Let me if you have any feedback

You can pick the sources, generate audio, and subscribe to the resulting feed in a podcast app that supports custom RSS (I use Castbox).

The project supports full article narration as well as spoken summaries. Full narration uses Edge TTS and needs no API key; summaries use Gemini and require your own key (though the free limit is quite generous)! You can set a maximum episode length and longer full readings split into numbered parts at natural text boundaries.

There’s a prerecorded sample on the demo page, and a simple command in the README that fetches an original sample article and generates fresh audio without an API key. The package can run locally or on a schedule in your own GitHub repository using GitHub Actions!

I wanted to turn some of my favorite newsletters into podcasts (like Seth’s Blog and A Learning A Day) and couldn’t find a free and simple solution that already existed. Let me know what you think! Demo: https://akspad.github.io/newsletter-to-podcast/

Do you think the model would be good at other under-served languages as well? Or is it hypertuned to just these?
