From PC Mag: Spotify announced a series of podcast updates, with the most notable being a feature that lets you use its AI to create shows on demand.
The feature, called Personal Podcasts, will begin rolling out to Premium subscribers in the US next month. Once available, you can select the option from the Create tab and provide a detailed prompt in the following window.
“You can create a daily briefing, a deep dive on a topic you’re curious about, or a weekly roundup of whatever’s on your mind,” Spotify says. The feature taps world knowledge and your listening history to deliver a personalized audio output. In case you need to provide additional context, you can share text, PDFs, or links.
To make the output even better, it will let you choose a preferred voice. Since Spotify only mentions a singular “voice” here, we’re assuming the AI output won’t be capable of emulating a two-person podcast, similar to what Google’s NotebookLM and Amazon’s Alexa+ provide.
