The Nation’s Leaders from Coast to Coast Podcast

A temporary project to show how AI can be used to create content for a client.

This content and recording of this podcast is done entirely by AI. The program guides the user through the following steps, allowing them to make any necessary adjustments and review the results along the way, while making the process as simple as possible. The entire process could be created with one click of a button, but with the uncertainty of AI, the review process is needs.

Steps for Creating a Podcast

  1. Effortless content selection
    The system selects a random member of The House of Representatives or Senator from a local database and offers the user the ability to reject or process the individual. The system will only select those members who have not already been previously processed.
  2. Create AI powered content
    Once a member has been selected, the system using ChatGPT or Grok will generate the podcast page content and episode scripts based on special instructions sent to the AI program for each.
  3. User content review
    The user will then be presented with the content created by the AI engine for review and make any necessary adjustments or reprocess if they are unhappy with the results.
  4. Recording and post creation
    The system will then follow the steps below to create both the podcast recording and the post in WordPress
    1. Create the podcast post draft using the AI created content as the post content.
    2. Download the official image of the member using API and attached it as the featured image of the post.
    3. Add the featured image to the post content for SEO purposes.
    4. Convert the actual podcast content to SSML and smaller chunks due to Google size limits.
    5. Using Google’s TTS API send the content for recording.
    6. Save the recordings in a metafield for the post.
  5. Recording review
    The user will then be presented with the option to listen to the recording and offer the options to start over, rerecord or accept.
  6. Image adjustment
    The official image needs cropped to the appropriate size based on podcast standards. This is a manual process due to the fact the images need a human review to ensure the AI does not crop the image in the wrong place and show only a portion of the person’s head.
  7. Publishing of Post
    The last step is to attach the recording to the post draft, do some simple SEO work and publish the post. The user can publish the post immediately or schedule it if creating multiple posts in one day.

This entire process is handled in one page template to ensure it does not slow down the websites process time by adding another plugin.

Future enhancements will be automatically converting the featured image to WEBP and post to X, Google Search, Facebook, etc.
