What do you got? And it spit out

Speaker:

a bunch of stuff that was not podcast growth. And it was

Speaker:

it it scanned, like, 12,000 articles.

Speaker:

And the idea is you go, oh, well, this article is

Speaker:

almost what I was talking about. Click here, and then it rewrites

Speaker:

it. And you can then go in, and it has

Speaker:

this some sort of tool that switches out adverbs

Speaker:

or adjectives so that it's, you know, SEO, blah blah. It

Speaker:

slices it, dices it, even julienne's. And so

Speaker:

I had it eventually spit out an article. It's like because I just wanna see

Speaker:

my favorite was it kept referring to webmasters. Hey, webmaster.

Speaker:

Do you want more traffic to your website? And I was like, I don't know.

Speaker:

We've used that phrase anymore. But I took the PDF that it spit

Speaker:

it out, and I threw it into this other thing I wanted to talk about,

Speaker:

which is actually interesting. We talk about research. How do I

Speaker:

research quickly? This Google notebook is really

Speaker:

interesting. So I upload this PDF written by

Speaker:

Spinwriter. And, also, that's the other one. This is another thing that

Speaker:

drives me nuts. And we're going to make 500, you

Speaker:

know, clips, articles based on such and such. And we've got

Speaker:

live people that can help you, which makes it sound good. But if you I

Speaker:

need live people to what? Fix the crap that you handed me? I don't know.

Speaker:

But when somebody goes, we can give you 500 clips from this

Speaker:

large thing. I'm like, yeah. But how many of those are good? We

Speaker:

give you 100 clips. Great. How many of those are good? Or did you

Speaker:

just give me a job where I have to sift through the 97 bad clips

Speaker:

to get to the 3 good ones? But, anyway, I uploaded this

Speaker:

PDF and to Google notebook, and they

Speaker:

have these 2 fairly convincing voices

Speaker:

that then take my PDF and read it to me like it's a

Speaker:

podcast. So you're out there and you're thinking about jumping into this whole

Speaker:

world of podcasting. And I get it. There's a lot of buzz. Right?

Speaker:

But is it really possible to turn your voice,

Speaker:

your ideas, into a paycheck? Is podcasting

Speaker:

a real deal? Or is it just, you know, another one of those online

Speaker:

trends? Well, today, we are diving into Podcast Revenue or Perish.

Speaker:

So Podcast Revenue or Perish was the headline that the

Speaker:

Spinwriter came up with. And, also, not a bad hook.

Speaker:

Is it a real deal, or can you actually make some money with this thing?

Speaker:

To see if it can give us some answers. Maybe help us figure out if

Speaker:

podcasting is that golden ticket some people claim it to be. You know what I

Speaker:

find really interesting is how this article captures that early energy

Speaker:

of podcasting even though it was written a while back. Yeah. Like the Wild West.

Speaker:

And realized this was an article from Spinwriter that it expects me to put

Speaker:

on a website to position me as a thought leader even

Speaker:

though, you know, Kyle and Sheila just said, yeah. This sounds a little

Speaker:

old. Before everyone and their grandma had a podcast. Right. It

Speaker:

compares the excitement around podcasting to what was happening with

Speaker:

blogging way back when. Okay. I see where you're going with this. Like, hinting at

Speaker:

a similar kind of boom. Right? Exactly. A surge of

Speaker:

potential. And for anyone looking to actually make money from their

Speaker:

podcast, the article points to this high income demographic

Speaker:

that's listening. Music to any entrepreneur's ears. So I

Speaker:

don't know who these people are. I wanna call them Kyle and

Speaker:

Sheila, maybe. They have their chemistry. They're rolling right along. But the

Speaker:

other thing, if I were to let this play, it said things

Speaker:

like find your niche, know who your audience

Speaker:

is. And, again, this is one of my key

Speaker:

points here. I always say, be careful when you

Speaker:

are using AI to position yourself as an

Speaker:

expert. My favorite is when I have somebody goes, I want to be

Speaker:

a thought leader a thought leader,

Speaker:

and I'm going to have chat gpt write a script. Because

Speaker:

chat gpt just said, yeah. I after 2023, I'm kinda out

Speaker:

of content. And so I want to be a thought leader

Speaker:

by using regurgitated stuff from the Internet. That to

Speaker:

me is a bit of a head scratcher. But when I heard this, I

Speaker:

could listen to that. And I thought, I have all these

Speaker:

PDFs about marketing and such. And the

Speaker:

question I have to ask myself now is because you're like, oh, it's new and

Speaker:

shiny. But if the idea is using this for research,

Speaker:

great. Can I read faster than I listen?

Speaker:

And if I want to make notes, if I go, oh, that's actually really good.

Speaker:

I wanna mention this in my podcast. Is it easier to do that from a

Speaker:

PDF, or is it easier to do it in

Speaker:

a audio player? That's you have to think about what's the

Speaker:

end goal of this. But I was like, In terms of before I

Speaker:

throw out this PDF, I should probably get some sort

Speaker:

of summary to make sure I'm not missing anything. Now realize, all

Speaker:

the PDFs you get as part of some sort of lead magnet by

Speaker:

getting on someone's email is always gonna have a marketing slant. So somewhere in there,

Speaker:

you're gonna get a pitch. But I was like, that's an interesting tool,

Speaker:

and I'll be interested to see how many people use Kyle and

Speaker:

Sheila to make a podcast. Because if you don't feel like talking

Speaker:

into a microphone, you can let Kyle and Sheila. And so are

Speaker:

we eventually gonna give Kyle and Sheila some sort of podcast award?

Speaker:

Like, and the winner in best technology, Kyle and Sheila from the Hey We're

Speaker:

All Fake show. That that would be interesting. The school of

Speaker:

podcasting. If you like plugins, my

Speaker:

buddy, Mike Russell, has a new channel on YouTube called

Speaker:

Creator Magic. And I'll put a link to this video where he points out

Speaker:

a free plugin that you can use in Audacity or

Speaker:

Hindenburg or whatever you're using. And where the built in noise

Speaker:

tool in Audacity is meh. Right? Better than

Speaker:

nothing. It's free. What are you gonna do? This is a free plugin that does

Speaker:

a much better job at removing noise. So if you have

Speaker:

somebody who has a really boomy room or something like that,

Speaker:

you can use this plug in. And, technically, that plug in

Speaker:

is AI. Yay. Yeah. Yeah. The next

Speaker:

tool I have a love hate relationship with, and

Speaker:

that is Descript. Descript, I've been using for

Speaker:

quite some time, and I have a really great tool

Speaker:

called Studio Sound. So as much as I just told you about a

Speaker:

plug in, I would try that if you're in the free category. If you've

Speaker:

got I think my subscription is $30 a month to Descript.

Speaker:

They have a tool inside of Descript called Studio Sound that is

Speaker:

amazing, and I've used it many times to

Speaker:

clean up bad audio. But here's the thing about Descript.

Speaker:

Here's what I love about it. If you are a person that's doing video

Speaker:

and you wanna do audio, Descript is really, I think,

Speaker:

my go to tool for this. And the big magic

Speaker:

of Descript is you upload your video or audio.

Speaker:

It does a transcript for your stuff,

Speaker:

and then you could edit out parts of the text, and it will edit it

Speaker:

out of the audio. And over the years, it's gotten better and better.

Speaker:

And I do a show called Ask the Podcast Coach. I told you about it

Speaker:

earlier. It's 90 minutes. And when that show is

Speaker:

done at noon, there are many times when

Speaker:

I am publishing that after editing it

Speaker:

somewhere around 4 30, 5 o'clock.

Speaker:

And what I'm doing is I'm removing lots,

Speaker:

and I mean, lots of ums, your nose.

Speaker:

So and I realize that's how people talk. We're talking

Speaker:

100 because this is not a show where we know where

Speaker:

we're going. This is a show that's on the fly. And

Speaker:

so there's a lot of ums in your nose and things like that.

Speaker:

And I can go into Descript. Now I

Speaker:

typically say never turn on the remove all.

Speaker:

And you can, if you wanted to, say don't remove them. Let me

Speaker:

review them. Do you want to review 397,

Speaker:

filler words? I do not. So I have it remove

Speaker:

and double words. This this last episode, I said, hey.

Speaker:

Remove double words. So if I say like like or

Speaker:

it was Wednesday, Wednesday was when we did it. It would remove one

Speaker:

of those Wednesdays. And it was 90

Speaker:

minutes. And I listened to it last night. In 90 minutes, there

Speaker:

was one edit that I was like, could've been a

Speaker:

little better. But most of them, you didn't even know

Speaker:

it was edited. So here's the thing. What's more important to

Speaker:

you? Getting 5 hours back, or

Speaker:

do you think that one edit that was kinda,

Speaker:

is that gonna damage your integrity? And this is where being

Speaker:

Dave Jackson, podcast consultant, I used to, like, freak

Speaker:

out on that. Like, no. I'm a podcast consultant. It has to be perfect, and

Speaker:

it kinda has to be. But I was listening for

Speaker:

those types of things. And it was funny because I heard

Speaker:

it. I took a screenshot. I was walking around, got

Speaker:

home, listened to it again, and didn't really hear it.

Speaker:

And so I was like, okay. So I do that.

Speaker:

I then can I've got my my finished edit.

Speaker:

I can have Descript go in and say,

Speaker:

alright. Now add chapters. And that is the question of the month, by the

Speaker:

way, as you listen to this right now. Now if you're listening to this later

Speaker:

in September, we've changed it. But September's question is, how

Speaker:

do you feel about chapters? Do you create them as a listener? Do

Speaker:

you use them? Or are you in the what the heck is a chapter kind

Speaker:

of thing? There's no wrong answer here, by the way. But I have it create

Speaker:

chapters because it's a 90 minute show, and people might

Speaker:

want to skip to another discussion that we had a

Speaker:

little later. So I have it do that. I have it then

Speaker:

do timestamps. There's actually, I just found out I could go

Speaker:

to it and say, give me a YouTube description, and this tool

Speaker:

would automatically write the opening paragraph and make timestamps that I could

Speaker:

just paste into YouTube. And so it's pretty amazing.

Speaker:

And there's a whole I mean, it slices. It dices. It even

Speaker:

julienne's. And you can go in and have it

Speaker:

make clips for you. We're gonna talk about clips here in a second.

Speaker:

You can I mean, it just does everything? And that is one that

Speaker:

I can say the monthly fee I pay for that, I believe

Speaker:

it's $35, is well worth it because it gave me

Speaker:

back my Saturday. So that's something to keep

Speaker:

in mind. But I I am worried about it because I am doing

Speaker:

something I normally never do, which is I'm not

Speaker:

listening all the way through the episode before I publish it.

Speaker:

I'm trusting AI to make those correct.

Speaker:

Because if I listen to it again, again, it's a 90 minute show.

Speaker:

That's a big chunk of time. So I'm I've kind of

Speaker:

slowly kinda pushed my way through that to where I

Speaker:

trusted. And and so I

Speaker:

said all the fun things that I love about it. It gave me back my

Speaker:

Saturday. Dave, what do you hate? There is a never, and I mean,

Speaker:

never ending learning curve to this thing. Unlike other software

Speaker:

where every 6 weeks, they're like, here's some new features, they constantly

Speaker:

update it, which sounds like a good thing, except you're like, hey. Where'd you move

Speaker:

the studio sound? Oh, it's over there now. And then literally, the next day, you

Speaker:

log in, like, oh, it's over there now. So it's a never ending learning

Speaker:

curve. But because I put up with you

Speaker:

know, they gave me back my Saturday, that's worth it. But I do

Speaker:

wish they kind of, like, quit changing things quite so

Speaker:

much. Now there are gonna be a lot of honorable mentions here

Speaker:

because we're gonna slip into video here and talk about

Speaker:

clips and all these, how do I take that 90 minute and

Speaker:

turn it into a 1,000,000 social media clips? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah. Let's talk clip generators. I just

Speaker:

was going through and making a list of the ones I know. The big one

Speaker:

that you hear a lot of people talk about is OpusClip. And this is where,

Speaker:

again, when you go to their website, it's gonna say

Speaker:

something like, you know, one long video, 10 viral clips.

Speaker:

Create them 10 times faster. Right? Sounds great. Then they're

Speaker:

not lying. They're gonna give you 10 clips. And then there

Speaker:

is things let me go down the list here. There are so many. OpusClip,

Speaker:

BigVU, ClipGen, Momentum,

Speaker:

Flexcut. Hippo Video is one

Speaker:

I need to play with because they have a text to video tool,

Speaker:

Wisecut. And then if you the these are all I

Speaker:

will take a video and set it into 8,000,000

Speaker:

pieces. And that's fine. You just need to

Speaker:

when you're doing a free trial on this, start a

Speaker:

timer. I have a timer sitting here right in front of me,

Speaker:

and I just hit it. And, you know, you could also use your

Speaker:

your phone, whatever, but track your time because you've only got so

Speaker:

much. And there are times when I've used these tools

Speaker:

and the amount of time it took for me to go through

Speaker:

the you know, we gave you 40,000,000 video

Speaker:

clips. And by the time you find the 2 good ones that you wanna use,

Speaker:

you're like, I could've just clipped these myself. And that's where something like

Speaker:

Descript kinda comes in handy. But all of these are supposed to find the good

Speaker:

clips. And I'm not saying they don't find them. I'm also saying they find a

Speaker:

lot of bad ones. And the other thing you have to keep in mind are

Speaker:

2 things. Number 1, you're doing this because you wanna stand out,

Speaker:

hopefully. And the problem is I can spot

Speaker:

an Opus clip because they all look identical. I

Speaker:

mean, they all like and then the other thing that

Speaker:

you need to ask yourself is

Speaker:

when you get sucked down the YouTube shorts or

Speaker:

reels on Facebook or Insta, whatever it is,

Speaker:

how often do you leave

Speaker:

whatever you just saw and go to their

Speaker:

podcast, their YouTube channel, whatever it is?

Speaker:

Me, personally, I don't. In fact, I've

Speaker:

now started putting that timer on because when I go down the YouTube

Speaker:

or reels on Facebook, I keep keep getting sucked into that,

Speaker:

that I'm losing a lot of time watching videos. And

Speaker:

it's really easy to just go, add 1 more, add 1 more, add 1

Speaker:

more. But I've only subscribed, and this is just me. So it's

Speaker:

it's a survey of 1 person. I've only subscribed to

Speaker:

one person's YouTube channel after watching their short

Speaker:

videos, and I saw many of them, and it makes me laugh.

Speaker:

And what's weird is when I went to their YouTube video, their actual

Speaker:

channel, I don't watch their videos because I now feel they're a

Speaker:

little long. It's weird. Now that again is just

Speaker:

me. But for me, I think

Speaker:

shorts, they're not worthless. It's just a branding tool. It's

Speaker:

keeping your name in front of people until your next episode

Speaker:

is out. And if you've got the time, just like I say with everything with

Speaker:

video, if you've got the time and the equipment and the

Speaker:

budget and the desire, by all means, play in video.

Speaker:

It's just you also have to learn the algorithm. But

Speaker:

I just the reason I point these out is they really make it sound

Speaker:

like if you just, you know, take your 40

Speaker:

minute interview and chop it up into bits and I actually am going to start

Speaker:

doing this a little bit. I'm gonna try a strategy. I call this the Conan

Speaker:

O'Brien, where I'm gonna give my ask the podcast coach video

Speaker:

to the awesome supporters. So I'm using,

Speaker:

Supercash or Supercast on that instead of Patreon. But I'm

Speaker:

gonna do that. That's gonna be one of their perks. They get the video. I'm

Speaker:

then gonna chop that video into bits and

Speaker:

pieces and point that towards my audio.

Speaker:

Yeah. I'm gonna try that because Conan O'Brien does that. He'll have

Speaker:

just clips of an interview, and I wanna hear the whole interview, Conan.

Speaker:

And instead, the only way I can listen to the whole audio

Speaker:

interview or the whole interview is to do it via audio. So

Speaker:

there are tons of these. I have links to all of them. I know

Speaker:

OpusClip is really popular. Try them. You

Speaker:

know, hey, Jen is interesting. This is the one where you

Speaker:

clone yourself. And, again, I think as

Speaker:

long as you let people know that this isn't really

Speaker:

you, It looks like spooky, weird, cool.

Speaker:

Because I know for a while, some of that, like, clone yourself video just made

Speaker:

you look like you were in a a Madden football game

Speaker:

on Xbox. But, again, these are getting very, very good. I

Speaker:

will say one thing about the video tools

Speaker:

is if you are someone who does not have

Speaker:

an American accent, you might have an issue.

Speaker:

Now I I saw a review of hey, Jen, and they said, yeah. This doesn't

Speaker:

do very well. And so what he did

Speaker:

was he uploaded the audio himself instead

Speaker:

of typing in the text and letting it do, you know, everything for you. But

Speaker:

that that one, hey, Jen, I was I was this

Speaker:

close to kicking clicking on the button, and I just went, you know what? I

Speaker:

don't want a video clone of me yet. I I just it's it was a

Speaker:

little you know, we all have different levels of how much spooky

Speaker:

stuff can we tolerate, and that was one that I was like so

Speaker:

keep that in mind when it comes to video clips. Take advantage

Speaker:

of the free trials that are often available. Time yourself

Speaker:

and ask yourself, okay. Is this actually saving me time? And

Speaker:

you need to know why you're doing it. Is it saving me time? Is it

Speaker:

actually growing my show? And

Speaker:

is it growing my subscribers? You can get a lot of views on

Speaker:

Shorts. Jen Hardy, a former member of the School of Podcasting,

Speaker:

this Friday is gonna go over 1,000,000 views. So it is a

Speaker:

way to get found. So I don't wanna poo poo video. I always say that

Speaker:

if you got the time and the budget and the need and the desire,

Speaker:

everything else, then by all means, do video. The

Speaker:

Some honorable mentions here. Dave, what about Riverside? We've all heard about

Speaker:

Riverside. I used Riverside years

Speaker:

ago when it first came out. I just saw a demo

Speaker:

at Podcast Movement, and I need to go play

Speaker:

with it. It looks very, very slick. It seems like you can do

Speaker:

everything in that. But here's the thing I want to put out

Speaker:

there about tools like Descript, SquadCast,

Speaker:

Riverside. It seems like all of them have a

Speaker:

cycle, and this is the cycle. Everybody loves

Speaker:

it. It's great. It slices. It dices. It juliennes. It bakes

Speaker:

bread on the weekend. It's amazing. Right? Then

Speaker:

they will add new features. And at that point, there were these things

Speaker:

called bugs. And everybody gets very upset when all of a

Speaker:

sudden you lose a recording, and everybody's like, it's crap. It's

Speaker:

awful. Does anybody know of an alternative? And

Speaker:

then the programmers will fix the bugs,

Speaker:

and everybody will be back to this is the best thing since sliced bread. So

Speaker:

if you go into a Facebook group and

Speaker:

you'll see where somebody goes, hey. I hate insert company here.

Speaker:

Anybody got an alternative? And you'll have one person say, I love this.

Speaker:

I'm not having any problems. You'll have other person say, yep. It's total trash.

Speaker:

I switched to such and such. And then you might switch to

Speaker:

such and such, and it works great until it doesn't. This

Speaker:

is why I always say have a backup going, and it's hard to have a

Speaker:

backup when you're doing video. But if you can, have a backup going because,

Speaker:

eventually, technology is not going to be your friend. So if you're wondering, hey, Dave.

Speaker:

Why didn't you mention Riverside? Because I don't

Speaker:

know. I know a lot of people love it. All I can say, I don't

Speaker:

have any real personal use with that one. And in full

Speaker:

disclosure, all those clip tools I just mentioned, I've used

Speaker:

BigVU. I've played an Opus clip, but I've not

Speaker:

used the other ones. I've just heard about them from other people, and they all

Speaker:

kinda go, yeah. It does the thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I

Speaker:

realized this episode could be about 12 hours long. So I'm gonna drop

Speaker:

2 more here. And I heard about these from my buddy Craig over at

Speaker:

AI Goes To A College. And the first one, if you want to, I

Speaker:

mentioned how chatpt chat g p t and

Speaker:

for the record, nobody can say that consistently without eventually tripping over your

Speaker:

tongue. Chat GPT does not give you

Speaker:

sources, which is kinda scary. And

Speaker:

so I did a an episode of your

Speaker:

podcast website. You can find that at your podcast website. And I was

Speaker:

doing I want to report on what is a bounce page, and is

Speaker:

this really bad for SEO? And so I went to Perplexity

Speaker:

and typed in something like what is a bounce rate and what is it bad

Speaker:

or not? And it spit out an amazing amount of

Speaker:

material because this isn't something that's

Speaker:

time like, it it hasn't changed over time, and it gave me

Speaker:

all of my sources of which I clicked on and

Speaker:

I read. Why? Integrity. We've talked about that. Gotta make sure what's coming out of

Speaker:

my mouth is as true as I can, you know, profess it to

Speaker:

be at this point. That was really cool. Perplexity.ai.

Speaker:

Then we haven't even talked about images today. That's a whole other

Speaker:

thing. I'm just talking about content. And one and,

Speaker:

oh, by the way, these are free. Po has a paid version.

Speaker:

I'm sure all these have paid versions. But po as in Edgar

Speaker:

Allen, po.com is a way to

Speaker:

have chatgpt and Claude, which is another

Speaker:

version of chatgpt, and all these other ones.

Speaker:

And you can go in there and type in one thing.

Speaker:

And let's say it gives you an answer from chatgpt and go, well, what would

Speaker:

Claude say about this? This is really handy if you're doing

Speaker:

images. Like, draw me a picture of a smiling horse with a pair of

Speaker:

headphones. And it spits one out, and you're like, meh. You're

Speaker:

like, alright. Well, let's see what it looks like in DALL E, etcetera,

Speaker:

etcetera. And so it's kind of a multiple

Speaker:

AI tools in one. Again, that's at poe.com.

Speaker:

I'll have links all of this stuff out at school of podcasting.com/950.

Speaker:

I'm gonna call it there. Again, there's a lot of stuff we could talk about,

Speaker:

but I'm sure I'll revisit this. And I'm sure if you have a

Speaker:

tool that you're like, Dave, how did you not talk about this? Again, I'm

Speaker:

just getting my feet a little more wet. I'm moving kind of from

Speaker:

the the 3 foot depth into about 4 or 5 feet depth.

Speaker:

And And if you're like, man, you should've talked about this, would love to hear

Speaker:

it because I will be revisiting this topic in the future. Not so

Speaker:

much next week, but in the future, you're gonna hear me go, hey. We got

Speaker:

one of those AI tool thingies. Kind of those episodes coming up.

Speaker:

So appreciate your feedback. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah. Again, this episode could have been 12

Speaker:

hours long, but just to kinda summarize what I talked about today.

Speaker:

Number 1, above everything else, in my opinion,

Speaker:

you can't be a thought leader spewing someone else's thoughts. That just

Speaker:

that one just doesn't go through my logical brain. Never,

Speaker:

as in ever, publish AI content without having a human

Speaker:

preview it first. Preferably, that would be you. But if you got a

Speaker:

team, I guess, somebody else. Because you wanna protect your integrity because if you

Speaker:

lose it, you may never get it back. I know

Speaker:

when I was married, I had a stepson that lied to myself

Speaker:

and his mom, and it took a while for us to trust that kid again.

Speaker:

And I really feel AI is best used to help you polish the

Speaker:

content that you create. You know, this could be brainstorming to

Speaker:

help you get the content and then editing and rewriting and

Speaker:

summarizing and, you know, content that that you could have

Speaker:

it listened to to then let you know, do you need to do a deep

Speaker:

dive into that PDF, you know, audio cleanup and

Speaker:

more. And if you're brand new to this,

Speaker:

I'll have links to everything again, school of podcasting.com/950.

Speaker:

Go into chat gpt. And if you don't know what to do, just type

Speaker:

in how should I this is my first time here.

Speaker:

Let me know what I need to do to write a

Speaker:

prompt, and it'll probably just tell you. And you don't have to in the

Speaker:

same way that, you know, sometimes

Speaker:

when, Christians quote quote the bible, we start throwing in thee

Speaker:

and thine and thou, and we start talking King James. You know, you

Speaker:

don't have to talk robot to the

Speaker:

robot. What is the query that I must enter into

Speaker:

thou that that no. Just talk to it like a person

Speaker:

and see what happens. And like I say, I like, perplexity

Speaker:

if I'm doing research for an article because I'm gonna want those

Speaker:

sources. I'm definitely gonna want those sources. And

Speaker:

it can definitely speed things up. It can help. But, also,

Speaker:

keep that timer there because sometimes you think you're saving yourself

Speaker:

some time until you look down at your watch.

Speaker:
