‘AI Talks with Bone & Joint’ is a new podcast that will turn ground-breaking papers from the journals Bone & Joint Open, Bone & Joint Research and Bone & Joint 360 into bitesize audio summaries. This new service will give their audience a new way to keep up-to-date with the latest articles while multitasking, enabling them to discover which content they may wish to dive into further and in more detail.

The podcast is created using a GenAI tool developed by 67 Bricks, a leading technology consultancy specialising in information publishing, as part of their long-term development partnership. The tool was developed in a matter of weeks, and will significantly reduce the time and effort from Bone & Joint staff to scale up podcast production, supporting the ongoing needs of their time-poor users.  

The podcast is presented by two AI-generated hosts, who talk conversationally through the research findings in a single paper. The tools’ UI has been built to give the Bone & Joint team oversight of the input and generated content, keeping a human ‘in-the-loop’ and safeguarding the content's accuracy and integrity.

“We are excited to launch this innovative podcast which will give our users a useful summary of a paper and help expand the audience for our journals. Working with 67 Bricks to harness the AI technology in such a ground-breaking way builds on our long-term partnership and helps us to keep leading innovation in our sector” says Emma Vodden, Director of Publishing & Innovation at Bone & Joint.

The first episode was published on 27 November and is available to listen to now on all major podcast platforms.
