Had a good listen to this. For those interested in being open to learning, there’s lots to like in this short podcast.

On a general question, i gather you used NotebookLM (?) to help put this together. How did you structure the input? Did you have the 2 voices (ie female & male) already scripted as separate parts of a dialogue? Or did the tool sort this?

Thanks, Mark for the feedback.

I wrote the original article about reverse mentoring first.

I then imported that article into NotebookLM.

I then wrote some background information about research into the topic of younger workers helping older workers come to grips with newer technology and tools like LinkedIn, ChatGPT plus others. I imported that information into NotebookLM too.

I then wrote a brief background about myself, including the types of people I have trained in my working career and imported that into NotebookLM.

With all that background and detail, I then asked NotebookLM to create an audio podcast of its interpretation of what all of these input details: article, research and my background would be about.

NotebookLM chose the male and female voices, and then proceeded to record a conversation between those two as a presenter podcast discussing all about me, my research and what I had talked about in my article.

I didn't choose the male and female voices, or feed them a script - NotebookLM figured out what the presenters said about it all.

It's pretty neat, don't you think?

Certainly sound so. Lots better than other things like the clipstudio, Otter AI which I’ve used before. Voices were great. Did you have to “edit” it much before publishing?

No, I didn't edit the audio at all.

Sorry Mark, slight mistake. I said I had imported my background into NotebookLM. In fact, I did not do that for this podcast. That was for an earlier experiment I fid with the tool. That is why in this podcast the presenters do not mention me at all.
