A developer suffering from insomnia decided to build bestairadio.com, a 24/7 online AI podcast radio station. The code was primarily written by Claude Code (with the developer making architectural decisions). It uses Kokoro for speech synthesis, DeepSeek V4 Flash (via OpenRouter) as the AI host, and a backend deployed on a Hetzner cloud server, keeping monthly operating costs between $30 and $50. Scheduling logic and dynamic content orchestration were debugged with Claude Code's assistance, and the project is continuously iterating.
