The show documents itself in audio. These are the parts that work better in print — the pipeline, the prompts, and the record of what it takes to publish an episode nobody listened to first.
My Weird Prompts: How It Works
The Nuts and Bolts of Running an AI-Generated Podcast (At Scale)
The pipeline, the prompts, and the parts that are quietly broken.
A podcast that writes itself, documented by the person who has to keep it running. Someone sends a question; about twenty-seven minutes of finished audio comes back. Nobody hears an episode before it goes out. There is no review step and no approval queue.
This is the production documentation for that system as it ran on 10 August 2026 — the ingestion path, the five-node generation graph, model routing, voice cloning on GPU workers, the memory layer, audio assembly and publication. Then it prints the prompts themselves, in full, annotated line by line.
Most writing about agentic content pipelines describes the happy path. This one describes day two hundred: an advertisement mechanism running on its emergency fallback for months, a version column that identifies almost nothing, an interface built to replace an older one and never connected to anything. None of them stopped the show going out. That is the uncomfortable part.
Contents
- Part One — The Show What it is, who is in it, and one episode traced end to end.
- Part Two — The Machine Ingestion, the dispatcher, the graph, grounding, script generation, voice, assembly, memory and data.
- Part Three — The Prompts The episode-generation prompt in full, how it is assembled from nineteen ordered layers at request time, and the regressions that shaped it.
- Part Four — Running It What it costs, what breaks, which vendors it rests on, and what would be built differently.

The My Weird Prompts Episode Index
A Companion To The AI Podcast
Every episode, in order, with a number that takes you straight to it.
Every episode of a podcast that publishes every day, in one place you can hold. At 4,620 episodes — about 2,107 hours, or 88 days of continuous audio — the show has a problem no amount of search solves: you cannot want an episode you do not know exists.
This is the index. Every episode, in publication order, grouped by month, each with its number, its permanent six-digit code, its runtime, its publication date, its category, and one line telling you what it is actually about.
It is not a highlights collection and it is not curated. There is no "best of" here and no editorial. Completeness is the entire proposition: if an episode exists, it is in this book, including the ones nobody should listen to.
Find something, then type six digits. Every entry carries a short code — a permanent identifier that is never reassigned, even if episodes are withdrawn and the numbering shifts around it. Put it after the site address and it opens the episode directly: myweirdprompts.com/708787. The six digits are the whole interface.
Contents
- The index All 4,620 episodes in publication order, grouped by month, with number, short code, runtime, date, category and a one-line description.
- By title Every episode alphabetically.
- By category 31 categories and subcategories, from geopolitics to home hardware to the internals of language models.
- By tag 281 tags — every tag applied to five or more episodes. The 2,159 used once or twice are omitted, and the book says so rather than quietly padding itself.
- By cast The recurring guests. Corn and Herman host nearly everything and are not indexed; listing them would be listing the book twice.

Why print
The two are designed to sit next to each other: one explains the machine, the other catalogues what the machine produced. Both carry the date they were true — the Blueprint dates every figure it verified against the running system, and the Index puts its cutoff on the cover. The show publishes daily, so the Index was out of date the morning it went to press. That is the point of a snapshot: unlike a living document, it cannot quietly correct itself later.
