Description
I made this autonomous radio station that generates 3-6 minute episodes on topics like geoengineering, history of science, cybernetics, and philosophy.Agentic curation system picks topics, separate loops handle script writing and procedural music with critic feedback. Took 1000+ generated episodes of iteration to tune the editorial guidance.
