## Abstract (arXiv)

This study examined whether embedding LLM-guided reflection prompts in an interactive AI-generated podcast improved learning and user experience compared to a version without prompts. Thirty-six undergraduates participated, and while learning outcomes were similar across conditions, reflection prompts reduced perceived attractiveness, highlighting a call for more research on reflective interactivity design.
