In this episode, we're excited to share updates to Co-Host AI, a feature that's received outstanding feedback from our podcasters and Facebook group. We discuss the advantages of this integrated feature, how it differentiates from other services, and improvements made to its transcription editor since its launch, covering the quality of the transcription engine, AI technology, and the innovative new editor functionalities, such as assigning speaker roles. Plus, we delve into the importance of episode artwork and how Apple Podcasts is making it a priority in the podcasting world, with unique and memorable artwork being the key to standing out. Lastly, we touch on YouTube's potential impact on podcast advertising and the consequences of their new approach. With YouTube's lack of pass-through RSS ingestion, will podcasters still be willing to distribute to their platform? Join us as we explore this fascinating topic, share our pre-recording rituals, and even discuss the challenge of decluttering our homes and extreme approaches to cleanliness.
