Wrenches Gadgets & Hacks

Episode 04-01: AI Took My Podcast Job

Carl Storms Season 4 Episode 1

Welcome to what might just be the final episode of Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks -and no, not because we’re tired of talking tech. It’s because AI has officially taken over.

That’s right, folks. As the title suggests, AI is just too good now. We, the humble human hosts, are no longer needed to flip the switches, ramble into microphones, or even pretend to know what we’re talking about. AI can do it all - research, scriptwriting, and yes, even turning dry documentation into binge-worthy podcast content.

So, John and Carl thought, why not go out with a bang? This entire episode has been created by AI. Who knew it could be this good?

Enjoy the show… or should I say, enjoy your new AI overlords. 🤖

Still here? Noticed today’s date - April 1st, 2025? Yeah, you got us. April Fools! 🤣

We’re not hanging up our podcast mics just yet. But we are talking about NotebookLM - an AI-powered research and learning tool that’s honestly pretty incredible. And yes, it can turn what you're learning into a podcast as a way to absorb content. In fact, a big chunk of this episode was generated using NotebookLM, based on just four blog posts. And it nailed it.

Now, for real—enjoy the show! (Starts around the 17:30 mark)
