My favorite workflow for creating AI podcasts has become to look up an interesting topic in Stanford’s STORM tool, and importing both the report and referenced websites into NotebookLM to generate the podcast.
I’ve been curious about the Shinto religion for some time, and since it doesn’t have a well-defined central corpus as with other religions, I’ve found it hard to get a good overview of its rituals and practices.
Verdict
The podcast is a little too preoccupied with the festivals and rituals, but not as much a comprehensive overview of Shinto beliefs. This coverage of the topic is interesting, and I always have the option to make a new one, giving it a specific focus on giving a general overview of the belief system.
Given that the podcasts typically come in at around 10-15 minutes duration, in the future I’ll try to see if focusing on different aspects of the same material could create a longer form podcast, say 3-4 edited together.
