This week, we’re testing an exciting new AI tool called Notebook LM. This tool takes written articles, processes the data, and turns them into podcasts with artificially generated voices.
We decided to try it out using an article by Monica Royal, founder of Nerd Nourishment. Monika attended the 2024 Audit Analytics and AI Conference and wrote a great LinkedIn article about her key takeaways. We uploaded her article to Notebook LM, and the result is an unedited, AI-generated podcast episode.
If you're curious about how AI can transform how we share and listen to information, give it a listen!

A favorite topic of mine: how to move up the analytics maturity model. Colleen Knuff from TeamMate is hear to share the evidence of how to do so through the results of the Touchstone Survey.
We stick to two main topics, but they're big ones that need to be heard regardless of how advanced your analytics program is:
- How successful programs are moving up the maturity model
- The three biggest stumbling blocks to getting where you need to be on the model
The survey is open and will stay open, hopefully for years to come, as a way for audit departments to see where they fit on the model.
I strongly encourage everyone to complete the survey by clicking the link, grabbing a snack, and digging in.
If you want to talk to her directly about the survey then you can connect with Colleen on LinkedIn.
