Will “Verified” Downloads Ruin Podcast Advertising?
Today I share parts of a conversation I had, but as I'm saying my negative opinion of a certain practice, I'm not saying the company, and I've replaced the actual guest with an AI-Generated voice (from11 labs). If you plan on paying for a service to promote your show, this is a MUST LISTEN. We also talk about Apple evaporating your downloads is a GOOD thing.
Again, the voice you hear as the "Guest" is AI generated from a transcript of the conversation.
