What is an AI Podcast?

Podcasts are transforming the way people consume content.

And it seems like everybody has a podcast, or at least, wants to start one. But in order to create a podcast worth listening to, you need to invest tens, if not hundreds, of hours of recording, producing, and editing your new show.

But an AI podcast completely changes everything.

What is an AI Generated Podcast?

An AI podcast is exactly what it sounds like – it's a podcast between virtual AI hosts who can talk about any topic imaginable.

But unlike the AI voices you're used to when calling your "favorite" customer support center, these hosts aren't monotone robots reading Wikipedia. They're sophisticated, realistic, and engaging—so human that listeners can't tell the difference.

Just like real people talking about complex subjects, these AI podcasters pause and think, have stutters and use filler words, cutting each other off, just like your favorite podcaster does.

But the benefit of an AI podcast is it's scalability. Creating an AI podcast versus hiring a production team allows small businesses to produce content at a scale that was previously unimaginable. It unlocks a huge new opportunity to create content in niche domains that would never have been produced traditionally.

How Podcasts are Normally Created

Let's walk through the steps of how a podcast is traditionally produced.

You spend a few hours researching your topic, diving through articles, and taking notes. Then you book a recording studio and find a guest who's knowledgeable on that topic.

Recording takes an hour or two, but you're not done yet. Multiple hours of editing, writing show notes, distributing to Spotify, etc. add up until you're at 6-7 hours for a single episode.

Now, imagine if you can just design the perfect hosts and start podcasting right from your bedroom? They might not be well-known experts, but oftentimes that's okay. By providing the hosts with some source material from PDFs or websites, you can have a professional podcast that's ready to publish in under 30 minutes.

Why Jellypod Wins

Yes, we're biased. But honestly, we think Jellypod is the best place to create an AI podcast.

Sure there's other tools out there like NotebookLM or Wondercraft, but neither feel like they were truly built as an all-in-one podcast studio. NotebookLM feels like a tool for students who want to just digest content more conveniently, while Wondercraft gives you a bunch of other features that aren't podcast-specific. You could create a podcast with either platform, but you're making huge trade-offs around customizability, distribution, and ease-of-use.

We built Jellypod with the core focus to be the best place to create podcast content. If you're serious about podcasting–if you want to build an audience, establish authority, and turn content into revenue, you need Jellypod.

Our Approach to Human/AI collaboration

We're not fully automated. We're AI-accelerated.

We want you to stay in the driver's seat, using AI to do the heavy lifting, while maintaining your ability to review and edit everything along the way.

Whether you use a voice clone or select from our voice library, Jellypod makes it easy to content in dozens of languages and become a thriving podcast overnight without dropping a dollar on a separate podcast-hosting service (yes, we have built-in Spotify, Apple, and Youtube distribution).

Types of Podcasts You Can Create

When you bring down the cost of creation, the opportunities to produce content skyrocket. Things that weren't previously feasible because of small, niche audiences now become a reality.

Here's a few ideas gathered from real users on Jellypod to help you get your AI podcast journey started:

Research & Education

AI podcasts are a great place for researchers, professors, and lecturers who need to explain a complex topic or curriculum to a broader audience. By grounding the episode in source material, papers, or other context, its easy to dive deep into a niche subject and produce a podcast that's engaging, informational, and makes learning fun.

Brand & Community Building

Automating content creation with AI allows both enterprises and small businesses to target existing clients and potential customers with industry news, company updates, and relevant topics.

With extensive customization, hosts can be grounded in your brand's voice, or more literally, a voice clone of your CEO or marketing director. And as the world gets more connected globally, it's critical to produce content in more than just English. With over two dozen different languages supported, Jellypod allows your content to extend beyond borders.

Professional Services

From real estate agents and doctors to CPAs and lawyers, podcasts are great ways to communicate bite-sized information in important fields.

However, professionals in these demanding jobs often don't have the time or energy to consistently record a podcast. AI podcasts provide an easier and more affordable way to amplify your voice and grow your audience.

The Bottom Line

The audio revolution is happening right before our eyes.

And if it's not you, somebody else is using AI to create their new podcast. Their audience is growing. Their authority is building. And they're doing it all without touching a microphone.

People want you to believe you need years of experience, thousands in equipment, and a production team to create something worth listening to. But that's just not true anymore.

AI podcasting isn't about replacing human creativity—it's about amplifying it. It's about taking your expertise, your unique perspective, and scaling it beyond what was ever possible before. It's about being able to create that daily industry news show, that educational series, or that brand podcast you've been planning for years but never had the bandwidth to execute on.

Every excuse for not starting a podcast just disappeared.

Too expensive? Jellypod costs less than your streaming subscriptions.

Too time-consuming? Create a month of content in an afternoon.

Too technical? If you can write an email, you can create an AI podcast.

The question isn't whether AI podcasts are the future—they're the present. The question is whether you'll be one of the creators building an audience with this technology, or one of the people still wondering if it's "authentic enough" while your competition dominates your niche.

Your audience is waiting. What are you waiting for?
