I find it fitting that I'm sharing out about Google's latest darling, Audio Overview within NotebookLM. I added some garnish to the text-to-podcast feature: cover art, lyrics, music/sung lyrics...all done with free tools (Ideogram and Suno respectively).

Good interview with creativity author, Steven Johnson, who is on the NotebookLM team.

If the output of NLM is useful, great, but it can also be an exercise in analyzing what works well and not.
Really helpful for a first-pass of lots of materials, that you can then dive deeper into on your own, or through NLM's interface.
