Episode Description
Here's my actual AI-assisted podcast production workflow - no editor, no team, recorded to fully scheduled in under two hours most weeks. If you're a solo creator wondering how AI tools actually fit into a real production process (not a fantasy one), this is the unglamorous, specific version.
In this episode I walk through exactly how I do it. The tools, the order I do things in, and why that order actually matters. I talk about how I plan episodes quarterly so I'm never starting from a blank page, the 70/30 split I keep between keyword-researched episodes and the ones I just make because I feel like it, and the Claude skill I built that takes one transcript and spits out every repurposing output in a single pass.
I'm also testing the whole thing on a second podcast right now in a completely different niche. Same system, different content, different audience. If it holds up there, it's actually a system. If it only works here, it's just something I got good at through repetition, which is a different thing.
The principles at the end apply no matter what tools you're using, so those are worth sticking around for.
