alt Hacker NewsI'd like to have audio overviews of scientific papers, so I can "read" them while I drive. NotebookLM/Gemini Notebook sorta does this, but the two-person podcast format is kind of annoying and it can't pronounce math.
Is there something out there that will do this? I'm sure the right harness around frontier models would make it work.

Paper2Audio is great - and if you're looking to have more editorial control over the outputs, check out Jellypod. You can choose your hosts, publish it to a website/RSS feed, edit scripts, etc.

How would the right format for you look like? Specially be monologue?
Readwise does this pretty well.
Google Illuminate does this. I believe it was actually a precursor to Gemini Notebook. It uses a similar podcast generating model but tuned to keep things more technical and detailed.
