Discover the behind-the-scenes magic of crafting our intriguing podcast episodes.

Even with the power of AI, assembling all the elements requires skill and creativity. I rely on CapCut to bring everything together seamlessly.

My process begins with ChatGPT, which provides the engaging stories. For narration, I turn to ElevenLabs, followed by Adobe Podcast Enhance to refine the audio quality. Pictory supplies B-rolls and music, while Playground AI and Decoherence offer captivating images and videos. To top it off, CapCut and Soundly deliver immersive music and SFX, with eye-catching thumbnails created using Canva.

As we continue to innovate, future episodes will also feature Epidemic Sounds for an even richer audio experience. Stay tuned for more captivating episodes that push the boundaries of storytelling!

    the capcut point hit home for me. i tried letting AI draft a whole episode outline last month and it sounded like everybody else's show, so now i only use it for the tedious parts like trimming and transcripts. the human touch really is the secret sauce. funny thing, my co-host and i burn our finished episodes onto CDs as keepsakes with an online CD burner, feels like making our own little mixtapes honestly. solid behind-the-scenes peek, more podcasters should share this kind of process stuff
