AI Podcasts Are Taking Over… And Indie Creators Should Be Concerned

Today’s bonus episode is something personal.After reading a report about AI-generated podcasts gaining millions of listeners and hundreds of thousands of subscribers, I needed to speak on it. As someone who has spent over 20 years in podcasting, I’m frustrated by what this could mean for authentic creators, especially indie podcasters trying to build something real.In this episode, I talk about:The rise of AI podcastsWhy authenticity still mattersThe struggle indie podcasters already faceCelebrity-backed shows vs independent creatorsWhether audiences truly want “real” content anymoreWhy creators should never stop using their voiceThis is not an interview. This is simply me speaking candidly about the future of podcasting, AI content, and why human connection still matters.
