## Resource

Mark Hunter, co-founder of Podcast Studio Glasgow, explored the rich history and dramatic evolution of podcasting. The conversation spanned from the medium’s early days in 2005—including production with Roland recorders and Garage Band—to the current industry shift toward video production, primarily for content clipping and social media marketing. A major focus was the revolutionary impact of AI tools like Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Descript, which both speakers praised for drastically improving workflow efficiency through transcription, filler word removal, and content generation.
