Convert RSS Feeds into a Podcast with Google Gemini, Kokoro TTS, and FFmpeg

This workflow is for anyone who wants a daily, personalized audio summary of sports news. It is especially useful for people who want to listen to their news updates, like during a commute. This workflow automatically creates a daily sports news podcast. It pulls news from RSS feeds, uses AI to summarize the news into a text digest, and then turns the digest into a two-person conversational podcast script. Finally, it generates audio for the script using text-to-speech, merges the audio, and sends the podcast to Telegram. Set up the "Daily Trigger" node to your desired time. In the "Fetch RSS" nodes, change the URLs to your preferred news sources. Adjust the AI prompts in "Generate Text Digest" and "Generate Podcast Script" nodes to change the content's tone or style. In the "Generate Audio" nodes, update the API key for Kokoro TTS and choose different voices. Finally, configure the "Send Podcast to Telegram" node with your Telegram chat ID. You need an n8n instance to run this workflow. You also need an API key for Google Gemini and Kokoro TTS. Make sure FFmpeg is installed on the server where n8n runs. You can change article sources, AI prompts, text-to-speech voices, and the final delivery method (e.g., send to Discord, save to Google Drive).
