What it does
Paste text, point at files or drop a URL and two AI hosts talk through the content, producing an MP3 you can drop into a feed and hear in Apple Podcasts, Spotify or whatever you already use. Unlike the closed versions of this idea, the script, prompts, host roles and voices are all yours to set. Keep other people's articles to your own listening rather than a public feed, and expect the conversational rendering to wander from the source. No licence file was found.
