The Story Behind the Show

How one person's curiosity, two imaginary AI hosts, and a voice-to-podcast pipeline created something truly weird.

15 minutes · Narrated by Daniel Rosehill

In this special episode, Daniel Rosehill — the creator of My Weird Prompts — steps out from behind the curtain to explain what this AI-generated podcast is all about.

He discusses the origins of the project, his motivation for using AI as a learning tool, and the technical pipeline that transforms voice prompts into full podcast episodes.

Daniel explains how he uses voice-to-AI workflows to generate thoughtful responses to his burning questions, and why he chose to create fictional AI hosts — Herman the donkey and Corn the sloth — rather than using generic AI voices. He covers the challenges of finding affordable text-to-speech providers, the evolution of the pipeline through multiple iterations, and why he decided to make the podcast public.

This behind-the-scenes look reveals the human curiosity driving the machine-generated content, and invites listeners to understand the experiment at the heart of My Weird Prompts.
