Testing Notes

Jan. 27, 2025 - Weekly Roundup (ALT version)

  • Same news sources

  • Two-host script created using ChatGPT 4o

  • Audio created using ElevenLabs podcasts

Less engaging, more reading of a script. Intertwining topics and flow were better. Fewer topics covered. Length was under 7 minutes, about a third of NotebookLM, even though I prompted it to be 20-30 minutes.
