The Role of AI and the Human Touch
A thoughtful segment on AI spotlights its usefulness for editing and workflow—but both hosts agree, nothing replaces genuine, live human connection. If you’re building community, creating events, and amplifying your own story, you’re future-proofing yourself against an increasingly automated digital landscape.

Key Takeaways
- Live podcasting is the future—no matter your niche, bringing your show to the stage creates irreplaceable value.
