  • Maximize Listener Engagement with Podcast Chapters
    Sep 30 2024
    Chapters in podcast episodes allow listeners to easily navigate content, enhancing their listening experience by allowing them to skip to segments they find most intriguing or relevant. Dave Jackson explores the evolution and utility of chapters, reflecting on his initial disdain and eventual reliance on them. Dave invites podcasters to share their perspectives, highlighting a range of opinions from enthusiastic advocates to skeptics who worry chapters might disrupt the listener's engagement. Tools like Hindenburg and Descript are spotlighted for their ability to integrate chapters seamlessly, while AI-driven solutions from hosts like Buzzsprout and Captivate are emerging to automate the process. As the podcasting landscape evolves, chapters are becoming a valuable feature for both content creators and audiences, though their adoption remains a personal choice, influenced by the podcast's format and the creator's goals.All opinions are ours.

    Sep 23 2024

    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.
