Podcasters - what if I told you could offer your pod to any listener around the world, in their own local language but still keep it in your own voice? That’s the pilot we’re launching @Spotify!
It’s called Voice Translation and using AI, translates podcasts episodes into alternate languages, all in the podcaster’s voice. It’s pretty insane. Take a look and let me know what you think!

GenAI represents a legitimate advancement. Ignoring GenAI would be foolish. Failure to start down the GenAI path is a terrible plan. But #GenAI is a path, not a teleportation device. There is a staggering amount of work to be done to realize GenAI’s potential.
