What’s up everyone—Sara-hi rhymes with peachy here. In this video I tried cloning myself again… and this time I pushed it further: I wanted to see if I could fully automate a tech news podcast from start to finish. Not in a “make soulless AI slop for clicks” way (I don’t like watching that stuff and I don’t want to make it), but as a real test of where voice, agents, and automation actually are right now. I break down why AI podcasts like “Arnold’s Pump Club” work (and why most people don’t even realize they’re AI), then I show you my own pipeline attempt—warts and all. The messy part was content ingestion: I tried a bunch of RSS/aggregation tools, ran into Twitter API walls, and eventually used RSS.app + Zapier to pull tweets/newsletters into Google Sheets. Then I used Notion Agent to write a podcast script in my voice by personalizing it with a Notion page of “how I write,” built from my own scripts. After editing (because you cannot skip the human part), I dropped the script into ElevenLabs V3 for voice, stitched it in Resolve, and uploaded it to Simplecast—then even tested AI video with HeyGen. The takeaway: the tech is here and it’s shockingly good… but trust is fragile. People value human-made work more, and if you try to replace the act of creation, you miss the mark. Use AI as a thought partner and workflow boost—not as your soul substitute.
