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.

I could easily see listening to such a summary once or twice a day. Considering the pace at which HN is updated, how about two to four somewhat longer episodes per day, with an archive of the past week so that people can catch up? You might also want to focus on certain types of stories, such as those with more upvotes or comments.

In any case, it's a great idea, and I enjoyed listening to the current episode.
