Show HN: I built a pipeline that generates a comedy podcast end-to-end with AI
https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tIqXUuQFuIyIOuBkie6Sh
The pipeline takes a trending topic and produces a fully rendered ~22 min comedy podcast episode with three AI characters (PRODUCER, CRITIC, DUMBASS). Everything is automated: premise ideation, research, outline generation, script writing with a writers' room (punch-up passes, verification gates), voice synthesis via ElevenLabs, music bed mixing, and publishing to Spotify.Stack: Temporal for...

The agent framework is definitely not a grift. It's currently scoring 70%+ on Terminal Bench 2. It will be on the leaderboard in a few days.
To stress-test it I pointed it at a dumb task: generate an entire novel. It wrote ~40K words across 11 chapters in about 10 minutes. The "author-bot" uses gollem's agent primitives — chained agents for chapter planning, continuity checking, iterative drafting. Basically an orchestration.ChainRun pipeline where each stage feeds into the next.
The novel ("The Year Unedited" — dystopian memory-editing premise) came out surprisingly coherent. Characters kept distinct voices across chapters, the plot threads mostly held together, and it didn't just wrap everything up neatly at the end. Not saying it's good literature, but it's a decent stress test for long-running agent orchestration.
I threw it on Amazon mostly as an experiment: https://a.co/d/037EOH88
The framework itself is the actual point of this post though. It does cost tracking, guardrails, middleware chains, streaming with Go 1.23+ iterators, background process management, graph workflows, eval framework, the works. Happy to dig into any of the architecture details.

Show HN: Token Count – multi-agent AI comedy podcast with Temporal and GraphRAG
https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pksKPgS2C6kpW8ahdMMaN
I built Token Count, a daily-ish AI comedy podcast where three recurring characters argue about other podcasts and internet culture. Latest ep (#10) is “Pretzels, Pigeons, and the Tall Whites” (47m): it starts with modern-male nonsense and pivots into Laos travel/medical chaos, Kill Tony clip discourse, pigeon-fighting masculinity, and “Tall Whites” UFO lore.The interesting part (for HN) is the...

You mean, “will teach you to make REST calls instead of letting a script do it for you”.
