Show HN: Autopod, Automate Your Reading List to Podcasts

Hi HN,

I've been reading so much content lately around LLMs for my work and research, so I built a simple tool to turn my "read later" links into podcasts to keep up with the super fast changes happening in the industry. It uses n8n, OpenAI, and Raindrop.io to pull content, generate scripts via AI, convert them to audio, and save the result to Google Drive. Now I can catch up on articles and papers while on the go.

It's cost-effective (~$0.20 or less for 20 minutes podcast) and fully customizable—you can tweak prompts, adjust lengths, or swap components. It is optimized for cost, so the voice quality isn’t perfect yet as is, but it can easily improve by swapping the TTS model with a better one.

The workflow is open source, and the setup is straightforward. Check it out and let me know your feedback or ideas for improvements!
