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.

personalized-podcast FAQ
- Is personalized-podcast free?
- personalized-podcast itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use personalized-podcast?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does personalized-podcast work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use personalized-podcast commercially?
- We could not confirm this. The publisher does not state it clearly, so we have not verified whether what you make with it may be used commercially. Ask the publisher before relying on it.
