How to Create a Podcast Episode in 5 Minutes Using Google's Deep Dive (Part of NotebookLM)

Have you tried Google's Deep Dive Podcast AI tool yet? It's truly remarkable! Deep Dive is integrated within Google's NotebookLM, allowing you to summarize various file types like website URLs and PDFs. You can then transform this content into a Deep Dive Podcast featuring male and female AI voices that sound incredibly lifelike, complete with human-like inflections. 

I recently created a 5-minute Deep Dive Podcast using my LinkedIn profile and resume as input. Listening to it made me blush - the AI voices artfully highlighted my career achievements and reflected my career theme (i.e., always learning, adapting, and seeking new challenges). 

I'm unable to attach the WAV file to this blog as Wix does not support WAV audio players in a blog, but you can listen to it by going to the Resume section of my website.

Forbes has a helpful how-to article on creating AI podcasts using NotebookLM.
