Boecast

Boecast takes one of Spain's densest official publications — the Boletín Oficial del Estado — and turns it into a short spoken briefing. Using AI summarization and text-to-speech, the team behind Boecast produces episodes that cover the appointments, tenders, regulations, subsidies and opposition-exam announcements published that day, all narrated in around five minutes.

Episodes are distributed free through Spotify and YouTube, while the website at boecast.es acts as the hub: it lists recent episodes with dates and headlines and links straight to the audio. Recent episode topics illustrate the range, from official mourning periods to Social Security automation deadlines, local police recruitment and tax changes in the Canary Islands.

Boecast is funded by its audience through Patreon. Supporter tiers range from roughly 5 EUR to 70 EUR per month and add patron-only posts, early episode access, participation in polls, a weekly exclusive round-up and, at the highest tier, personalized daily briefings tailored to a listener's interests. The project is a product of Carlos Vivar Ríos and Marta Josa Bordell.

Because every episode is automatically generated, the site states plainly that content should always be validated against the original BOE before being acted on.
