I started a podcast in 2021, which has 43 episodes with writing exercises in it. I’m thinking of turning it into a YouTube channel, but I don’t want to just post the audio.

Here are some of the ideas I’ve had for adding video

• Rerecord the podcasts with a camera pointing at me: Each of my episodes is about 5-10 minutes long, so this isn’t as bad as it seems. I also have a transcript for each one, and with my janky teleprompter setup, I might be able to pull this off.
• Record myself sketchnoting the episode: I am not currently good at sketchnoting, but this might be a way to get better. I tried it out and it’s very hard to do this live. But, I can do it slow and fix it in my video editor.
• Make a presentation and record it: This is probably the easiest thing I could do. I’m guessing it would also be the least successful
• Show drawings in a presentation: This would use the drawings from the sketchnote, but instead of you watching me draw them, you see them in a deck.
• Stylized Transcript: Normally you see this as an overlay on TikToks or shorts. It can look nice—maybe someone has made a generator.
• AI: Just putting this here as placeholder. I’ve seen some videos that feel like they have been made by auto-generating (or matching) stock video to the audio. I hate them, but they aren’t horrible.
• Fiverr: There are people that can make nice looking videos from audio. There are also some that look like they use AI (see above)

Of all of these, the stylized transcript appeals to me the most because I think I can write a script to do it and then I can make it look like however I want.
