What problem does it solve? Converting written articles or trending topics into listenable podcast episodes normally requires scriptwriting, voice recording, and audio editing. This Skill automates the entire pipeline, turning source material or a search topic into a finished dual-host or single-host podcast. ## Core Features & Use Cases - File-to-Podcast: Accepts a text file (txt/md/docx/pdf) and generates a dialogue-style podcast script plus synthesized audio. - Web Search Mode: Searches the web for a user-specified topic, compiles the results, and generates a podcast from fresh information. - Automatic Duration Control: Scales episode length between 3-20 minutes based on content size, with manual override and retry-based script validation. - Use Case: A content creator pastes a long industry report and receives a 10-minute two-host conversational podcast (podcast_script.md and podcast.wav) ready for publishing. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate a dual-host podcast from your uploaded article file, or request a podcast about a specific topic such as "latest AI breakthroughs" with a target duration.
