Google’s Discover feedis a handy way to find news stories relevant to your interests quickly. However, finding the time to go through all the stories it curates can be hard. To solve this, Google has devised a new way to engage with your Discover feed by turning it into a shortpodcast generated by AI.
The feature is called Daily Listen and was released via Google Labs. It’s available now in the US and turns your Discover feed into a five-minute podcast that recaps all the top stories (via9to5Google). To try out Daily Listen, you’ll need to enroll in the Google Labs program, which lets users try out new features before they get released widely.

Daily Listen is similar to NotebookLM’s Audio Overviews
Google uses generative AI to create Daily Listen, similar to the way it does forAudio Overviews in NotebookLM. Spotify Wrapped last year also had anAI podcastfeature built using Google’s NotebookLM technology. While Daily Listen is an audio recap of your Discover feed, it does offer an on-screen transcript so you may read along. Additionally, it has a related stories tab and controls to pause, rewind and fast-forward the episode.
The first time I used NoteBookLM, I was impressed by the AI’s ability to create a conversational podcast based on my research document. I hope Daily Listen does a similar job and isn’t rife with inaccuracies. I can already see myself using this feature if I want to listen to the news in my Discover feed while driving. Daily Listen is an experimental feature, so Google could decide not to integrate it fully with its Discover feed for all users.
