Show HN: I built a pipeline that generates a comedy podcast end-to-end with AI

The pipeline takes a trending topic and produces a fully rendered ~22 min comedy podcast episode with three AI characters (PRODUCER, CRITIC, DUMBASS). Everything is automated: premise ideation, research, outline generation, script writing with a writers' room (punch-up passes, verification gates), voice synthesis via ElevenLabs, music bed mixing, and publishing to Spotify.
