RetroCast takes today's headlines and rebroadcasts them in 8 vintage styles from 4 countries. 1970s American network TV, 1960s Brazilian radio, 1980s BBC, 1990s Indian Doordarshan, and more. Firecrawl powers the entire news pipeline: searching headlines across 6 categories, filtering by country, and cross-checking every story against fact-checking sources before a word is spoken. During live calls, 4 Firecrawl webhook tools (search, fact-check, scrape, extract) let the anchor research and verify claims in real time. ElevenLabs generates every broadcast. Text-to-Dialogue gives TV formats two anchors trading stories, while radio formats get a solo narrator. 16 unique voices across 3 languages. ElevenAgents powers a live dial-in where you can call the anchor, ask questions, and get answers backed by real-time Firecrawl lookups.
