It’s a Super Space Robot St. Patrick's Day Spectacular! Join Mark Dauner as he talks about a new content marketing tool he’s been experimenting with called Jasper that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate content. What’s the verdict? Listen to the podcast to find out!
If you are listening to this on the date it's been published, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As you may know, the Super Space Robot podcast started as a series of short audio plays featuring a robot that helped people with content. Last month, we even had one where Super Space Robot helped Cupid with a somewhat awkward content situation. You may be surprised to learn that this robot was not, in fact, a real robot.
I know. He's very convincing.
He's not real. However, I have been dealing with real robots. More specifically, AI and machine learning-powered systems that are surprisingly capable, reasonably low cost, and quite useful.
Over the last several months, I've been experimenting with a few different tools while working on content development for myself and others. One is the software I'm using to record and edit podcasts. Another is an SEO tool that I wish I had back when working with content in the corporate world. I'll talk about those in the future.
The third tool I've been working with promises to put all of us writers and creators out of a job within the next several years. Maybe. That tool is called Jasper and it uses AI to generate copy and content with a wide variety of applications.

Try Jasper.ai For Yourself
To sign up for Jasper and try it out for yourself, you can use this link to get started. I believe you will also receive a balance of bonus words by using the link (I will too, which is cool). This post is not paid promotion. In fact, I've paid them a few hundred dollars over the last several months to use it. If you want to try it out, I'd love it if you used that link.
What was I drinking in honor of St. Patrick's Day?
Redbreast 12-Year-Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. This is also not a paid promotion but Redbreast, if you're out there, get ahold of me.
A Thin Lizzy St. Patrick's Day Playlist
This has become a podcast that comes out on holidays, apparently. And today, as I publish this, is St. Patrick's Day. I've got a rock and roll playlist for you that's perfect for this day, or really any other day of the year, which means you can listen to it every day!
It's a collection of my favorite songs from Irish rock and roll legends, Thin Lizzy. This is a band that never received the acclaim and popularity that they were due, particularly in the United States. They were much bigger in Europe. But they've got a ton of great songs, and lean into their Irish roots on many of them, which I think you'll see if you listen to the playlist. Thin Lizzy is one of my favorite bands, and I hope you enjoy the playlist on both Apple Music and Spotify.
