Would you enjoy listening to a radio station that plays HN articles while you travel to work? I know I would! I want to listen to news that I find relevant as I commute. Unfortunately, HN, TechCrunch, and all the good nerd blogs are only available as text.

So I’m thinking of making a mobile app to deliver personalized news radio w/ content from blog and news sites.

I would use text-to-speech software when necessary, but TTS can only do so well. Most content would be pre-recorded by an actual human with a pleasant voice. (“Do something that doesn’t scale” -PG.)

So my question is: Does this sound interesting to you? If I built this, would you be excited to try it?
