Provide it a Git repo and it will generate a podcast episode all about the project and code.
I like the web ui of this tool. The output is - different, though the wooden speaking style of the technical expert is a lot like me!

One very minor issue with the Podnews RSS feed. You have a recurring 'ALSO TRY' episode, but the image link is broken. It points to an asset on BuzzSprout, but when you try to access it you get an access denied.
Doesn't stop you playing the episode, but just results in a broken image in a player.

I was listening to your New 2 Pod episode with Sam and see that the main enclosure is an MP4 with the audio as an alternate. Is this going to be a video-first podcast for all episodes? Just interested.

On PWR you mentioned a few audiobook alternatives to Audible, and wondered if you have heard of XigXag. They're a UK based Audiobook company with a growing catalogue. They charge £7.99 per book, no subscription, nice and simple. They also have a feature called X-Book, where some titles also include an e-book like version so you can read along, or mix reading & listening. https://xigxag.co.uk

'providing potentially unauthorized access to third-party audio or video streaming, catalogs, and discovery services'?
Not had this myself (at least not yet), but a few devs who use one of my libraries has and asked how I've dealt with it. Wondered if anyone had any tips or suggestions? Cheers.

On the Late Night Linux feed though, the tag is missing a value so appears as a blank box in apps that support that tag.
It's showing correctly on the Linux Matters feed:

Locally, I pass these in as build time parameters so they're not stored in source. How do you do this for Podverse, or are you using a F-Droid Reproducible Build? Cheers.

I don't mind ads if they're relevant and not too long, but what really frustrates me is how repetitive they can be. UK streaming services has to be the worst. A show can have 5 ad breaks in it, and every one plays the same ads in the same order!
I'll check out LindyBeige and see what ads I get on there 🙂

In your latest episode on Fluttercon, your chapters are not working. What are you using to generate them as they are not in the format I am expecting?
