Turn technical documentation into custom podcasts for a run
I've been taking topics I want to learn about (mostly coding docs for new technologies) and giving them to NotebookLM to create customized podcasts for my runs when there aren't interesting podcasts available from the channels I frequent. And it really is actually good and enjoyable, and not just AI slop. 1. I chose a technical topic I wanted to learn and gathered the most useful documentation for it. 2. I added those sources to NotebookLM instead of relying on a generic podcast. 3. I asked NotebookLM to create a customized audio overview from the material. 4. I listened to the generated episode while running. 5. I repeated the workflow whenever I wanted an engaging podcast for a topic that existing shows had not covered.
Created useful, enjoyable audio explainers for technical topics when no relevant podcast episode was available.
