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 to 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 guidance. - Audio Production: Renders scripts to audio via ElevenLabs text-to-speech with per-speaker voices, sentence-level chunking, and loudness normalization to -16 LUFS for Apple/Spotify specs. - Series Planning: Creates show bibles, episode calendars, and continuity conventions for recurring podcasts, plus multilingual support for non-English audiences. - Use Case: A user says "create an episode about the latest transfer window" and receives a researched two-host script, then a fully produced MP3 episode with distinct voices for each host. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a podcast episode about your chosen topic and specify whether you want just the script or full audio production with an ElevenLabs API key.
