podcast recommendations

march 26, 2023 | other prompts →

Podcasts are an invaluable resource for boring commutes, rainy days, and background chatter around the house while you’re whacking away at your weekend chore list. Finding podcasts to listen to can be challenging, as most podcast apps have poor recommendation algorithms that suggest new shows strictly based on the general genre of podcasts in your listening history.

Using ChatGPT’s more generalized knowledge and conversational nature, we can request recommendations that are more valuable and practical.

Recommended AI model: GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 (Access both via ChatGPT)

Below is a copy-and-pasted list of my recent podcast listening history.

[ PASTE PODCAST HISTORY HERE ] Please recommend some new podcasts based on the tone, general content, and structure that the podcasts in my history have. Podcasts you recommend should be easy for me to get into, while also feeling new enough so that I’m not listening to the exact same content.

what to expect ChatGPT will identify some common traits between podcasts in your pasted history. From here, it will recommend a few podcasts that align with what it feels you will like. It generally also provides a brief description of the podcasts, allowing you to determine whether its recommendations are valuable (or a bust!). Consider follow up questions or requests if you feel ChatGPT’s recommendations are too similar to your existing podcasts or if you feel like it missed the mark on what you like. Nudging it in the right direction conversationally can lead to more valuable recommendations.
