The Ultimate Podcast Artwork Guide

Today I published a brand new guide covering everything you need to know and consider when making podcast cover artwork.

This is the latest guide to accompany previous ones about the best microphones and hosting services.

I hope you find it helpful!


An update to AI podcasting

Last month I wrote all about AI and podcasting including this prognostication

Voice cloning is getting better and better and I think in the not-too-distant future podcasters will be able to create their own voice clone and have it read a script, completely removing the need to sit in front of a microphone and record. Imagine that, a podcast without the need for any recording.

Well clearly I wasn't being optimistic enough because Perplexity have recently started their own podcast that is created end-to-end by AI 🀯

It's called Discover Daily and is a short tech news roundup. The 'hosts' are entirely synthetic and the script comes from Perplexity's own search results.

Clearly my hunch was right but my time horizons were way off!

Together we worked on podcasts that have topped charts, reached thousands of monthly listeners, and grown businesses, and I’d love do help you do the same.
