Turn any document into an AI-generated podcast conversation
NotebookLM Audio, Google's expanded feature for NotebookLM released in 2026, transforms any uploaded content into a natural-sounding podcast conversation. Upload research papers, business documents, course materials, or YouTube links, and two AI hosts will discuss the content in an engaging, conversational format that sounds remarkably human. The 2026 update adds customizable host personalities, support for 50+ languages, interactive mode (pause and ask questions to the hosts), episode series for ongoing topics, and integration with major podcast platforms for direct publishing. Audio quality rivals professional podcasts with natural intonation, laughter, and conversational flow. It's become hugely popular with educators, researchers, and content creators who want to repurpose written content into audio format for wider reach.
