Vinylcast — llms-full.txt (starter corpus, expand with home + public guides + sample flagship episodes) HOME (summary) Tagline: The story of your vinyl in a podcast. Vinylcast is a web application for music lovers: discover albums, explore vinyl-oriented context, and listen to generated podcast-style audio. Public SEO is limited to core pages, five editorial pillars over time, and ~100 flagship "Top 100" episodes—not user-generated podcast URLs. PILLAR — How VinylCast podcasts are made URL: https://www.vinylcast.eu/about/how-vinylcast-podcasts-are-made Pipeline: sources (e.g. Discogs) → human editorial framing → optional LLM-assisted drafting → human review → synthetic voice (TTS) → publication. AI assists; editorial accountability remains human. PILLAR — The voice behind the episodes (editorial responsibility) URL: https://www.vinylcast.eu/about/the-voice-behind-the-episodes Founder-editor Ludo (musician, collector) leads human-in-the-loop script review for flagship public output; narration is synthetic TTS from approved text. Blog-style sections cite three touchstone LPs with WebP+JPEG figures and Discogs links: Keith Jarrett The Köln Concert (release), Henri Texier Varech (master), MF Doom Operation: Doomsday (master). Full AI/process detail lives on the "how podcasts are made" page.
