The idea of the podcasts of AI built from all the documents you have that lies always resembles a tip, but the notebook of Google has shown me several times that it can make informative audio episodes, if not always animated, on everything I love.
The concept is simple: texts and transcriptions become conversations between the characters of AI. They could casually discuss your research, by breaking it in a engaging and digestible way. You can even jump, ask questions and guide the discussion if you wish.
But the notebooking note configuration to provide the best episode is not necessarily intuitive. So, if you are a big audio learner or if you just have long car trips to come, here are some tips for making the best false podcasts possible.
First bring together all your sources
Before diving into any project, one of the best things you can do is bring together all your materials in one place. We all like to think that we will remember the tab that we left open later, but we will not. The beauty of Notebooklm is that it works better with as many contexts as possible, so downloading everything that is relevant in a single laptop helps to find connections, identify models and provide significant information.
For my gardening plans, it was as if two expert gardeners discuss my exact research – except that I did not have to hunt them in a plant nursery. Instead of clicking on several articles, I obtained a clear and organized ventilation of what I had to know, which facilitates conservation and implementation.
Ask for follow -ups
Notebook podcasts are not only passive either. You can transform them into an exposure of interactive calls. Whenever the Podcast Ai raises something interesting or clear, you can take advantage of the possibility of asking follow -up questions. This will help you refine the information and adapt it to your needs.
For my garden plans, the discussion of fertilizers confused me a little, but I jumped and I asked what to use for the types of vegetables that I wanted to cultivate. Then, the AI hosts immediately started answering my question before returning to the broader subject.
Tailor -made episodes
The Podcast function of notebooklm is not a single size. You can adapt it according to what is most important to you. As I wanted a low -maintenance garden, I adjusted my notebooklm session to focus on plants resistant to drought and the natural struggle of pests.
The AI has taken over this and highlighted strategies such as mulching and using concerns to dissuade insects. If you have a different lens, as perhaps maximizing vegetable yields or growing flowers for the aesthetic appeal, you can make new episodes that cover these elements alone.
“Hire” good voices
I quickly realized that the podcast generated by AI-AI sounds even better when you change the voice settings to match your preferences. Notebooklm offers different stimulations and tones, and adjusting them can make a huge difference in the way the content is engaging and digestible.
For example, I noticed that the implementation of voices at a slightly slower pace helped me better absorb information, especially when they process detailed gardening instructions. You can also break long episodes in smaller chapters. You can hear a good example of an overview of my gardening podcast experiences below.
