The Daily FM is a service that generates daily audio podcasts from user-selected sources. It addresses the need for busy people to stay informed through spoken summaries rather than reading text. The tool converts content from websites, X accounts, Hacker News, podcasts, and state legislatures into short audio briefings delivered as standard podcasts.

Users can subscribe to ready-made podcasts from a library without an account, combine multiple podcasts into one custom feed, or build fully personalized summary pods by adding their own sources. Sources include any article, blog or newsletter link, the latest posts from chosen X handles, top Hacker News stories with comment threads, fresh-episode recaps of any podcast, and weekly bill activity from state legislatures. Featured ready-made podcasts cover topics such as AI and include summaries drawn from blogs, news, and accounts like those of Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind, Simon Willison, Karpathy, and others.

Content is delivered through RSS feeds that work with any podcast application. Supported apps for listening include Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and YouTube Music. Episodes can also be combined across podcasts for a single unified feed. The service focuses on short summary pods built from the sources individuals already follow.
