In addition to others comments, these need to be much longer to be effective. 5 to 10 minutes is not long enough to really bore me Great idea though!

Yeah, unfortunately the model starts wanting to end the story after 5 minutes :/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hmm, could you do an ensemble type podcast? Story, gentle musical interlude, story in a different voice, lather, rinse, repeat? Maybe you could even position the whole thing as glued together from bits of story a fictional other-podcast left on the cutting room floor!

Probably, but I think there's a way to get the model to write more stuff. It's a model after all, generating stuff is what it does :P

Interesting concept. Two suggestions: 1- Don't host on anchor. Podcasting is an open standard. Don't let companies (like Spotify or Apple) take it over. Check https://podcastindex.org/ 2- The voice is too mechanical for this to be actually reasonable to listen to at night, potentially could be listenable with AWS Polly Neural voices, it's pretty good.

Cool idea but that voice is like sandpaper to my ears. Maybe a female voice, a bit quieter (the soundscapes are almost completely silent for me) and maybe add some high-room-size, long decay (5-10, maybe even 20 seconds), wide panned (like 100%) and moderately diffused (maybe 10-20%) reverb to the voice with like 30% mix or so, which would add a very airy tone and help the voice blend in a bit. If the TTS engine has…

This is great feedback, thanks! Maybe I should open-source the code. Actually, fuck it: https://gitlab.com/stavros/deep-dreams I'll implement your suggestions (or as many as I can), thanks!
