Podcast Automation?

Hi,

I run two podcasts (one started earlier this year and one started this month), and I'm looking for tips on how to semi-automate the process of creating the episodes. I used to edit the episodes myself, but now I'm outsourcing on Fiverr.

    Check out Alitu.com for automation around the editing part. (created by @thepodcasthost)
    There are a bunch of services who offer automatic transcriptions.

    I've created Podcastpage.io to automate the process of creating/managing a full podcast website.

      Awesome! Both look great, especially yours. I already have a podcast page on my website, but it would be good to try yours. Can I make my site on yours a subdomain of my own podcast?

        Thanks!

        Sure, you can use it for your podcast with a custom subdomain.
        Many of our users are using the platform to create a complete website, and some are using it for separate podcast page, here's a couple of examples -

        https://podcast.growthmarketer.co/
        https://pod.salesforfounders.com/

        (see how the the nav links take you back to the "parent" site)

    I use descript to automatically edit out filler words and create transcriptions: https://www.descript.com/

    Hey Jeremey!!

    I going to be honest with you, I don't think Spread will solve what you're looking for here, but I know it could definitely help you - especially if your looking for podcast/content automation tools.

    I'm curious, are there specific parts of the process you're looking to automate?

      I'm not really sure at this point. It would be good to find ways to shortcut the process. Getting audio edited by someone else is already a great help, but I know there must be easier ways to do it.

        I was going to ask the same thing 😁

        What elements take you the most time, from top to bottom, right now?

    How much does that cost you Jeremy?

      I think it's between $20 and $40 per episode, depending on the length, but you can find many different price ranges. I've only gotten one episode done that way so far, but I'm sending another one soon.
