Earlier quoted context omitted.

I didn't much love hosting on Anchor/Spotify, but I made this in half an hour and I didn't want to have to get into RSS/site generation. Do you know of an easy way to dump audio files and some metadata somewhere and get a Podcast with RSS? I can upload there as well. I'll try Polly, thanks! The current voice annoys me too.

You seriously made all this in half an hour?

Well, it might have taken 45'. It's all auto-generated, it was really quick.

I wrote a script later to automate the audio mixing, that took another hour. Now I can generate a ready-to-upload episode with one command, though.

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.

You could use Transistor [0].

I can't think of anything worse to listen to while trying to sleep than robotic computer voices. Azure cognitive services has human voicegeneration https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

That sounds more robotic to me than the WaveNet voices, though. EDIT: Actually some of the other voices are really good... I'll try that, thanks!

Yeah I think the Christopher voice for English (United States) would be very nice fit for your podcast.

These fairy tales are quite hypnotic for me due to weirdness of AI generated grammar and plot. They reminded me of a beautiful fairy tale Richard Bandler wrote. It is a fable written intentionally using hypnotic language techniques (part of Neuro Linguistic Programming set of patterns) and a nice read.

As fascinating as this is, I would never allow myself to go to sleep while an AI is talking to my ear.

I wouldn't fall into sleep because of intermittent bursts of laughter over absurdity of the stories...
