AI Podcaster Builds Two Autonomous Shows, Compares Cost and Speed

Andreas Astrup, a developer and creator, has released two versions of a fully autonomous AI podcast. One relies on a 9-step workflow, while the other uses a single AI agent. Astrup walks through the architecture of both, explaining the five requirements that guided his decisions. The agentic version is 50 times more expensive to run but 10 times faster to build. The podcast, called "AI Mornings," is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
