NotebookLM podcasts are like a caricature of a real podcast. Every little verbal technique or narrative style that might be used by a normal podcaster in a subtle way is taken to an extreme. The last one I listened to one host would repeat a keyword or phrase the other host had just said for emphasis — except they did incessantly — with multiple words in every sentence for many sentences in a row.

> Persian I'm glad the name of my native language is written correctly. In many cases, people say "Farsi", which is offensive to many Iranians because it's the Arabic version of the word "Parsi" (unlike Persian, Arabic doesn't have "p", "g", "ch", "zh"). It's like someone calling English "Anglaise" because that's how the French say it. PS: Contrary to common belief, Persian and Arabic are totally different languages,…
Arabic is not Aramaic. Please correct your sources. I’m also quite curious about the sounds of “ch” and “zh” which exist in Arabic as ش and ج, or did you mean something else?
"zh" is written as "ژ" in Persian (sounds like bourgeoisie in French).

"ch" is written as "چ" in Persian (sounds like channel). "zh" is written as "ژ" in Persian (sounds like bourgeoisie in French).
In Arabic[1], there are two close phonemes: `/dʒ/` for `ج` and `/ʃ/` for `ش`
The difference in both phonemes is minimal and are practically affricates[2] of each other (where `d` or `t` can precede a `ʒ` or a `ʃ`), so it seems these sounds are present in both Arabic and Persian.
These variations are also within the dialectal distribution of either languages. For example `ج` is pronounced `/dʒ/` in Algeria and `/ʒ/` in Morocco.

Yeah it was incredible in the beginning because it was so novel. Now it's just annoying. Half of the dialogue is repeated and it takes forever to get a point across. Never used NLM, but I wonder if that's something that can be tuned out?
NotebookLM audio overviews/podcasts have been an absolute boon for my homeschooled kids. They devour audiobooks and podcasts, and they love learning by listening to these first. Then when we come together for class, we discuss what was covered, and can spend time diving into specifics or doing activities based on the content. It’s super nice to have another option for a learning medium here. To generate them, we’ve s…

Have an audio link and timestamp to this?
The link is here: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c36ea335-6686-474d-bf... The fumu fumu is at 01:50. The podcast is about the impact of AI on higher education in Japan. I prompted NotebookLM briefly in Japanese about the topic, and it collected ten sources in Japanese and English that it used as the basis for the audio overview.

Full disclosure, I work for Google opinions are my own etc etc The LLM built into YouTube is one of the few LLM chatbots bolted onto existing apps that I actually find useful. Not just for summaries but questions like "what is the timestamp in this 2 hour video where they talk about _____".
"LLM built into YouTube…" The what now? This is the first I've heard of this.
