18 May 🌏Using AI Ethically and Responsibly
👋Hey there Podcaster!
I have been on a couple podcasts lately discussing using Artificial Intelligence responsibly and ethically. It’s a good conversation as we embark on this new AI journey as podcasters, content creators, and business owners.
🌏Using AI Ethically and Responsibly
My four-part interview with Simona on As it relates to Podcasting talking all about AI and chatGPT is still being released, the 3rd part this week, please check it out here!
I was also on Producer Jaime’s podcast Podcasting Your Brand discussing how to use AI ethically and responsibly, read about it and watch the full interview here!
🥽Let’s dive into some key takeaways:
- The revolution of AI: AI is revolutionizing the podcasting world, offering various benefits such as generating podcast titles, show notes, transcripts, and aiding in marketing. AI can be intimidating and scary. However, using AI ethically and responsibly is crucial. Similarly, other historical advancements, such as the internet, were also considered intimidating during their respective eras.Check out my reel to see why you shouldn’t be scared here!
- Transparency is key: Inform your listeners about your AI usage and how it’s employed. This empowers them to understand AI’s limitations and make informed choices regarding their involvement.
- Give credit: If you utilize AI tools, acknowledge and credit the creators. For instance, if ChatGPT helps with show notes, credit OpenAI. Recognizing AI’s contribution fosters transparency and respect for those advancing the field. Want an example? Check out my credit to AI and ideas for your podcast at the bottom of this email.

💳Podcast Merchandise
Last week in Clubhouse we had a room discussing podcast merchandise. Take a listen and get inspired to put your podcast logo, artwork, or catchphrase on some merch and promote it on your podcast and social media. It is a great way to start monetizing your show, often with very little or even no cost upfront. It’s a better option than just asking for monetary support from your audience, since they get something in return. Remember to align your merchandise with your podcast’s branding and audience preferences.
In the room, I shared that I have a Printify t-shirt store with designs I made to mimic pop-culture brands with the words “PODCAST”, like this Friends tv show logo inspired t-shirt above. Check out all my shirts here: https://ironickmedia.com/shop/
Popular podcast merchandise options:
- T-shirts, apparel, and bags featuring the podcast logo or catchphrase.
- Stickers, decals, magnets, pins, and buttons with the podcast logo or artwork.
- Mugs and drinkware featuring podcast branding or quotes.
- Office supplies (pens, notepads, calendars, mousepad) with podcast logo.
- Autographed/sponsored items such as books, posters, or event tickets. If you have a popular guest on your show, one idea is to get some autographed/sponsored items for your podcast store. These could also be great contest giveaways to get your audience on your email list.
A fun way to promote your merchandise: Use your items yourself and give some away to promote it in person as well. Gift podcast merchandise to your show guests. Headed to a podcast convention or another event relevant to your audience? Bring some extra merch to share! This is an easy way to network with other professionals and potential listeners.
Take a listen to the Clubhouse room here where we also discussed ways to find and develop a merchandisable unique catch-phrase.
Are you already using merchandise for your podcast? Reply and send me a link to your store, I would love to check it out!
