Podcast
Miles and Milly discuss your writing in a generated two-host episode you can listen back to.
Sometimes the most useful feedback is hearing two people talk about your book. The Podcast panel generates an episode in which its hosts, Miles and Milly, discuss either the chapter you are writing or your story world as a whole. It is audio you can put on while you walk — and hearing your own plot described back to you catches things a written note never does.
Podcast — the episode library and player
✦Quick start
- 1Open Podcast from the Review menu, or press Ctrl Shift P.
- 2Click New episode — the source opens on Chapter, with Story World as the other choice.
- 3For a chapter episode, confirm the chapter; it defaults to the one you are reading.
- 4Confirm the credit cost, then Generate — the episode builds in the background while you carry on writing.
- 5Play it from the library when it is ready.
Two Kinds of Episode
- Chapter — the hosts discuss one chapter of your manuscript
- Story World — they discuss the wider world: your cast, your places, and the shape of the continuity
- Every episode for the book sits in one library, newest first, with no separate tabs to hunt through
- Story World episodes carry their own world-map artwork, so the two kinds stay easy to tell apart at a glance
Listening & Housekeeping
- Play, pause, and resume from the panel, with an optional sound-wave display
- Retry an episode that failed, or delete one you no longer want
- Generating an episode uses AI Tokens; the cost is shown and confirmed before anything runs, and you can top up from the same prompt
- Finished audio is compressed on your own machine to the most portable format your device can both make and play — AAC/MP4 first, then Opus/WebM — and the original is only replaced when the result is genuinely smaller
- Clear episode audio you no longer need from Settings then Storage & data

A Story World episode is a surprisingly good test of whether your world hangs together. If the hosts struggle to say what a faction actually wants, that is a note about the faction, not about the episode.
