What it does

This workflow turns your newsletter into a real podcast episode on a fixed cadence. Once a week it reads the newest issue from a Dropbox folder, generates narration, hosts the audio file publicly on AWS S3, and updates a podcast RSS feed so Apple Podcasts and Spotify ingest the new episode without manual upload.

When to use it

Choose this when you want a genuine subscribable podcast feed driven by your newsletter, not just a loose MP3. Best for marketers who already drop finished issues into Dropbox and want a reliable weekly publish slot with proper episode metadata.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule fires at your chosen publish time.
  2. 2The most recent newsletter document is fetched from the Dropbox source folder.
  3. 3OpenAI converts it into a narration script and generates episode title, description, and chapter notes.
  4. 4ElevenLabs renders the audio to MP3.
  5. 5The MP3 is uploaded to a public S3 bucket and a permanent URL is captured.
  6. 6A new `<item>` with the audio URL, title, and show-notes is appended to the RSS feed and written back to S3.
