Get 15% off with discount code Podtastic Riverside.Fm This week on Podtastic Audio, I took on a wild experiment: what if you didn’t have a human co-host… but an AI one instead? Yep, in this episode, I actually had a full-on conversation with ChatGPT to find out if AI could pull it off as a podcast partner. We cover a lot — from what a podcast even is (seriously, I told ChatGPT to pretend it didn’t know), to how indie podcasters like us can use AI tools to plan, edit, organize, and even improve our show’s workflow. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and why I think AI still has a long way to go before it can totally replace that real human connection — but man, it’s getting close. 🤖 In This Episode: Can AI really host a podcast?My recorded conversation with ChatGPT (including a funny moment about AM radio) How to explain podcasting to someone who’s never heard oneSmart ways to use AI for show planning and content discoveryEditing tips for busy indie creatorsWhat to do when guests have bad audioInterview advice (especially for nervous or quiet guests)Audio vs. video podcasting: where should you focus? This was one of the most unique episodes I’ve ever made — and honestly, it made me think about the future of podcasting in a whole new way. If you’re a solo podcaster or just AI-curious, give this one a spin. 🎧 Want to try your own AI co-host experiment? Let me know how it goes — I’d love to hear about it!
