I feel like it was inevitable, with the recent buzz around NotebookLM. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.

Wow... Really great.

Can you add some historical archive to listen n hours ago (or morning briefing like) summary as a feature?

Thanks! An archive shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Would a morning briefing include more of a curated selection of news, like the most interesting/most discussed news of the day? Currently I just take the top 5 posts from the main page.

Yeah. You're right.

My morning routine is Checking HN with Coffee. So with your service I can minimize some time to click around and figure out what the root cause is.

I was actually listening to it while making breakfast as well, so the idea of an extended morning briefing resonates with me. I'll look into it, thanks for the follow-up!

If you do this, it might be interesting to publish this as a podcast. Hourly is too frequent for a podcast, but daily would be pretty good.

(Podcasts are just RSS feeds.)

Podcast/RSS seems like ideal distribution tool?
