We tried out an AI software that converts your PDF into an audiobook. The voice is completely synthetic and... surprisingly good.
The software in question comes from a company called Quares.
Check out this bonus episode of the pod to hear for yourself.

S10 Ep3: Cary Grant's Cult Classic from 1951

We discovered that the great Cary Grant was in a movie that shared its name with our podcast.
With that flimsy premise, we went on a voyage of discovery, encountering German theatre, McCarthyism, flops, LSD and a romantic comedy that still holds up today.
Oh, and one of us mentions that Grant was in Guns of Navarone. In fact, it was Gregory Peck!
