Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth – a new AI-curated podcast

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share the results of a project I’ve been working on. With the help of AI (Google NotebookLM), I’ve curated a Spotify podcast that explores the history of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, from Mindaugas, who began his reign in 1239, to Stanislaw August Poniatowski, who abdicated after the third partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795.

You can listen to it on Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grand-dukes-of-lithuania

The podcast consists of brief episodes (8-15 minutes each) in English. I originally started creating them for myself, but after putting a few together, I thought others might enjoy them too.

I was inspired by Eimantas Gudas’s recent books Blue Blood and Grieving Bloodwhich sparked my interest in Lithuanian and Polish history. I also felt that a podcast might appeal more to younger audiences, encouraging them to learn about Poland’s and Lithuanian’s history, and the people who shaped it.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you give it a listen! Let me know if you spot any discrepancies or have suggestions for improvement.

Best regards,

Mindaugas
