About The Podcast

This podcast series exists to help YOU learn more about Implementing Scrum in the real world — with a bit of a twist. Everything I write is BY ME, no AI, directly for you. But for this podcast, I'm testing Google NotebookLM: I've created a "Notebook" there with sources from my own work (this website, the Interactive Scrum Guide, and other content), then use its "Audio Overview" mode to generate a conversation between two AI voices, deep-diving into a specific topic I've asked it to explore.

I do a bit of post-production, then publish each episode on YouTube. It's pretty magical, and an experiment for me into the world of AI for now.
