Own an agenda.
Own the category.
Forget your product.

AI generated Podcasts is now a reality.
I’m completely excited. Confused. Baffled. Worried. And I must say a tiny bit afraid.
What’s going to happen to the human to human interactive podcast?
Do people care whether it is real humans talking to each other?

Or will AI take over yet another creative discipline and possibly make human podcasts redundant.
I surely hope not.

I'm not even sure Montanus has a tone of voice.
