Grounded, and checked
Figures and names in each line are matched against the passage it cites. With a Claude key, Claude also reviews every claim. These checks catch a lot, not everything, so you read it before you publish.
Podcasts from your own material
Turn what you already know into a podcast, without making things up.
Give PodGen an article, a PDF, a link or your notes. It drafts a script where every line points to the passage it came from, you edit it, and then it records the episode and publishes a real podcast feed.
Early access: accounts are created by invitation while we finish the details. Join the list below.

Any number that does not appear in the cited passage is flagged as an error, and recording is blocked until the author fixes the line or chooses to keep it.

Source, passage 1 (excerpt)
… Before anything is recorded, PodGen checks each line against the passages it cites. Any number that does not appear in the cited passage is flagged as an error, and recording is blocked until the author fixes the line or chooses to keep it. Names that do not appear in the source are flagged as warnings.
What a made-up statistic looks like
“A survey of 9000 beekeepers found 91 percent loved it.”
Check the figure. 9000, 91 do not appear in the cited passage.
Hear it. Then read where every line came from.
Two complete episodes made with PodGen from the short sources shown beside them. Press play and the source passage for each line lights up.
Loading the samples…
These were recorded with the free built-in system voices, so they sound plainer than hosted voices will. The scripts were written for this page and checked by PodGen's own verifier. Everything in them is true of PodGen, and they say they are AI because every PodGen episode does.
How it works
- 1
Add a source
Paste text, give a web address, or upload a text file, HTML or text PDF. It is split into numbered passages.
- 2
Edit the script
Each line shows the passages it cites. Claims PodGen cannot match to your source are flagged on the line, and recording waits until you deal with them.
- 3
Record what changed
You see the price first. Lines you have not touched since the last recording are reused, so a small edit is cheap and quick.
- 4
Publish a feed
Episodes get chapters, a transcript and cover art in a standard RSS feed. Submit the address once to Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
What we do differently, and what we leave out
You edit before you pay
The script is yours to change line by line. Nothing is recorded until you press the button, and the cost is shown first.
Honest about AI
Every episode says in the audio, and in the feed description, that it was drafted with AI and voiced synthetically. You can turn off the spoken line; the feed notice stays.
No tricks
No countdown timers, no invented “only 50 left”, no “unlimited for life” promises, and no testimonials, because we do not have any yet.
Pricing: pay for audio you record
One credit is one minute of newly recorded audio. A two-minute episode is about two credits. Change one line afterwards and re-record, and it costs about one credit, because the other lines are reused.
Accounts will start with free credits (30 at the moment) when sign-ups open. The studio shows the exact cost before every recording and returns the credits if a recording fails.
Sign-ups and paid credit packs are not open yet. Leave your email and we will write once, when they are, with the price in the message.
Questions
Can it still get things wrong?
Yes. The checks flag numbers and names that are not in your source, and Claude can review each claim, but wording can still stretch what a source says. Read the script before you publish; you are the editor.
What does it do with my source?
The text is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to write the script, and script text is sent to the voice provider to record it. It is not used for advertising. Details are in the privacy page.
Can I use my own voice?
No. PodGen does not clone voices. You choose from the provider's synthetic voices and can preview each one first.
Will Apple Podcasts and Spotify accept AI episodes?
Directories set their own rules on AI-generated content and change them. PodGen labels every episode clearly. Read each directory's current policy before you submit.
Can I use material I did not write?
Only if you have the right to turn it into audio. PodGen cannot judge that for you. See the terms.
