I recently came across Google's latest AI innovation, NotebookLM, which has sparked significant excitement in both tech and podcasting circles—and it’s easy to see why. This tool allows users to input any form of text, be it a short story or article, and transforms it into a podcast. Each podcast features the same male and female voices, using natural-sounding filler words like "um" and "ah" to mimic real conversations. Occasionally, you might notice a glitch in the speech or repeated explanations from the virtual hosts.
