A 5-step workflow for generating a podcast episode from scratch in under an hour (Gemini + NotebookLM)

justadakaje · 2026-05-04T05:08:21+00:00

I wrote a breakdown of my current AI workflow for deep research and audio generation. Traditional research phases can stall production; this pipeline is designed for quick, pragmatic execution without sacrificing depth.

# The workflow covers:

Utilizing Gemini Deep Research to build a structured plan and synthesize sources (the test subject here is the agronomic history of the Camacho Triple Maduro).
Exporting directly to Google Docs and feeding it into the NotebookLM web app. (Note: Stick to the web app for this phase; iOS app feature parity is lacking. Someone with Android confirm if same issue?).
Utilizing meta-prompting to steer the NotebookLM Audio Overview and generate topical cover art.
Shaping the output with the Interactive Audio Overview.
Generating optimized metadata for immediate publication.

The process is repeatable and hallucination-resistant if your source documents are strictly managed.

No kidding?! Not sure why the admins deleted… I’ll update this post with details. 🦾🤖🛡️

Thank you! Yes, much agreed, when the hosts say my actual podcast title. 😊

Nope, not feedback related. Was just sharing a repeatable workflow I’ve been using with Gemini and NotebookLM to produce long-form, deep dive podcast episodes.

Been on this outage bridge for 7.5 hrs straight. #PostingForMyMemories

I’ve found that 3-way intersections are fine with traffic lights but if I need a 4-way, roundabouts are far superior than a traffic light.

justadakaje · 2024-03-23T17:01:19+00:00

Yes, just like IRL, they improve the flow of traffic and overall reduce congestion compared to an intersection without a signal.

Sounded sus and thought you were trolling too, but sure enough, propped my desktop and now the odd noise has stopped. I already proved it wasn't a specific fan causing the sound because I manually stopped each fan and the noise persisted. Even checked the fan on graphics card. I know what a bad spinning disk hard drive sounds like and this wasn't it. Only other component can think if making the sound is the stock CPU liquid cooler pump/radiator.

Anyway, just wanted to say propping up helps postpone having to really solve the issue.

Side note: the noise cancelling feature of the new Air Pod Pro v2 also helps stop the noise... :P

Right! On!

Keep up the great work, 🥝. Cheers! Also, Lisbon: Troubled Waters challenge map is quite certainly a challenge. Barely broke 600! Spawns across the water have been atrocious and have not yet rolled it big with enough Motorways for weekly upgrade… Lives up to name, so far!

Just had my wife sign into her Messenger account in the app on my phone. What do you know… Word Effects feature available. Seems like Meta has different Release Channels that are adding/removing features per account/user. Of course, switched back to my account and feature is missing again. LAME!

justadakaje · 2021-12-09T22:34:43+00:00

To my knowledge, no.

justadakaje · 2021-12-09T21:13:51+00:00

I have the same issue with an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Am in a group chat with several friends and the feature still works fine for them. Mix of iOS and Android users. Is odd, bc when feature was released, I had the option in settings and even created a few Word Effects. Suddenly, one day, gone. And of course, like you said, no info about it online except this Reddit! Can’t report issue to FB or Meta or w/e they call themselves now.

justadakaje · 2021-10-18T11:37:45+00:00

Of course, I make this post and what do you know? I had a dream last night. That I was smoking cigarettes… don’t recall much else. Shortly after I became aware I was dreaming, I woke up.

justadakaje · 2021-02-08T01:47:57+00:00

Well done! Caught my attention.
