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.

The main problem is giving out the anchor.fm domain for your RSS feed, as it marries you to Anchor forever. In theory, you can get anchor to 301 redirect your subscribers somewhere else, but I've found that podcast clients tend to keep the old URL. You can use Anchor to generate your RSS feed and host your content while still sharing the RSS URL on a domain you own. So you'd give out a URL like feeds.deepdreams.com/r…

Hm, yeah, I should at least whip up something like that. Getting the domain is easy, I just don't want to have to set up another static site or service just to proxy a file... Maybe I should bite the bullet and set up GitLab pages plus a simple script to output an RSS feed.

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.

Hmm yeah, he does sound much better than the current one. Thanks!

You seriously made all this in half an hour?

I've worked with Stavros a lot over the past decade. Half an hour is totally plausible...

"He chained up hundred of hungry great beetles (or is it Beatles?) in another room." This is gold.

I should post the transcripts as well, actually :P Here's that one: https://www.pastery.net/fsbjzc/

It's beetles!

Beatles would be better. Hundreds of hungry Johns and Pauls chained in another room, ordered to make music.

Can we get another story about prince John and princess Yoko?

I didn’t check OP’s username so your comment made me wonder what an amazing technology platform is Stavros!

Here's a similar demo I worked on that lets you generate a podcast from a text description: https://twitter.com/sharifshameem/status/1380145070624542722...

The GPT-3 generated conversations were coherent most of the time, and even interesting! However the generated speech via Google Cloud's API was monotonous and could do with a bit more intonation and excitement.
