The podcast workflow automation is officially done! In this episode I walk through what the new process looks like end-to-end, how Claude Code was used to build a custom Node.js command line tool, and what APIs actually are and why they matter for making it all connect. This is a practical (and yes, somewhat techy) look at agentic AI doing exactly what it's supposed to do: handling the repetitive stuff so the creative work stays yours.
