What problem does it solve? Turning research, articles, or topics into polished podcast episodes requires scripting, voice production, and audio engineering skills that most creators lack. This Skill automates the full pipeline from structured research to conversational scripts and normalized audio files. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Script Generation: Produces podcast scripts in multiple formats (solo explainer, conversational duo, interview, debate, narrative) with segment timing and speaker balance guidelines. - Audio Production: Renders scripts to audio via ElevenLabs TTS with per-speaker voices, then normalizes loudness to the -16 LUFS podcast standard using ffmpeg. - Series Planning: Creates show bibles, episode calendars, and continuity conventions for recurring podcasts, plus multilingual episode support. - Use Case: A user says "create an episode about this week's Champions League results" and receives a researched two-host script, then a finished MP3 ready for publishing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a podcast episode about your chosen topic and specify whether you want a script only or full audio production with an ElevenLabs API key.
