Featuring Tom Merritt and Bodie Grimm.

A note from Bodie:
I remixed my project so people can play around with it without affecting my original version: https://kilowatt-curator-clone.lovable.app
I also figured out how to let others Remix a project on Lovable.
- Sign up for a Lovable account and log in.
- Go to the following link: https://lovable.dev/projects/20673798-2b68-4188-96ff-37dcfa6a9f35.
- Click the Remix button at the top right. It will take you to the prompt/preview page to edit the the new "Remixed" site.
I also created a brief (video and audio) explainer if you want to add it to the end of the episode:

| 0:20.5 | Welcome, Bodie. Helloy hello tom thank you very much |
| 0:23.4 | for having me on thank you too uh we're going to talk about something you did that i think is |
| 0:28.3 | is pretty fascinating it's something i'd like to you know try my hand at as well uh it's basically |
| 0:33.8 | vibe coding but from someone who you know disrespect, but I don't think you |
| 0:39.5 | set yourself up as a prompt engineer or anything like that, right? |
| 0:43.3 | Not a prompt engineer, not a vibe coder, just somebody who's like, I'm a single podcaster |
| 0:50.1 | and anything I can do to automate my system or my process, there's only positives, most of the time, only |
| 0:57.3 | positives. Yeah, yeah. And I think this will be something because of where you're coming from that |
| 1:02.5 | people in the audience will be able to take a lot away from because it doesn't presuppose that |
| 1:08.6 | you've been doing this for a long time or you have specialized knowledge of AI or anything like that. But what we're talking about is a news source aggregator |
| 1:19.8 | now tailored for your needs, but something that just goes out onto the web, finds news and gathers |
| 1:24.8 | it for you. Am I explaining that properly? Yeah. So before, and I still |
| 1:31.1 | used my original system until I can get all the bugs worked out. Sure. But what usually |
| 1:35.8 | happens is I have news articles through RSS coming into a program called unread. And then from |
| 1:43.0 | unread, I triage the articles and then I will send that to raindrop.io. |
| 1:49.7 | And there, I'll decide, I'll triage it again, and I'll decide what goes in the show and what |

| 1:56.9 | And then that's the whole process. |
