When my kids ask me questions I can’t answer (which is... all the time), I usually just open ChatGPT, repeat the question, and let it respond. Then the kids start asking the phone directly, usually followed by “Too difficult! Make it easier!”

But I’m curious about your idea, are you thinking the LLM would generate a podcast version of the answer in real-time? Or would it be more like, “Let me make a podcast episode for that” and play it later?

Definitely the latter. From my experience with my kids, they love listening to the same episode multiple times, and it helps them absorb the material better. Also, it makes for a great bedtime routine.
