Imagine you're on a long road trip. Kids in the back, parents up front.
Years ago, my wife and I would put on a Dora the Explorer CD and hand the kids a storybook so they could follow along with the pictures. The problem? One storybook, four kids.
In this episode, I demo a different kind of podcast — one that works as audio for the parents up front AND as video for the kids watching in the back. To show what's possible, I produced a short kids' storybook called "Terry's Great Run: Hope Across Canada."
I also walk through how I made it (yes, with help from AI — ChatGPT for the story and images, Google Gemini and Kling AI for the animation).
If this sparks ideas for your own show, I'd love it if you shared the episode with a friend.
