Using AI for Podcasting: From Recording to Editing and Content Repurposing

The most time-consuming part of creating a podcast is post-production and promotion. This article teaches you how to use AI to accelerate the entire production process.

The Pain of Podcasting: The Real Work Begins After Recording

Recording is just the first step; removing noise, editing, writing summaries, and creating promotional materials are the most time-consuming tasks. AI can accelerate these processes.

1. Recording

Remote recording uses Riverside, which can record multi-track high-quality audio and has AI assistance.

2. Post-Production Cleanup

Removing noise, eliminating filler words, and enhancing vocals use Adobe Podcast, Cleanvoice, and Auphonic.

3. Editing

Using Descript allows editing audio like a document (deleting text deletes the corresponding audio), greatly accelerating rough editing.

4. Content Repurposing (Highest CP Value)

Using Castmagic and Wondercraft can automatically turn a podcast episode into a transcript, summary, social media posts, newsletters, and titles, completing promotional materials in one go.

5. Music and Voiceovers

Using AI music tools for intro music and AI voiceovers when narration is needed, see Using AI for Voiceovers.

Reminder for Taiwanese Podcasters

Chinese transcription requires proofreading proper nouns, but AI can already save more than half of the time. Use the saved time to focus on content and audience engagement, which is more valuable.

Conclusion

AI won't help you come up with good content, but it can automate the annoying post-production and promotional tasks. Introducing AI into post-production and repurposing will have the most impact. Extended reading: Using AI to Create Music.
