A Beginner's Guide to AI

Shownotes Transcript

Two years, 500 000 streams and counting! In this jubilee special, host Dietmar pulls back the curtain on Beginner’s Guide to AI—from its humble origin as a one-man, AI-generated history show to today’s chart-climbing interview podcast. 🎙️

You’ll hear:

- The accidental launch: why an ancient-Greek travel prep turned into an AI-powered audio experiment.

- Tech trials & triumphs: hunting for natural-sounding voices, chaining prompts to beat token limits, and the DIY workflow that still underpins every episode.

- Pivot to people: how PR pitches and curious CEOs pushed the show from scripted explainer to human-driven interviews—and sent it rocketing into the global Top 50 tech charts.

- Audience & analytics: 25,000 subscribers, 1,200 plays per episode, and an Ango-American listener map.

- What’s next? Daily drops? More expert chats? Dietmar wants your vote.
