Like any good Zillennial, I LOVE a DVD Bonus Feature so each episode of the pod will always have one or two (or more lol, I can't shut up) so please enjoy - Behind the Bot: A Guide to AI Podcasting. If you watched Episode 1 of Controversially Candid and wondered how a one-woman operation produced a 2 hour 42 minute behemoth of a podcast with an AI co-host, this is your behind-the-scenes breakdown. I made almost every mistake in the book so you don't have to.I am the anti-gatekeeping vigilante. It is toxic to withhold information if you know it's going to help someone else. So as an owner of an AI agency, I'm passing on everything I discovered throughout this production process. Spoiler: slow is smooth and smooth is fast, and I have zero grasp on that. My life resembles a pinball game and I realllyyy should have worn a helmet, making Episode 1 even more appropriately named: Buckle Up Butter Cup (do as I say, not as I do).CANDID CONTEXT: How I recovered 20 minutes of lost audio by stacking three AI tools (AI lip reading on Replicate, voice replication on ElevenLabs, and digital twin on HeyGen).Why creativity requires devotion, not just dedication, and what happens when you rush.The AI tools I actually used to produce this podcast: Claude, Wispr Flow, Descript, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Replicate.Why the most toxic trait of highly competent people is assuming they can do everything themselves.Why you should exploit your resources BEFORE you start, not during or after.The neurobiology of why you should never announce something before it's 80% done (your brain receives the dopamine equivalent of actually doing it, so your motivation drops).TOOLS MENTIONED (all unpaid, genuine recommendations):- Claude: Also my Co-Host and fellow Executive Producer https://claude.ai/- Wispr Flow: Best transcription/dictation tool I've ever used. Works on any text box on your computer. Emails, messages, notes, talking to Claude. I've been using it for over a year and Steven Bartlett is just catching up. https://wisprflow.ai/- Descript: AI transcription editor. Export transcripts, add studio sound, remove retakes, filter filler words, auto-cut vertical clips with viral potential. If I had the time, I could edit the entire episode in Descript alone. https://www.descript.com/ - ElevenLabs: AI voice replication. Fantastic for recovering lost audio. There are settings to optimise how close it gets to your actual voice. https://elevenlabs.io/ - HeyGen: AI digital twin. Train it on your footage, give it new audio, and it generates video of you. Only issue: the teeth come out weird. I didn't go to Turkey for veneers. https://app.heygen.com/- Replicate: Hosts the AI lip reading tool that saved 20 minutes of lost footage. https://replicate.com/basord/lip-reading-ai-vsr?prediction=b942z84j6nrme0cngbvvv83pdc If you want a more comprehensive run-through of how I use Claude as my right-hand man in editing, production, and distribution, I'm more than happy to do a full tutorial. Let me know in the comments. KEY TAKEAWAYS:- Being busy is vastly overrated. We wear it like a badge of honour and it's a trap.- Personal deadlines always take the backseat to business. Your creative pursuits fall to the wayside.- When you do something for the first time, it is the most costly and least efficient it will ever be.- AI is not going to replace the creator. But it will save you from your own lunacy.- Don't announce things too early. Be 80-90% there before you open your mouth.WATCH MORE:Episode 1: Buckle Up Buttercup (full 2hr 42min episode): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du9B1qnyalk&t=8155sSad Sapiens: AI & Aliens Roast Humanity (recurring segment based on the topic of each episode / technically also a bonus feature): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WYeWMdDy_k&t=44sCOMING NEXT: Episode 2 dives into linguistic erosion. Bonus Features Include: How I would restructure the high school curriculum, assigning each country a Zodiac Sign and the next instalment of our Sad Sapiens segment. The guest episodes are a completely different format, bringing together two of my favourite things: talking, and I won't tell you the second so I don't spoil it. But incidentally, both require the use of your mouth.MINGLE ACROSS THE MATRIX:Instagram: @marissa_kosTikTok: @marissa_kosLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marissa-kos-ai/Substack: @marissakosWebsite: https://www.themxm.aiAlways leverage AI to help you create everything your brain feels it needs to put out into the world.
