Podcast

With the help of the AI tool www.wondercraft.ai, I developed a short podcast to introduce my research on early modern amulet culture and practical knowledge (Obedient Matter and Powerful Bundles: Amulet Culture and Practical Knowledge in Early Modern Europe). My goal was to explore how AI can assist in reflecting on my ongoing research and translating it into a more accessible format.

The script of the podcast emerged through several stages: I uploaded a detailed research plan (c. 10,000 words) to Wondercraft, instructing it to generate a five-minute podcast in the style of an interview and in a friendly and amusing tone. The AI-generated script served as a foundation, which I then extensively edited to refine the content, adjust the tone, and ensure accuracy. The final script is thus a somewhat playful yet collaborative effort, combining AI-generated material with my own creative and scholarly input.
