Create studio-quality video podcasts from scripts, links, PDFs, or ideas — with AI hosts, natural voices, and your digital twin. Podcastor handles production and puts you on screen, turning hours of recording and editing into a finished video podcast in around 15 minutes. Create solo or two-host episodes and get a publish-ready video without cameras or a production team. Already have an audio episode? Upload it and transform it into a video podcast with your voice and AI avatar.

I can't believe (or maybe I can?) how much work it takes to produce a video podcast... (trust me, I'm trying!).
Honestly, I think @jackbogdan and I are ready to outsource our visages to AI and just focus on the banter and chitchat.
I'm ready to give @PodcastorAI a try for our next episode!
PodcastorAI
@jackbogdan @chrismessina This means a lot coming from you, Chris 🙏 And yes — 'keep the banter, outsource the visages' is exactly the point. Whenever you and Jack are ready, send a photo each and we'll build your twins so your next episode is basically just the two of you talking, minus the camera setup. Would love to see how it turns out.
PodcastorAI
@jackbogdan @chrismessina Thank you so much for hunting us, Chris! 🙌 Since you’re experiencing the video podcast workflow firsthand, your feedback will be especially valuable to us. We can’t wait to see what you and Jack create with PodcastorAI—please send any questions or honest feedback our way as you try it!

@tehreem_fatima5 Thank you so much, Tehreem! 🙏 This means a lot.
Damn, nice one. Congrats on the launch. “NotebookLM can write a podcast; Podcastor puts you on screen” is a very clear way to explain it. The digital twin side is interesting, but I’d want to know how much control you have over the final performance. Can you adjust pacing, tone, pauses and host reactions after generation, or do you mostly accept what comes back? That feels important for educators and experts in particular. A technically polished avatar is useful, but only if it still sounds like the person behind the content.
PodcastorAI
@os_ishmael Thanks, and that’s a great point. If you use Podcastor’s TTS, you can precisely adjust pacing and add pauses to shape the delivery. For uploaded NotebookLM audio, we can extract the script so you can revise the spoken content rather than simply accepting the original output.
Fine-grained control over host reactions isn’t available yet, although the current lip-sync is already very strong. We’re now developing digital twins based on real recorded video, along with a new model that drives emotions and body language from the tone and context of the content. This is especially important for educators and experts, where preserving the creator’s authentic delivery matters as much as visual polish.
the two-host episode format is the part I'm curious about. with one AI host it's just pacing/lip-sync against your own audio, but with two, is there actual back-and-forth timing between them, interruptions, reacting to what the other one just said, or is each host's track generated separately and then interleaved so it reads more like alternating monologues than a real conversation?
PodcastorAI
@galdayan Right now, the two hosts speak in turns, so there aren’t overlapping lines or natural interruptions yet. The conversation is structured as a real back-and-forth across formats like Deep Dive, Debate, and Storytelling, rather than simply stitching together two unrelated monologues. We’re already developing overlapping speech, which should make reactions and conversational timing feel much more natural, and we expect to support it soon.
The digital twin angle solves the camera problem, but the workflow after the episode seems just as interesting for creators. When someone turns one podcast into YouTube, clips, and social posts, how do you preserve the speaker's intent while adapting the edit and framing for each format? That is where a fast production shortcut either creates leverage or just creates more review work.
PodcastorAI
@wesc That’s exactly the balance we’re thinking about. Repurposing should create leverage, not add another layer of review work. We’re currently developing AI clipping so creators can turn a full episode into platform-ready short-form content while preserving the speaker’s original context and intent. It’s not available yet, but we’re working to bring it to Podcastor soon.
30 minutes for a single video is genuinely surprising — that alone covers most real episodes. One thing I'm curious about, though: most video-generation models I've used are pretty careful about how they handle a real person's likeness as reference. Where does Podcastor draw that line? Concretely — could I upload a photo of Elon or Tim Cook and bring them on as an "AI guest" on my show, or is likeness locked to the account owner / consented identities only? For a product built on digital twins, that consent boundary feels like it matters as much as the tech itself.
PodcastorAI
@kryptonite_wei You’re absolutely right that the consent boundary matters as much as the technology. Podcastor requires the person’s explicit consent before their likeness can be used to create a digital twin. So no, you couldn’t simply upload a photo of Elon Musk or Tim Cook and add them as an “AI guest.” We also use celebrity detection to help prevent unauthorized use of public figures and protect everyone’s likeness rights.

An MCP integration would be really useful for sending a transcript from another tool directly into PodcastorAI.
PodcastorAI
@rhinogo You're reading our minds 👀 We've actually been building an MCP server for exactly this — pipe a transcript straight from your tool of choice into Podcastor, no copy-paste tango. Consider your idea officially on the roadmap (and mostly already there 😏)
PodcastorAI
@rhinogo Great suggestion! This is exactly the kind of seamless workflow we want to build—moving content from the tools you already use directly into PodcastorAI. Which tools would you most like us to support first?
@chrismessina - This looks awesome, great job. However, I'd getting tired of one more subscription service, do you have plans for a pay-as-you-go model? A model that allowed you to purchase credits instead, that never expires?. I feel offering this model would potentially increase the up take, as many users are hesitant to commit to another monthly/annual subscription. I
PodcastorAI
@codeandsea Thanks Brent — and it's a totally fair ask 🙏 Subscription fatigue is real, and 'buy credits that don't expire' is something we've been actively debating internally. No firm date yet, but you're not the only one asking, so it's very much on our radar. In the meantime it's free to try, really appreciate you taking the time to think it through with us.
@tineee9 - Thanks for getting back to me. This is great news I genuinely feel this will provide a more appealing solution for users. I've been thinking about creating a 'build in public' type podcast in the future to document my journey. I've bookmarked your tool, as if I do go ahead I will definitely consider using PodcasterAI. Best of luck with the launch and future development.
PodcastorAI
@codeandsea a 'build in public' podcast is exactly what we made Podcastor for — you document the journey, your digital twin handles the on-camera part so it never becomes the thing you keep putting off. Best of luck, Brent, and thanks for the thoughtful back-and-forth 🙏"
