Here’s how I am using AI as a podcaster to create clips and shorts from my long-form interviews… It is super easy and fun! Thanks to vidyo.ai for featuring me in their Creator Spotlight. There are two significant aspects to consider. First, Playful Humans is designed to be experiential and fun, given the company’s name. It can’t be dull. By showcasing unique moments like jokes and games on my podcast, I can demonstrate the difference in experience compared to other thought leaders or keynote speakers. These moments help establish the brand’s distinctiveness.
Second, consistency is essential in avoiding burnout. If creating content becomes a tedious, time-consuming process, it leads to fatigue and even pod fade, where podcasters abandon their shows. By using vidyo.ai, I can keep content creation quick, enjoyable, and progress-oriented. This tool allows me to focus on building my audience and clientele while automating other processes.
