Extracting Written Content From Podcasts And Livestreams
I wrote before about not wasting content that you’re creating as you answer questions or interact on communities like Twitter, Bluesky, Discord or Slack.
One great source of content for your newsletter or blog is podcasts or livestreams that you are on. Here’s how I’d do that with an example podcast interview I did a few months ago.
First you need to transcribe it. Most podcasts and livestreams are posted to youtube, and my go to tool there is youtubetranscript.com. Here’s the transcript of the interview. I know people who are happy with Descript and I’m sure there are other solutions out there.
Most podcasts are a wide ranging conversations with multiple possible newsletters or posts contained within them. Sorting out these topic areas is a great use case for AI.
Paste the transcript text into Claude.ai and ask for topic grouping as well as verbatim text for the beginning of each of the topic groups.
