Welcome to Stories by AI, the podcast where you'll find fascinating, heartwarming, and sometimes downright hilarious stories from all walks of life - as created by AI.

I'm your host, Danny Brown, and every week I'll input a random idea into an AI tool, and ask it to create a story around that idea. I'll then share these results with you, untouched, to see just how good AI can be at human subtleties and the nuances behind telling great stories.

So switch your ears on, sit back, and get ready for a different kind of storytelling. And be sure to follow for free on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode of Stories by AI!

One of the questions that appears online regularly is do you need to edit your podcast? Much of this comes from podcasters who just want to hit record and then publish right away.

While you can take this approach, there's a lot to be said on why you should edit, even it's it's just the bare minimum. Let's find out why.

When you first start a podcast, it can be a bit daunting when it comes to getting your show in front of listeners.

• how do I get on Apple, Spotify, etc
• do I just use Apple and Spotify or should I use more
• do I need to do things myself

With regards the first part, your podcast host should take care of that for you, or offer you an easy option to distribute.

When it comes to how many apps you should be on, well, that's more down to you - but you should always be thinking of the listener first, as I explain in this episode.
