Where your week goes

Recording the conversation is the fun part. The clips, captions, show notes and posts take longer than the episode did.

Next, not included

Clips from every episode

Now:

You know the best ninety seconds, but cutting and captioning it means another evening in the editor.

With AI:

Later, explore editing filmed episodes into clips as a separate workflow. Finished video edits aren’t part of the first carousel and faceless-post build.

Example post from a transcript (illustrative)

“I didn’t quit my job to start a business. I quit to find out what I’d do with a Tuesday.”

The full conversation is on the show this week.

A week of posts from the transcript

Set up in the workshop

Now:

Release day gets one post, and by Thursday the episode has dropped out of everyone’s feed.

With AI:

The transcript becomes a week of quotes, takeaways and questions. Here’s how to post consistently without posting by hand.

Show notes and titles

Next, not included

Now:

Show notes get written at midnight before release, and the title is whatever you thought of first.

With AI:

The transcript becomes show notes, timestamps and title options to choose from.

Guest research and invites

Next, not included

Now:

Every guest means an evening reading their work before you can write an invite worth answering.

With AI:

A guest’s public work becomes a one-page brief and an invite, using the right research tool for each job.

What you’ll set up

Start with one episode’s transcript and a repeatable posting workflow, keeping the host’s and guests’ words in context.

  1. Visualize

    Choose a moment worth sharing.

    Review public posts in your niche and the results you can access. Choose a moment from your episode that works as a quote or short written takeaway.

  2. Automate

    Turn the transcript into posts you check.

    Draft posts from the transcript, then check quotations against the recording. Approve the batch before testing publishing with supported connections.

  3. Optimize

    Review responses before the next episode.

    Review the results you can access and choose which themes to try again. Use that decision to guide the next episode’s posts.

That’s content repurposing every week: one conversation becomes a week of reasons to listen. You build it in The Social Machine.

Questions

Is this an AI course made for podcasters?

No. It’s The Social Machine, my live two-day workshop for anyone who needs to be seen. You build one posting workflow from your own show’s material.

My show is audio only. Is this still for me?

Yes. The first build uses your transcript for carousels and faceless posts. Filming and finished video edits aren’t required.

Will posts misquote my guests?

You check every quotation against the transcript and recording before approving a post. AI drafts the content; it doesn’t replace that source check.

What will I need?

Bring material you’re allowed to use for one account. We’ll confirm the supported setup and any required subscriptions before booking; publishing needs compatible connections.

Be first to hear the dates.

Two live days to build one episode-promotion workflow, with checked quotes, reviewed posts and publishing setup.
