💬 DIY Podcast Generator 🎙️

A simple implementation of the Google NotebookLM Audio overview function (of course, the performance of this system is somewhat inferior). But you can run 💬 DIY Podcast Generator on your PC, and generate a podcast video with captions. :)

Demo

podcast_video.mp4

Prerequisites
