Ever wished for a way to share your insights with the world without the hassle of recording? This is how to build a system that automatically creates and publishes podcasts using the power of AI.
🧲 Part 1: From RSS Feed to Podcast-Ready Content
📰 Step 1: Tap into the World of RSS Feeds
Think of RSS feeds as content pipelines. Websites use them to distribute articles, news, and more. We’ll use them as inspiration and raw material for our podcasts.
Example: The New York Times Technology feed provides a constant stream of tech-related articles.
💡 Pro Tip: Explore RSS feeds related to your niche. There’s a feed for almost everything!
🤖 Step 2: Train Your AI Assistant (ChatGPT)
ChatGPT can transform basic article information into engaging podcast scripts. We’ll give it clear instructions to ensure high-quality output.
Example:
- Input: Article title and short description.
- ChatGPT Magic: “In a groundbreaking development, scientists have…” (followed by a concise, engaging summary of the article).
🤯 Fun Fact: ChatGPT can adapt its writing style. Want your podcast to sound like a friendly expert or a witty commentator? It can do that!
💡 Pro Tip: Experiment with different ChatGPT prompts to find the perfect voice for your podcast.
📝 Step 3: Organize Your Content with Google Sheets
Google Sheets acts as our content hub. It stores the original articles, AI-generated titles and descriptions, and lets us review everything before publishing.
Example:
| Article Title | AI-Generated Title | AI-Generated Description | Publish? |
|—|—|—|—|
| How AI is Changing… | The AI Revolution: What You Need to Know | Get ready for the future! AI is… | ✅ |
💡 Pro Tip: Use Google Sheets’ filtering and sorting features to manage your content efficiently.
🚀 Part 2: Bringing Your Podcast to Life
🗣️ Step 4: Give Your Podcast a Voice with ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is our text-to-speech wizard. It converts our AI-generated scripts into natural-sounding audio, even mimicking your own voice!
Example: Upload your script, choose a voice, and ElevenLabs does the rest, creating a ready-to-publish audio file.
🤯 Fun Fact: You can adjust the voice’s emotion and emphasis for even more engaging podcasts.
💡 Pro Tip: Experiment with different voices and settings to find the perfect fit for your content.
🎧 Step 5: Share Your Podcast with the World (SoundCloud)
SoundCloud makes podcast distribution easy. We’ll automate the process of uploading our AI-generated audio, complete with titles and descriptions.
Example: Once uploaded to SoundCloud, your podcast can be easily shared to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.
💡 Pro Tip: Promote your podcast on social media and other channels to reach a wider audience.
