Should You Use AI To Create Content For Your Podcast? This Answer Might Surprise You

Feb 09, 2026
 

If you have a podcast — or you’re thinking about starting one — chances are you’ve already wondered how AI fits into the picture. Can it save time? Can it help you grow faster? And more importantly… can it actually help you build a profitable podcast without watering down your voice or your authority?

In this episode of Run Your Damn Business, I’m breaking down when AI helps your podcast grow — and when it quietly works against you. Because while AI can absolutely support podcast monetization and online visibility, using it the wrong way can weaken the very thing that makes podcasts convert: trust, connection, and authority.

I use AI every single week in my business. I’m not anti-AI. But I am deeply strategic about where it belongs in a podcasting ecosystem — especially if your goal is monetizing a podcast, attracting aligned clients, and building sustainable passive income instead of another content hamster wheel.

Inside this episode, we talk about why AI is incredibly effective for behind-the-scenes podcast strategy — and why relying on it for your actual content can hurt your ability to market online in a way that feels human and believable.

You’ll hear how AI can help you:

  • Understand your market faster
  • Clarify positioning and messaging
  • Strengthen SEO so your podcast compounds over time
  • Increase online visibility without posting more
  • Support podcast monetization without replacing your voice

But we’ll also talk honestly about the one area where AI causes podcasters to lose momentum, confidence, and connection — often without realizing it.

Podcasting is not just a content channel. It’s relationship marketing. And when your goal is to attract more clients, build trust at scale, and create a business asset that works even when you’re offline, how you use AI matters just as much as whether you use it.

This conversation is especially important if you’re trying to:

  • Build a profitable podcast instead of an expensive hobby
  • Monetize your podcast in a way that feels aligned
  • Use your podcast as a long-term business asset
  • Market online without burning out on social media

I also share how I’m teaching this exact framework — including SEO patterning, keyword positioning, and strategic AI use — inside my free live training happening February 24–26, where I walk
