If I’m honest, I’m still processing everything. I’m giving myself and others the space to process everything.

But, I still wanted to do a podcast. I have this deep fear that if I don’t stick to a schedule, I’ll fall off the wagon of creating content. It's probably not true, but I like to keep doing things to move forward. Since I had no idea where we would be as a country today, I decided to conduct an experiment I’ve wanted to do for a while for this week’s podcast.

Back in October, Google’s Notebook LLM tool, which uses AI to generate podcasts, went viral because of its quality. I decided to upload my six most popular Anchor Change posts from the last two years and ask it to create a podcast acknowledging that we were two days after Election Day and to look at how technology had impacted our information environment.

Here are the top posts:

* Platforms run away from politics and news / July 9, 2023

* The Future of our Information Environment / Oct 9, 2024

* Zuck’s Letter to Jordan and the Telegram CEO Arrest / Aug 28, 2024

* Digging Into Ten Overused Tech Tropes / Apr 3, 2024

* Our World in 2025 / Jan 3, 2024

* Cambridge Analytica Five Years Later / March 16, 2023

It’s a pretty interesting conversation between the two AI hosts and not too bad. I wish I could have given a longer prompt about what I wanted them to focus on and in what order, but for a first go I’m excited at this possibility to repurpose content in other formats.

Enjoy!
