How I Created My First Podcast Using Google NotebookLM

New AI Podcast Tool NotebookLM

I am one of those who thought I would never create a podcast. To tell you the truth, it was a lack of resources needed to create a professional-grade podcast. However, everything changed when AI came to the rescue.

I was seeing a lot of posts online about a new AI research tool called Google NotebookLM that was taking the Internet by storm. I was reluctant to try it out, but at one point I gave in.

I was shocked to find out how easy it was to create a podcast with zero knowledge. It took me like 20 minutes to figure out and I was on my way to generating a professional-grade podcast where 2 people were talking about my travel hack article or video I had created before.

The AI voices and interactions in Google NotebookLM's podcasts are so incredibly lifelike that it's hard to believe they're not real humans. I sent my first podcast to a few friends without telling them it was AI-generated, and they were completely fooled!

The simplicity of creating a podcast was also astounding. First, I had to give my sources on the NotebookLM page. You can also provide notes to add to those sources. I gave the AI my YouTube video link, an article from my website AhmedDawn.com and a few notes on Notepad and that’s it.

Also, NotebookLM generated a FAQ, Table of Contents, Timeline, Briefing, etc. based on what you are feeding it. I am using these summaries for my podcast video description. So everything the AI generated has some uses for my podcast video.

NotebookLM opens up endless opportunities for content creators. This is another example of how AI tech is limitless and there are a lot more mind-blowing crazy things to come in the future.
