Tom Fox explains how podcasts and books can fuel each other in a circular content-creation process and how AI can assist as a research and editorial assistant. Drawing on experience founding the Compliance Podcast Network (growing from five to 75 shows) and the Texas Hill Country Podcast Network (from three to 15 shows, with 3,000 subscribers), they emphasize the value of podcasting, especially in rural areas. Examples include creating a podcast that led to a book about seven older female artists, producing a leader’s autobiography by recording outlined life stories into transcripts (earning a gold podcast award), and turning books into podcast series (e.g., risk management/AI, FCPA Survival Guide, and Megan Dougherty’s Podcasting for Business to support her launch). They describe writing The Compliance Handbook via daily podcast recordings as an editing tool and using AI prompts to generate topic ideas, guest outlines, blog drafts, white paper drafts, chapter drafts, and social post drafts—always requiring human fact-checking and editing.
