[ale] OT how do you turn a blog into a private podcast / mp3 / ogg

[Beddingfield, Allen]

The obvious problem with that is that listening to it read in a robotic text-to-speech converted voice is going to get old really quickly.

Subject: [ale] OT how do you turn a blog into a private podcast / mp3 / ogg

Hi all,

I want to keep up with the EFF via audio, but I don't think they publish
a podcast.  The next best thing would be to take each new paragraph in
their blog:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks

and turn it into an rss feed with the text turned into speech so that I
could retrieve it on my podcatcher.  Better yet, make each 10 or
(selectable number) of new paragraphs into one podcast.

Does anyone know how to do that?  If there is a public service that can
do this, that would be the best.  Then, I could just point my podcatcher
at the rss feed.  A possible alternative is to have my mint machine run
conversions periodically, but then I'd have to figure out how to get it
on to my Android tablet.

Any help is always appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ron
