I just generated a human sounding two-way podcast with NotebookLMs audio overview feature.
Gave it one of my latest blog posts and it's actually incredible concept.
I reckon this will make it easier to study whitepapers too because the podcasters are funny and engaging.

I created a super simple Reddit question search tool. It builds a Google search query based on the subreddit you choose, the question pattern, and an extra keyword.
Great for finding threads relevant to topics you're interested in.
