Henley Point and the Future of Podcasting

Henley Point is shaping the future of podcasting with projects like the second edition of Podcasting Explained, their inclusion-focused partnership with Connect 4 Life, and storytelling ventures such as The Point.

This episode highlights their leadership in adapting to technology, empowering diverse creators, and creating impactful narratives across platforms.

And as wonderful as all of that sounds, we didn't write it.

This episode features guest co-hosts Eric and Steve, both of whom are … AI generated. In fact, the entire episode provides listeners with a clear-cut example of the impact of AI on podcast production and content creation.

It's a little unnerving, certainly amazing and possibly a bit creepy. That said, it's out there and it's being used by an increasing number of content creators and podcasters. Those of us at The Point, however, have provided this episode merely as an example of the technology -- personally, we prefer the old-fashioned approach with real people, real voices and real production. But hey, you decide.

The Point, a podcast of Henley Point, is a showcase of people, their issues and priorities, and their experiences in telling their stories, promoting their ideas and trying to make a difference in the world around them. You’ll hear from corporate leaders and non-profit executives, political campaign managers, advocacy directors, small business owners and product launch managers. We explore how each harnessed tools like audio media, digital publications and print books, and online outreach. Each episode shares lessons learned from those whose jobs focus on making the desired impact with their chosen audiences, target markets and communities. Listen to The Point on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and many more. Or check out Henley Point at HenleyPoint.ca.
