The podcast feature needs enhanced timing controls for more realistic output.
Specifically, it should be able to handle overlapping speech and interruptions, which would be better than NotebookLM's capabilities!
Consider implementing either manual controls for precise user adjustments (perhaps a timeline-based editor, a per-line menu with options to generate interruptions or overlapping dialogue, or adjustable parameters to control the frequency and intensity of these effects).
An algorithm that analyzes the text and AUTOMATICALLY generates natural-sounding overlaps and interruptions. Manual or Automatic would significantly improve the quality and realism of the generated podcasts.
