About this episode
How has being a podcaster changed how you listen? There are plenty of ways AI can make podcasters' lives easier, but there's one human ability Mary firmly believes AI will never be able to replicate (or at least not for a very long time): true listening. We humans have the incredible potential to distill the emotional impact underlying the words a person speaks. Artificial intelligence bots, on the other hand, can only record the words themselves and "react" with whatever follow-up is programmed into their databanks. As podcasters, we learn to hear and listen differently than other people. We hone in on the nuances in our guests' voices, which enables us to strengthen that shared connection in our interviews. We also pick up on background sounds that wiggle in around our recorded words, affecting the quality of our episodes in a big way. So, when you're podcasting—what are you listening for? Explore the emotional nuances of the human voice: The significant difference between listening and hearing What's behind the "zoom-quality sound" fatigue we all experience How deep and supportive listening can make you healthier Links worth mentioning from the episode: Episode 77, Why We Need To Highlight Our Humanity In Podcasting with Erin Moon - https://www.organizedsound.ca/why-we-need-to-highlight-our-humanity-in-podcasting-with-erin-moon-episode-77/ JAMA Network Open study "Association of Social Support With Brain Volume and Cognition" - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2783042 Connect with Mary!
