Inception Point AI's Quiet Please podcast network produces 3,000 podcasts a week
Do you listen to AI-generated podcasts? Will the [Bitcoin 101 podcast](https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bitcoin-101--6488880) by "Nick Ledger" give the [BTC Sessions podcast](https://www.youtube.com/@BTCSessions) serious competition for listeners?
Not yet. It's probably good enough for weather reports, but for sophisticated topics like Bitcoin mining, the generated verbiage sounds like a buzzword salad, with disjointed concepts and chains of reasoning coming out in random order. It's hard to listen to. But maybe my bar for coherent reasoning is higher than average, because according to the [Inception Point website](https://www.inceptionpoint.ai), over 10 million people are listening to their 4000+ shows.

> There are already at least 175,000 AI-generated podcast episodes on platforms like Spotify and Apple. That's thanks to Inception Point AI, a startup with just eight employees cranking out 3,000 episodes a week covering everything from localized weather reports and pollen trackers to a detailed account of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its cultural impact, to a biography series on Anna Wintour. Its podcasting network Quiet Please has generated 12 million lifetime episode downloads and amassed 400,000 subscribers -- so, yes, people are really listening to AI podcasts.

> Inception Point CEO Jeanine Wright believes the tool is proof that automation can make podcasting scalable, profitable and accessible without human writers, editors or hosts. "The price is now so inexpensive that you can take a lot of risks,â Wright told TheWrap. âoeYou can make a lot of content and a lot of different genres that were never commercially viable before and serve huge audiences that have really never had content made for them." At a cost of $1 an episode, Wright takes a quantity-over-quality approach.

> "I think very quickly we get to a place where AI is a default way that content is made, not just across audio, but across television and film and commercials and imagery, and everything. And then we will disclose when things are not made with AI instead of that they were made with AI," Wright said. "But for now, we are perfectly happy leading the way."
