My agent builds me a daily podcast feed with the ads cut out

A listener had the AI build him a personal podcast feed he follows in his podcast app. Each day it looks for one episode he would actually enjoy, based on his taste and recent talks, and skips the day if nothing is good enough. It downloads the pick, writes out the words locally, finds the sponsor blocks and cuts them out, checks the joins, and adds the episode to his private feed with a note on why it was picked.

How it works

  1. Daily search for an episode matched to his taste
  2. At most one pick, or none
  3. Download and transcribe it locally
  4. Find and cut the sponsor blocks
  5. Check the joins
  6. Publish to his private feed with a summary and the reason for the pick

Why it’s worth knowing

It edits real audio, cutting the sponsor reads out of an episode and sewing it back together, then serves it like a show made only for him.
