Happy to report my testing has revealed you can generate up to 35 episodes in around 2 minutes with podcast-it. Each episode in my test was about 2 minutes in length, funny enough . . .
Ran into gotcha with podcast-it. After deploying, I have found the worker doesn't actually make the episodes. It seems I need to rethink the architecture for this project 😔.
Just reached the final stage before I start serving my AI-generated podcast content. This final stage is me deploying podcast-it to a production environment, then rebuild my website with the necessary updates to host the episodes 😎
