Show HN: The Daily FM – Turn any source into a daily podcast

I built The Daily FM because I wanted a daily summary of the latest AI news sent to my podcast app and then realized it was useful in summarizing other stuff:

- Any blogs, websites, or X handles

- The top Hacker News stories with comments

- Long podcasts (think Lex Fridman)

- Changes in state/federal legislation

It pulls your sources, writes a script with a frontier-ish model of your choice, runs it through TTS (MAI-2 studio voices), and publishes a standard RSS feed. You can also combine several pods into one feed for one subscribe point.

Under the hood it’s using Cloudflare Workers, queues, browser rendering, and the AI Gateway, but the TTS models aren’t very good on Cloudflare so I switched to the MAI-Voice-2 models with OpenRouter.

I also created a public library you can subscribe to without ever signing up, or if you sign up, you can combine a bunch into a single feed and use your own sources as well and choose from other voice options if you don’t like “Excited Ethan” at 1.1x speed.

Feedback welcome.
