What it does
Turn research into a spoken podcast, script, synthesize, stitch. Use when: podcast, generate a podcast, audio briefing, narrate, or turn this into audio.
Podcast
When to use
Producing a spoken-audio episode from a topic, document set, or briefing, the full pipeline from research to an mp3.
Setup
Requires ffmpeg for stitching (brew install ffmpeg, apt install ffmpeg). Voices come from the tts skill. Fail loud when ffmpeg is missing.
Workflow
- Research the topic and draft a spoken script (~150 words per minute of audio). Read it back for approval before synthesizing.
- Synthesize per segment with
tts; keep segments under 2 minutes each. - Stitch:
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i segments.txt -codec:a libmp3lame out.mp3. - Report duration, segment count, and the output path.
Non-goals
- Do not publish or upload the episode anywhere.
- Do not synthesize more than the approved script.
- Do not clone real people's voices (see
ttsnon-goals).
