Planet Money, the podcast from NPR, just did a three-part series on exploring how Generative AI (like ChatGPT and Audio AI) could be used to create a podcast, and it is pretty fascinating, the journey they go on. I highly suggest a listen.

The final episode, with a script written entirely by ChatGPT – including a radio story script to demonstrate the theme of how machines changed an industry (telephone operators) — and co-hosted by an AI replicated voice file of a retired Planet Money host (Robert Smith) is in the third episode here.

Peace (and Podcasts),

  1. Wow. That’s pretty interesting. I just listened to the first of the three NPR episodes. I’ll circle back for the other two over the next few days.
