Hello all – If you have time, you may want to give this AI fueled site under the google banner a try.
Notebook LM “Podcast” Audio https://blog.google/technology/ai/notebooklm-audio-overviews/
Today, we’re introducing Audio Overview, a new way to turn your documents into engaging audio discussions. With one click, two AI hosts start up a lively “deep dive” discussion based on your sources. They summarize your material, make connections between topics, and banter back and forth. You can even download the conversation and take it on the go.
It’s important to remember that these generated discussions are not a comprehensive or objective view of a topic, but simply a reflection of the sources that you’ve uploaded.
To try it out, follow these steps:
-
Go to NotebookLM.
-
Create a new notebook.
-
Add at least one source.
-
In your Notebook guide, click on the “Generate” button to create an Audio Overview.
I tried it with this old Transparent Library column:
Michael’s test: PDF → Podcast
🧠🤯
If anyone wants to try this with a course reading or their own blogging and share, please do!
Does anyone else think one of the voices sounds a bit like Karen Killgariff?

Wow! I just submitted my Innovation Strategy & Roadmap into this Audio AI and it created a perfect 5 minute podcast summarzing the project. My mind is blown. Will share along with my finished roadmap when finished.
@kylehanson Very cool! I am glad you tried it out. Mind blown for sure!
I just pasted my last blog post and listened to the podcast created, and it just blew my mind. Here is a link to it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WQ5cbjLAHqrQNWIE4i8uagM7tHT7rIpw/view
@inabookbind Yes! It blows my mind too. Thanks for sharing!
@michael This is so COOL! Mine ended up being like 12 minutes long, but this technology is INCREDIBLE!

I had to click on the Notebook guide then load to listen to the podcast. Thanks for the info!
@claireburke Thrilled you tried it. I don’t think your link will work if it goes directly to your google account.
@michael okay, hopefully this time it works!
