The first voice-synthesized podcast episode

This has been a tough couple of weeks with a heavy dose of international travel followed by my third bout of COVID. It was time to produce a new episode of The Marketing Companion.

What was I going to do? I was sick.

I had no energy.

I had no voice from the violent coughing.

But I did have AI.

What you are about to hear is my first entirely voice-synthesized podcast episode. You’ll just have to hear it to believe it. It’s either the coolest show you’ve heard, or the creepiest! Maybe both.

I probably won’t use this frequently, but it saved me in a pinch. The technology for this short episode can be found at Eleven Labs.

You’ll just have to hear it to believe it. Let me know what you think! Listen here:
