Podcast Automation?

So Im actively using podcasts for SEO. Using AI is not going to work for podcasting. Your podcast will be removed as you get going. I know. Ive been doing this for clients for over a year now. THe podcast will be removed with an AI voice.
To get around this, since it literally takes just as much time to turn a script into an AI voice, I bought a mic from best buy for $40 and just record 15 minute voice recordings.
For clients that have video you can just turn their videos into MP3 files and upload those. The key here is using a real voice. SOmething else I thought of was just turning others YouTube videos into a podcast, but then consistency of the voice wont be there.

Buying a mic and doing it yourself is the best way. Unless you wnat a particular accent and have the $$ to spend on Fiverr for something you can do in 15 minutes yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I have a quality mic so I can do the voice myself.

What about picking a niche? Is there anything I should look out for?

I came across this video about "Podcast automation".

TL;DR: The video discusses the concept of YouTube automation and proposes starting an automated podcast as an alternative. The speaker shares their success story of starting an automated podcast that has gained millions of downloads and generated revenue through advertisements and sponsorships. They highlight the differences between YouTube automation and podcast automation, mentioning that YouTube has a robust algorithm and easy monetization but is highly competitive, while podcasting requires less time and effort for audio-only content. They provide tips on finding a niche, writing scripts, producing episodes with voiceover artists, and publishing on podcast platforms. The speaker also mentions the benefits of partnering with a co-host and shares their own podcast's success in the Reddit stories niche. They offer insights into starting a podcast automation business and suggest exploring other social media platforms for promotion. The video concludes with gratitude for their co-host and a showcase of their podcast's performance on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

(yes, I used ai for the summary)

Essentially, the same as youtube automation - it's just that you're creating podcasts - not videos.

You can take stories from Reddit, bundle them all up, and pay someone on Reddit to do a voiceover with it.

Anyways, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience running and monetizing a podcast and if it would make sense to get into it.
