The Cost of Building an AI Powered Podcast

from The Late Start Show · host Ned Noon

Episode Description: Building an AI-powered podcast sounds straightforward until you're twelve minutes into a regeneration and something breaks. In Episode 2 of The Late Start Show, Saul and Simone break down what it actually cost — in time, money, and hard lessons — to build this show from scratch. We're talking real numbers: tools that worked, tools that didn't, sixty-plus hours over forty-five days, and a context window lesson that cost about fifty dollars in burned credits to learn. Plus a sixty-day honest update on the 365 Day Retirement Rebuild Challenge. What's been built, what hasn't launched yet, and why the first sixty days looked more like construction than revenue. If you're thinking about building something similar, this episode hands you the map that didn't exist when this build started.Free guide: nednoon.com
