Step 1: Prepare Your Content
Content types: Text files, Google Docs, PDFs, Web URLs, direct pasted text
Key principle: Write in conversational style for natural-sounding audio. Use first-person language and specific examples.
For detailed content structure templates, writing tips, and content guidelines, see references/content-guide.md.
Step 2: Generate Audio with NotebookLM
Access NotebookLM
- Go to https://notebooklm.google.com/

- Click "Create new notebook"
Upload Content
- Name your notebook (e.g., "Podcast Episode 5")
- Add content via:
- Upload: Drag and drop PDF or text file
- Link: Paste Google Doc link or web URL
- Paste: Copy and paste text directly
- Add more: Include multiple sources for "Audio Overview"
Generate Audio Overview
- Once content is uploaded, look for "Audio Overview" button
- Click to start audio generation
- NotebookLM generates a natural-sounding two-person conversation
- Wait for generation (typically 2-5 minutes)
- Preview the audio and transcript
Download the Audio
- Click the download icon on the generated audio
- Choose format: MP3 (recommended for podcasts)
- Audio is saved to your Downloads folder
Audio Specifications
- Format: MP3 (mono or stereo)
- Bitrate: 128-192 kbps (podcast standard)
- Length: Typically 10-30 minutes depending on content
- Style: Two-speaker conversation (natural dialogue)
Step 3: Optional Audio Enhancement
If you want to add intro/outro music, adjust levels, or remove silence, see references/content-guide.md for audio enhancement tools and music sources.
Step 4: Platform-Specific Distribution
Distribute to Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and more. See references/distribution.md for detailed platform-specific setup instructions and multi-platform distribution strategies.
Step 5: RSS Feed Hosting & Multi-Platform Distribution
Using an RSS host simplifies multi-platform distribution. See references/distribution.md for recommended services, distribution workflow, and RSS setup instructions.
Content Templates & Publishing Strategy
For episode structure templates, cover art design guidelines, publishing schedules, distribution checklists, promotion strategies, analytics tracking, and workflow automation, see references/content-guide.md and references/distribution.md.
Works Well With

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|
| Audio sounds robotic | Rewrite content in more conversational style; try NotebookLM again |
| Too quiet | Normalize audio with ffmpeg or Audacity |
| Not showing on Apple Podcasts | Check RSS validity at podba.se; wait 48 hours for review |
| Uneven audio levels | Edit with Audacity; normalize before uploading |
| Missing from Spotify search | Ensure metadata (title, description) contains searchable keywords |
