How I Used AI to Create a Hyper-Legitimate Community Podcast
NotebookLM + Whisper + Claude Code + GitHub Pages can become your community’s voice
Creating a podcast using only AI, script, summaries, develop, … is unacceptable, right? And it creates a completely false version of your own voice, right? It depends! As I said in the last article, there isn’t always a single answer, and recently I came across a case where AI is the perfect and legitimate solution. I set it all up in one morning, hosting it on GitHub, and why it’s the ideal solution in this case.
Note: Recently, I’ve been told about the intention to use this same stack, not just for “boring” things like neighborhood associations, but also friend groups to make summaries of games and keep records of unforgettable moments. What surprises!
Why is AI legitimate and perfect here?
It turns out I’m president of a neighborhood association in my town. Lately, a lot of things are happening, and everything that matters to neighbors is buried in layers of legal documents and official minutes. And, on the other hand, the media outlets more accessible to citizens, such as the local magazine and radio, are focused on selling a narrative, and tiptoeing around many others (if they’re mentioned at all).
