Welcome!

This site is dedicated to making scientific research more accessible. I use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze papers and produce entertaining podcast transcripts. The best transcripts are read by a different AI and published to a podcast feed. Search for "Paper-to-Podcast" in your favorite podcast app.

This process is almost entirely automated. There is nobody checking the machines' work. If you find a paper that interests you, I encourage you to read the paper in full. Please note that some papers (e.g., arXiv) are not yet peer reviewed. Citation counts are provided by Crossref.

I hope this site helps you stay current on the latest research and explore topics outside your areas of expertise.
