388 - AI Slop, Adobe’s Big Win, Why Hosts Matter Most, & More Podcast Headlines
Manage episode 514019488 series 3552050
The research is clear: 80% of listeners tune in mainly for the host, not the format, not the gear, but the person behind the mic. Today, we continue our podcasting news conversation with fresh headlines and honest discussion about what really keeps audiences listening. We discuss Adobe’s AI-powered speech tool, making TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025 list, sparking debate about how creators understand and utilize AI. The crew also weighs in on Auphonic, sharing their own experiences, frustrations, and thoughts on whether these tools support or stifle authenticity. From there, we unpack what this new research means for creators and why personality, connection, and consistency matter more than any algorithm.
