So this a terrible use case and clearly fake interviewing dead people is plain silly.

That being said, I do have quite a drive to do everyday and I end up listening to the radio whenever I get bored of audio books. I would absolutely love a system that would mix up my favorite songs with AI hosts talking about recent news and subjects I specifically care about.

Genuine question, why not try different podcasts? There are a variety of subjects, and plenty that are current events/news related for niche communities. That doesn't mix music between episodes, but let's you find discussions on topics you're interested in.

I'm mostly looking for something that will comb news sites and tech blogs an hour before I get up and make me curated daily commentary.

I like podcasts but if I'm switching off audio books, it's mostly because I'm having trouble concentrating. Music with a news tidbit every 15 minutes isn't as taxing, specially on the drive back, but makes it a lot more interesting then just music alone.

Ah, fair! For me, the switching between music and oration would be a bigger distraction than one or the other on their own.
