01 Jun 🤯Buzzsprout’s New Tool: Cohost AI!
đź‘‹Hey there Podcaster!
In Clubhouse we have been discussing overcoming challenges in podcasting. One of the best ways to overcome a challenge is to connect with a like-minded community for support. Join me and the rest of the group on Clubhouse in the Empowered Podcasting Club every Monday through Friday at 7am EST for the Podcasting Morning Chat.
🤯Buzzsprout’s New Tool: Cohost AI!
Let’s talk about Buzzsprout’s new tool, Cohost AI. Think of it as your personal virtual copywriter, ready to assist you in creating engaging episode content.
Here’s how you can get started: Simply enable Cohost AI in your Buzzsprout account by going to Episodes > Cohost AI and clicking Enable. Once enabled, when you upload a new episode, Cohost AI will automatically be applied. Keep in mind, the processing time will take longer as it is generating multiple pieces of information, so Buzzsprout recommends stepping away and checking back in about 30 minutes.
While your episode is processing, Cohost AI takes care of drafting episode descriptions, defining chapters, and transcribing your episode. It’s like having an extra pair of hands on deck, helping you focus more on your content creation.
Now, I haven’t fully tested it yet, but my initial assessment is promising. While using something like ChatGPT is more flexible and dynamic, Buzzsprout’s Cohost AI could be a valuable asset for the independent podcaster. Plus, it’s a cheaper alternative to ChatGPT Plus, which could be a big win for those on a tighter budget.
Remember, though, no matter how advanced AI tools get, they can’t replace the human touch. I strongly encourage you to review any work that Cohost AI or any other AI tool produces. This ensures accuracy, helps avoid plagiarism, and allows you to add your authentic voice to the mix.
Cohost AI is an optional add-on for any paid Buzzsprout plan, starting at $10/month with the 3-hour subscription package. It’s designed to make your podcasting process smoother and more efficient, handling tasks like generating episode title ideas, drafting descriptions, defining chapters, and transcribing your episode.
So, if you’re looking to lighten your load without breaking the bank, Buzzsprout’s Cohost AI might be worth a look. For more information: https://www.buzzsprout.com/help/189-cohost-ai
🎟️Upcoming Podcast Events
Podcast conferences and meetups are a great way to connect with fellow podcasters and companies that service the podcasting industry. The opportunity for face-to-face connection is invaluable to meet new colleagues, friends, collaborators, and partners. The events foster an environment of community, encourage podcasters to share their unique experiences, and develop conversations to spark innovation and creativity. These networking events are a melting pot of experiences, different voices, inspiration, and connection. If you are looking to grow your podcast and connect with other people in the industry, make sure to check out local meetups or plan for travel to an upcoming event. Let’s talk about some upcoming events and meetups!

The conference already happened earlier this year, I was able to attend and speak on a couple of stages, and had a great time. I highly recommend this conference and I can’t wait to go back next year. Start planning early! It will be in Orlando, FL Jan 25-28, 2024.

Unfortunately, She Podcasts Live announced its planned June event in Washington, DC had to switch to a virtual conference. The good news about this setback is a new partnership with Podfest Expo. She Podcasts Live will have their own space within the 2024 Podfest Expo event.
