Podcast Generator

NotebookLM Orchestrator

This repository is equipped with the NotebookLM Orchestrator, which automates the creation of podcast audio overviews.

Usage

Agents can run the orchestrator either interactively or via its MCP server capabilities.

Interactive CLI Usage

To generate a podcast via the terminal:

1. Initialize the environment: source venv/bin/activate
2. Run python podcast_cli.py to launch the interactive prompt.
3. Choose either "🪄 Generate a new Podcast Plan from a Topic" or "🚀 Execute an existing Plan (JSON)".
4. Follow the interactive prompts to construct the podcast.
5. Audio will automatically download to podcast_audio/. Run python podcast_cli.py -c to check on background tasks.

MCP Server Usage

To empower an agent to autonomously generate podcasts, point the MCP client at the mcp_server.py file.

1. Ensure python podcast_cli.py has been run at least once to authenticate the Chrome profile.
2. Provide the agent with the mcp_server.py MCP tools (generate_podcast_plan, execute_podcast_plan).
