This is so fascinating, thank you. I'm hoping to branch out my Substack into a podcast as well and this has definitely given me lots to think about.

I was excited about hearing your podcast, since I like connecting with the actual voice of other writers. I was disappointed that you used AI because even if it uses your voice I would bet it doesn’t really sound like Amy Suto. It is a bit monotone with no change in cadence and it falls flat. BUT, if it works for you, congrats. I will skip the podcast and stick to your written content. It also helped me decided that when I start my podcast I won’t use AI.

All good! Some of my readers love the podcast (and didn’t know it was created by AI) some don’t. I don’t have the time to record myself for hours reading everything I write, which is why I’m excited about the tools I use to give my readers options on how to check out my writing. You can always opt out of it so no worries — as always, I appreciate your feedback!

My husband’s entire biz is AI-based (he provides AI solutions for his clients), so I get it. And your comment about lack of time made me smile. That, I totally get and is probably the reason I have not started my podcast at all. 😁
