“Daily Dad Jokes,” an AI powered stand-up comedy podcast from Klassic Studios, announced today it has joined iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac. The popular “Daily Dad Jokes” podcast delivers jokes that are guaranteed to make listeners laugh as their family and friends groan. All jokes are sourced from the Dad Jokes subreddit on Reddit and are curated and produced into a daily show utilizing Klassic Studios’ proprietary Auto Podcast Technology. This state-of-the-art technology produces new content every day, including jokes generated by algorithms that adapt and evolve over time.
The podcast, started in late 2020 by Klassic Studios and believed to be the first AI-produced show, has surpassed 10 million downloads and consistently ranks in the top Comedy (Stand Up) podcast charts. And, according to a recent article published by BBC Psychological Society, “The power of Dad jokes,” research shows dad jokes empower kids to become better adults.
Bob Jeffey, the podcast’s AI-generated host, is the creation of Graeme Klass, founder of Klassic Studios and a 30-year technology industry veteran who has been coding since he was 16. Klass and the team at Klassic Studios have built the tools, processes and know-how to bring AI-generated audio to the podcast world, combining his love of comedy, coding and podcasts. Klass is a husband and father of three children who enjoys making his family groan (and rarely laugh) with his dad jokes.
“We are excited to explore where this fascinating world of AI will take us and we relish the opportunity to grow not only ‘Daily Dad Jokes’ with iHeartPodcasts but other AI-produced shows as well,” said Graeme Klass.
“Daily Dad Jokes” is now distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Listen now here.
