Superstar Car Wash Deep Dive: The Podcast

This literally took me minutes to create. All I did was feed Google’s latest AI project NotebookLM with the more meaty blog post I have in here, which obviously is this one. A couple of clicks later, the AI had generated a full 11-minute podcast featuring a male and a female speakers having a vivid discussion about some of the trivia mentioned in the post above.

This is a sneak peek into how the coming future will look like, especially for content creators. I only fed one source as a way of testing the technology and it’s quite impressive so far. I will certainly utilize more sources in the future to create other podcast sessions, as a way to make this little blog a little more alive.

Keep in mind that NotebookLM is still in their beta phase, and it is not perfect. In fact, they get a couple of things wrong throughout the whole thing, but they manage to pretty much nail all the rest.

If you have roughly ten minutes to spare, listen to the AI-generated podcast below, as Joe and Jessica discuss what I consider to be the Goo Goo Dolls’ best effort to date.
