What’s the hardest part of making a video podcast?

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Parsons, founder of PodcastorAI.

Making a video podcast is still painfully slow. Even when your content is ready, you may need a camera, lighting, a cohost’s schedule, captions, visuals, and hours of editing. One hour of finished content can easily take around five hours to produce.

That’s why we built PodcastorAI.

Bring an idea, link, PDF, recorded podcast, or even NotebookLM audio, and turn it into a solo or two-host video episode with digital-twin avatars. Choose an AI voice or clone your own, while PodcastorAI handles the pacing, host handoffs, captions, visuals, and video formats.

We’re launching tomorrow as part of Build with OpenAI 🎉 GPT-5.6 helped us prototype, test, and iterate much faster.

Before we go live, I’d love to ask:

What’s the biggest thing stopping you from creating video podcasts?

• I don’t want to appear on camera

• I don’t have the time or equipment to record

• Coordinating with a cohost is difficult

• Editing and repurposing take too long

• Something else?

I’d love to hear about your experience.
