Hi Friend,

If you're wondering what the heck is "NaPodPoMo," it stands for National Podcast Post Month. It’s a challenge that takes place every November with the goal being to record 30 podcast episodes during that month. NaPodPoMo's creator Jennifer Navarrete was our very special guest on All Things Audio this week. Fittingly, the Space happened on November 1, just in time to kick off the event's 16th year! Jennifer shared how she came up with the idea and how to participate. If you missed our live show, be sure to check out the podcast version.

Now here’s this week’s roundup.

Tool of the Week

Magai

As you probably know, I'm a huge fan of the AI tool Magai. In fact, I mentioned it here a few months back. But since creator Dustin Stout is continually expanding the features and functionality, I felt compelled to share it again. Magai helps content creators generate captivating written and visual content with a suite of powerful AI chatbot models. Features include: reading webpages and PDFs; retrieving YouTube video transcripts; custom personas; saved prompts; chat folders; and team collaboration - just to name a few. If you haven't checked out Magai recently, I highly recommend heading over to the website to see all the amazing new features. And remember, you can try it all out for free. I think you'll be impressed.
