I've been working on a locally-generated Personalised Podcast recently. I pick the presenters and RSS feeds, generate the conversation using an offline LLM, and produce a 2 minute morning news podcast. If anyone knows a way to turn this into an actual product, let me know.

I collected my various notes from playing my Corporate Comedy Monster homebrew RPG "Monster Coffee Break" into something that looks like a game adventure guide (but isn't):

Multiplayer snake game.
