Google's NotebookLM is an AI application that can create podcasts (also notes, outlines, thought webs, etc.) by simply supplying it with source material. To give you an example of what this looks and sounds like check out the 13-minute podcast (below on left) in Spanish that it created from analyzing the transcripts from all of the commercials in Mayomanía. It will accept Google docs/slides, YouTube videos, websites, and copy and pasted text as source materials. It's worth checking out to see just what it can do and think about other applications of it for your classes. It is basically doing what students are expected to do on the AP exam by reviewing material from various sources  and providing a single, cohesive response to them.  The input language of the source documents can be varied and the output language, which used to be limited to English, can now be changed to all sorts of different languages.  In the English language one there is even a fun Beta feature that allows you to "call in" to the podcast to participate in the conversation in real time.  You can also customize the response so that the AI follows more specific guidelines or prompts.

Mayonnaise Recipes

I'd be remiss if I didn't include some recipes that prominently feature mayonnaise in here. I tried to pick some that are relatively easy to prepare and low cost. My personal recommendation is the classic completo italiano from Chile (FYI: vegan mayonnaise and hot dogs are a thing).

Mayonnaise Commercials in other languages

We are well aware of how jealous all of the teachers and students of languages other than Spanish are of Mayomanía. Here is a little something to inspire them to create their own version and an opportunity for some great cultural comparisons for all.
