AI & Podcasters

You spent an hour recording. Now you need show notes, an episode description, social posts, a newsletter, and a guest thank-you email — and next week's episode isn't going to plan itself. Listeners tune in for your voice, your perspective, your conversations. They don't care about the production overhead that nearly killed your release schedule. The research, the show notes, the promotion, the repurposing — that's production work. And it's burying the creative energy that makes your show worth hearing. AI can handle the production. You handle the microphone. This book gives you specific prompts for the work that consumes your weeks: • Episode planning and guest research — prepared in minutes, not hours • Interview questions that go deeper than surface-level • Show notes and descriptions that hook new listeners • Content repurposing — one episode becomes ten pieces of content • Social promotion across every platform, batched and scheduled • Audience engagement systems from newsletters to review requests Includes a complete prompt library — every prompt, ready to use. The approach is practical. No speculation about AI replacing podcasters. Just clear guidance on using ChatGPT and Claude to compress production time — with honest emphasis on why your voice and editorial judgment remain non-negotiable. For podcasters who'd rather record than write about recording. About The Author Neil Addison is a professional content strategist — structuring how organizations communicate, capturing what makes their voice distinctive, and building frameworks for consistent work at scale. This turns out to be highly relevant to AI. A prompt is content strategy made operational: captured judgment in repeatable form. The prompts in this series emerged from thousands of iterations, testing what actually works for real tasks under real time pressure.
