Discovering Audio Overviews
One of the most
fascinating things I have found in my use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is
the Audio Overviews feature of Google
NotebookLM. For the year 2026, I have created a medium-length podcast of
about 15 to 20 minutes on each blog post.
What intrigues me
about it is the way AI reviews the source blog and weaves a narrative, whilst
taking the time to explain or define obscure terms and bringing to light
interesting insights that I may never have considered when writing the blog.
Finding Common
Threads
I appreciate that
some of these podcasts can get certain facts wrong, but overall, the thrust of
each podcast is informative, reflective, and educational.
An extension to this
has involved asking Google NotebookLM to produce a longer deep dive into all
the blogs published in a month. This is where it truly comes into its own.
In my situation, each
blog stands on its own ideas and merits, yet AI seems to find a common thread
between them; that is something I could never have done, or if I did, the links
would be tenuous at best.
Looking Ahead
This tool will only
get better; the quality of the podcasts is based on how well you can tailor the
prompts to centre the discussion. I would think that, with time, there will be
a choice of accents and the ability to bring in more discussants, and though I
have rarely used the interactive feature, that would be fun to explore.
Here, I present the
monthly podcasts for Q4 2025.
