● Planning
○ What’s it called?
○ What are your goals?
○ Who is it for? Who is the host?
○ How is the show formatted?
○ When will you release episodes, and how long are they?
● Podcast listeners engage with the medium more than
almost any other - take advantage of that to create two-
way conversations.
31. AUDIO AI
THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE
SCARY
The Good:
Clean up bad audio
Edit audio in a document format
Create stems from a flattened mix
Virtual pickup sessions with VO talent
The Bad/Scary:
Potential for misuse
What can you believe anymore?
Potential for complete destruction of humanity
33. UNDERUTILIZED
STAR POWER
Sonic elements perform better than any
other asset.
Yet they encompass less than 10% of brand
assets on average, a huge missed
opportunity, given the relatively low cost of
development.
