š Premiere has rolled out a beta feature to edit interview footage via text transcripts. Weāve been operating this way for about a year using Descript and I canāt imagine going back to anything else (we just released a video on the workflow). Premiereās beta doesnāt look as powerful as what we do in Descript, but being built into the platform is a huge advantage. Also, you can do this with a third-party tool called Transcriptive.
šļø YouTube is testing new podcast features. For those in the test, when you click Upload youāll see a new option for Podcast, which lets you mark the video as a podcast episode. You can also mark playlists as podcast playlists (Iāve seen this in the wild with some legacy channels) and there will be podcast-specific analytics. This will presumably help feed content into YouTubeās podcast home page. Oh, and if I didnāt talk about it enough already, if youāre not recording videos with your podcasts you better get on it.
š¤ Great write-up on using a variety of AI and no-code tools to create a complete landing page.

Long Tail Content That Keeps Working for You
When I was researching the James Clear video, one question he asks before creating content or participating in something for someone else is how long will it keep working for him after he hits publish.
For example, he doesnāt do radio interviews anymore because once the interview is done, thatās it. No one is ever going to hear it again.
Podcasts, on the other hand, are great. Years after he records an episode people will still keep discovering it.
So when youāre deciding where to put your energy and effort, ask yourself which type of output will keep working for you.
Besides podcasts, a few others are blog posts (especially around evergreen topics vs trends) and YouTube videos.
