142: How to Improve Your Production Value (and Why AI Tools Aren’t Always the Answer)
A recent study of podcast listeners indicated that a big reason they stopped listening to a podcast is because of bad production value and sound quality. And as more and more people turn to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to produce their podcasts... Well, it’s sometimes really noticeable and not in a good way.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what podcast production is (spoiler: it’s things like your audio, editing, episode structure, and more) and how to improve it for your own podcast. Plus, I’m sharing which AI tools I like and why, but also why they aren’t reliable for replacing human editing and copywriting yet.
