Google’s NotebookLM has an Audio Overview tool that will generate a “deep dive” podcast from your specified sources. I gave it my recent post A Divided Norwich Selectboard Grapples with Budget Oversight Responsibilities. The resulting output is below. Click on play to listen.
Note that this audio overview is not a comprehensive or objective view of a topic, but simply a reflection of my blog post. Also, inaccuracies and audio glitches can (and did) occur. Nevertheless, I found it interesting and wanted to share.
Please let me know what you think. Helpful or waste of time? How about a deep dive into Selectboard correspondence in a meeting packet? Any other ideas, sane or zany? Comment below or contact me at norwichobserver[at]gmail.com. And, as always, thanks for reading (and listening).
I really like the dialogue approach, especially when it comes from a place of rational thought. I like the ‘hosts’ and the tone of the discussions. What is unclear to me is who is speaking? I am not familiar with Google NotebookLM, so I can’t tell if this was generated through AI.
Either way – 2 thumbs up!
Chris, your efforts to get people educated, informed, and involved – in any form – is superb and well appreciated!
Thanks!
It’s all AI generated based on the blog post.
