Public podcast, private production app
The AI Bot Roast
The AI Bot Roast is the owner-operated production app behind a public satirical AI-news podcast hosted by Major General Bot Roaster.
Listen to the show on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. The production dashboard is private, has no public registration, and is available only to the authorised owner.
Purpose and functionality
From selected newsletters to a finished podcast
The app turns a short list of AI newsletters into an original audio briefing. The owner controls the source list, reviews the production dashboard, and manages publication.
Produce the episode
Write an original satirical script, generate the host voice, mix the finished audio, and create episode artwork.
Publish the show
Store the completed episode and publish it through the show's RSS feed for podcast platforms.
Google user data
A private Gmail connection for the production workflow
Only the authorised owner can connect a Google account. The app uses read-only Gmail access to find recent messages from three configured AI-newsletter senders and import those messages into the private production database.
- The app reads message content and metadata only from matching newsletter emails.
- It cannot send, edit, or delete messages in Gmail.
- Extracted story details are sent to OpenAI to draft scripts and artwork prompts.
- The finished script is sent to ElevenLabs to create the episode voice.
- Raw email messages are not published, sold, or used for advertising.
Facts and ideas from the selected newsletters may be reflected in the public podcast. At the start of each import run, message records older than 30 days are deleted from the production database. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
