Archive link … unfortunately, as I feared, the audio didn’t work for me. Here is the direct link to the clip.

I edited the title because people thought this was about actual podcasts. It just generates conversational audio about the content.

    I think that it is impressive, but not necessarily that useful? In particular, you can’t really trust what they’re saying to be accurate so it doesn’t actually give you that much usable information.

    Very cool, but I’m not sure what I would actually use it for.

      This is just fancy transcription, the only thing you can’t trust it to be saying is the article itself…

        No, the podcast can absolutely missrepresent the thing that it’s sumarizing. The podcast also adds commentary, and I think it’s especially this commentary that I find unreliable.

          Ah, if it also adds commentary then sure. When I tested it out a few times it was just retelling the articles verbatim.
