Turn Your OpenClaw Briefing into a Podcast Feed for Apple Podcasts
One developer turned their OpenClaw morning briefing into a podcast feed they listen to on the drive to work. The core workflow: take the briefing output, run it through text-to-speech to generate an MP3, host that file somewhere accessible, then append the episode to a simple RSS XML feed. Subscribe to that feed in Apple Podcasts, and the latest briefing is waiting at 7:30 AM.
Key Details
- Source: Reddit user u/fermatf on r/openclaw.
- Components: TTS engine of choice (e.g., OpenAI TTS, Amazon Polly), storage for MP3s (local server, S3, etc.), RSS feed generator (hand-written XML or a static site generator).
- Additional use: The same pipeline works for Substack articles — paste the link, get an episode ready to listen later.
- MCP server: The author also packaged it as an MCP server so others can skip the build (bring your own OpenAI API key).
Practical Workflow
- Generate the briefing using OpenClaw (standard morning briefing prompt).
- Convert text to speech (e.g.,
curlto OpenAI TTS API). - Save resulting MP3 to a public URL (e.g.,
https://example.com/podcast/2025-04-03.mp3). - Update RSS XML (add
<item>with title, enclosure, pubDate). - Serve the XML at a fixed URL (e.g.,
https://example.com/feed.xml). - Subscribe in Apple Podcasts using that feed URL.
The author notes the setup is straightforward and open to answering questions in the Reddit comments.
