He Built an AI Podcast and It Became the #1 Show.

This episode isn’t about AI tools. It’s about what happens when content makes itself. Adam (levy.eth) built a fully automated, AI-generated podcast about the Epstein Files. No hosts. No studio. No production team. It became the #1 podcast in the UK, beating ABC News, the BBC, and Audible — and he was doing about 5% of the work. In this episode, Samir sits down with Adam to break down exactly how he built it, what it cost, and what the numbers look like on the other side. But the conversation quickly becomes something bigger — a real-time reckoning with what AI means for the creator economy, for the people who've spent years building audiences by hand, and for what it means to make something worth making at all. They get into: How Distill became the foundation for a fully autonomous podcast network Why daily content is the stickiest product in media — and how AI is the only thing that can truly do it The economics that are breaking open: $1 per episode, profitable at 20 listeners What the five-minute mark tells us about where audiences are headed Why AI won't kill creative careers — but will force creators to be radically more honest This is one of the most important conversations we've had on the show. And it's only getting more relevant by the day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
