What is an AI Podcast?

Before we delve into the specifics, let’s first understand what an AI podcast is. Simply put, an AI podcast is a digital audio show that uses AI technology to generate content.

Step-by-Step Guide on Creating an AI Podcast

This is the steps I followed to create my AI generated podcast from Scripting with ChatGPT to Performing with Eleven Labs and Editing with Premier Pro. You can follow these 5 steps:

Step 1: Planning and Scripting with ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis

For my case study, I used the ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis from OpenAI instead of the default chatbot. This tool offers the option to upload files, which is beneficial in maintaining context throughout your script.

To start creating your podcast script, first define your podcast’s main theme and structure. For instance, if your podcast is about AI and Philosophy, you might want to input prompts like “You’re an excellent author, non-fiction writer, and expert in AI and Philosophy.”

Once you have your main theme, begin outlining your episodes. For instance, you could write prompts like “Start writing an outline for your solo podcast on what a world in the iron grip of AGI will look like.” You can also upload notes related to your episode’s topic for the ChatGPT code interpreter to read and incorporate into the script.

Step 2: Writing and Refining Your Script

After creating an initial outline with the ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis, it’s time to refine it into a full-fledged script. A tip here: copy what you like from the generated text and paste it into a separate document. Then update this document with new sections as they’re written.

You can also upload your existing script back into the ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis to ensure that it maintains context and doesn’t repeat phrases or terms previously used.

Step 3: Voiceover Production with Eleven Labs

Once you have your final script ready, it’s time to give it a voice! In my case study, I used Eleven Labs for voiceover production. Simply paste your script text into Eleven Labs’ interface, select a voice that suits your podcast’s tone and style, then generate the audio file.

Step 4: Editing Your Podcast

After generating your voiceover files through Eleven Labs, it’s time for editing. Using a tool like Adobe Premiere Pro or any other preferred editing software can help you align all audio files correctly and add background music or sound effects if desired.

You can also create a standard introduction for each episode to give your podcast a consistent identity.

Step 5: Publishing Your Podcast on Various Platforms

Finally, after all the hard work comes the exciting part – sharing your podcast with the world! Platforms like Spotify.com allow you to upload your episodes easily. They even provide an RSS feed link that you can distribute to other platforms like Apple podcasts and Overcast.

For video platforms like YouTube, simply convert your audio files into MP4 format. Adding subtitles can make your content more accessible and engaging for YouTube’s diverse audience.

Conclusion: Is An AI Podcast A Viable Passive Income Source?

In conclusion, creating an AI Podcast certainly opens up opportunities for making money online. With regular uploads and a growing audience base, monetization options like ads and sponsorships become viable. However, it’s essential to remember that success doesn’t come overnight – it requires patience and consistent effort.

Whether you’re looking at this as an AI side hustle or a fun project that might earn some extra cash on the side – there’s no denying that exploring how to make money with an AI Podcast can be both exciting and rewarding!
