The Mitten Dad Show

Welcome back to another episode of The Mitten Dad Show!

Imagine taking the words you write and transforming them into auditory learning experiences—seamlessly. 

That’s exactly what Google’s ⁠NotebookLM⁠ is doing, and it’s rapidly changing how we consume and interact with written content.

For my birthday, I recently shared 40 quotes that I found inspirational to ⁠celebrate my 40th birthday in a recent newsletter issue⁠. 

So with that, I decided to test this new AI technology by taking the text that I recently shared in my newsletter and seeing how NotebookLM could bring them to life with two hosts that do a deep dive into each of the quotes. Honestly, my mind is kind of blown.

Without further ado, have a listen and see what you think of this new technology. If you’re listening on ⁠Spotify⁠ be sure to leave a comment, or send a message to me over on ⁠Substack⁠ or my ⁠Linktree⁠, and let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

We just wrapped up our family summer vacation, and while it was still fresh, I wanted to do a quick episode talking about the power of gifting experiences for our children, and the impact it not only has on them but us.

If listening on Spotify I would invite you to take part in the Q&A and Poll, but if listening on another platform, I would love to hear what has been your favorite experience that you still remember to this day.

Our Thanks To Today's Partners:

Thank you for listening, and for your support!

Over on the Mitten Dad website, I recently posted about a series of tweets that had gone viral, where the original poster had mentioned how every time she would ask dads for their email addresses for party invitations for her three-year-old, they would always provide the email addresses of their partner instead. Why was that? Tune in for more, and be sure to send a voice memo in with how your family organization planning gets handled, and any tips you may have if this topic struck a chord for you! It might get featured on a future episode! Or if you'd prefer to share a non-audio story, reach out over at Twitter!
