Transcript of spoken conversation with Copilot fed into Claude to get a podcast script to use in Wondercraft to produce a podcast

This is really part 2 of a post about a wonderful conversation I had with Copilot using voice. You can read part 1, which ended with me getting a podcast produced by Google's NotebookLMhere.

I wanted to experiment as well with Wondercraft, which offers various ways to create a podcast. One way is to provide it with a script and you can then choose from different voices and add music.

I thought Claude would be a good way to get a script for a podcast based on my conversation with Copilot and that proved to be true.  I uploaded a Word doc of my conversation and said, "Can you make this into a podcast?"The script it produced was for one speaker and it suggested when to have pauses and when to insert music at the beginning and end.

I gave the script to Wondercraft and chose a woman's voice, Abby's, for the podcast and some music for the intro and outro.  I exported the .wav file and uploaded it to Rev.com to get a transcript that would be synchronised with the recording. You can see the results here as I made a screen recording of it playing on my iPad (4 minutes):


Here is the screen recording of the podcast produced by NotebookLM (9 minutes):



While both podcasts give a good account of my conversation with Copilot about a presentation I'm planning to give, my real interest is in how students might benefit from creating such podcasts based on their recorded speaking or their writing.
