I tried listening to audiobooks generated with tts. It takes me out of it most of the time, and I lose focus. That podcast thing from google was the first time I felt like I could listen to an entire thing without feeling the uncanny valley thing. And I knew it was genAI. So I'm looking for that, but for my content. Grab a bunch of articles (long form, deeply researched) and "podcast" them but with natural voices, sans hype. Or books. Have them ready when I'm out and about.


The Google podcasts are so cringey positive it emotionally pains me. Nobody finds pineapple on pizza that amazing.
