Written by Damien Griffin | Feb 11, 2025 12:45:00 PM

It looks like Google is expanding on the popularity of podcast-style AI content.  NotebookLM became popular pretty quickly from being able to produce what sounds like a podcast that summarizes the content that you provide.


Now, they have a new AI-tool called the Daily Listen.  


This tool creates a personalized podcast based off of current news stories related to your recent search history.  The podcasts are about five minutes long and give you a new and different way to consume content.  


This can be a good fit if you want something to listen to while you sit in traffic or on public transportation on your way to work. 


If audio doesn’t work for you, they also provide a transcript.


If you want to try it out, you’ll need -

  • The Google app (on iOS or Android)
  • To opt-in to experimental features
  • Click the Daily Listen on the Home screen of the app
