podcast_llm.gui

Graphical user interface module for podcast generation.

This module provides a web-based GUI using Gradio for generating podcasts. It allows users to interactively specify podcast generation parameters including:

  • Topic selection

  • Operation mode (research or context-based)

  • Source materials (files and URLs) for context mode

  • Number of Q&A rounds

  • Checkpointing preferences

  • Custom configuration

  • Output paths for text and audio

The GUI provides a user-friendly way to access the podcast generation functionality without needing to use the command line interface.

The module handles form submission, input validation, logging setup, and coordinates with the core generation functionality. It uses temporary files for logging and provides real-time feedback during the generation process.
