Episode notes
Podcasts As 360° IP Platforms
- Goalhanger is shifting from pure ad revenue toward events, merch, TV formats and premium community portals.
- This strategy treats podcasts as IP platforms rather than just audio feeds.
Workflows Matter More Than Models
- Wondercraft argues AI video is now usable but the real challenge is building robust workflows and editable timelines.
- They prioritise generative creation plus an editor so creators can iterate rather than start over.
Turn Audio Into Editable Video
- Use Wondercraft to visualise audio by uploading a podcast and describing desired visuals to auto-generate video.
- Edit the generated timeline to refine avatars, B-roll, captions and pacing before publishing.
