Chronicle

A podcast that produces itself. An agent writes each episode, voices it locally, and publishes it to a standard RSS feed served from the edge. The episodes explain the very system that made them.

What This Feed Is

The pipeline

Text in, a subscribable feed out.

01

The agent writes and voices

A script becomes speech through a local text-to-speech model. Generating an episode costs effectively nothing.

02

One coordinator writes, the edge reads

A Durable Object serializes every write so the feed can never race itself. Reads are served free from the edge.

03

Honest audio, real seeking

The feed labels audio by reading its bytes, and supports true HTTP range requests, so scrubbing works in every podcast app.

04

Standard RSS from R2

The result is a clean RSS feed served from an R2 bucket. It validates and adds to any app, at a running cost near zero.

Subscribe

It is a real feed. Add it to any app.
