***The Washington Post*‘s new offering, “Your Personal Podcast,” uses artificial intelligence to customize podcasts for its users,** blending the algorithm you might find in a news feed with the convenience of portable audio, reports [NPR](https://www.npr.org/2025/12/13/nx-s1-5641047/washington-posts-ai-podcast?ref=capitolcommunicator.com).

The podcast, continues NPR, ” is “personalized automatically based on your reading history” of *Post* articles, [the newspaper says](https://helpcenter.washingtonpost.com/hc/en-us/articles/44243916498587-Your-Personal-Podcast?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) on its help page. Listeners also have some control: At the click of a button, they can alter their podcast’s topic mix — or even swap its computer-generated “hosts.”

“The AI podcast immediately made headlines — and drew criticisms from people[ questioning its accuracy](https://www.semafor.com/article/12/11/2025/washington-posts-ai-generated-podcasts-rife-with-errors-fictional-quotes?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), and the motives behind it.
