ABOUT THE EPISODE
In this episode of The Content Business, Ash & Kane explore how AI is rapidly reshaping content creation, media distribution, and monetisation across podcasts, YouTube, and social platforms.
They break down the rise of AI voice licensing, multilingual dubbing, AI-generated influencers, and how businesses are already monetising attention at scale. The conversation focuses on what these developments actually mean for creators, media businesses, and anyone trying to build and monetise an audience in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.
Ash & Kane also discuss whether attention spans are actually shrinking, why YouTube-style content is outperforming traditional media, and how AI tools are lowering the barrier to creating, repurposing, and distributing content globally.
