Clown Cast

Joey Musselman

Podcasts about whatever I find interesting — history, tech, weird rabbit holes. I was making these for myself anyway, so I figured I'd share. Fully AI-generated: Claude researches and writes each episode, and Piper voices it, one of them trained on my own voice. It all runs on a pipeline I built with Claude Code on an old laptop in my house. Enjoy.
