A fake podcast about my latest chapter ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

I’m about 80 pages into writing my book, although most of it is classified except for the first couple chapters.

But as noted before, it can be fun to see how AI interprets my writing.

Having just finished chapter 6 of my book, I decided to use Speechfy’s “podcast” feature to generate a late-night show about the chapter.

I find the results amusing. What do you think?

Quotes

“Be truthful, not neutral”

I heard this quote mentioned on an episode of In Conversation about objectivity in journalism during these polarized days. It’s so classic and simple.

We must always be truthful, not neutral.

Christiane Amanpour

On the podcast they give a great example…

If one person says it’s raining outside, and another person says it’s not raining, then the journalist’s job is not to give equal time to both viewpoints, but rather to go outside and see if it’s f’ing raining. ๐Ÿ’ช

Missed Fortune ๐Ÿ—ป

What does it take to pull you into a new podcast? Or a book? Or really anything?

With so many great podcasts out there and already not enough time for them all, the bar can be pretty high for anything new. But the first few lines of the Missed Fortune podcast pulled me in right away.

Did you ever find yourself in one of those situations where if it goes well, thereโ€™s a huge reward? But if it goes bad, you look just unforgivably stupid? Like what were you possibly thinking?

Iโ€™m in a car with some guys I donโ€™t know on the way to somewhere weโ€™re not supposed to be. And this is one of those situations.

They go on to explain that this is the story of a real-life treasure hunt in the Rocky Mountains with the only clues being a short poem.

Iโ€™m already hooked. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Well played, new podcast.
