Create Podcasts With AI, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide 2025

Creating a podcast can often feel like navigating a maze of technology and tools. From drafting your script to figuring out how to distribute your final product, every step can seem daunting. But what if you could simplify this entire process with a single solution?

The Podcast Production Problem

Late-night podcast creation often feels like a complex obstacle course. You start with Google's Notebook LM to draft your script, move to 11 Labs for voice generation, fine-tune timing in Audacity, hunt for background music, and finally navigate RSS feeds for distribution. While this fragmented approach works, it's inefficient—like "duct taping five stoves together just to fry one egg."

What Podcastle Offers

Enter Podcastle—a comprehensive production solution designed for creators who already have their scripts prepared. Although it doesn't write your content, relying on tools like ChatGPT, Google Docs, or even your own handwritten notes, Podcastle excels at transforming those words into a polished, distributable podcast.

The Old Way: Tool Juggling

The traditional podcast creation process demands that you juggle multiple platforms:

1. Script Creation: This often starts with ChatGPT or similar tools, which may require multiple revisions.
2. Voice Generation: Next, you shift to Notebook LM or 11 Labs for the audio creation.
3. Audio Editing: You then open Audacity to adjust timing and elevate audio quality.
4. Music Addition: The search for suitable background tracks can consume a significant amount of time.
5. Distribution: Finally, you must separately handle hosting and RSS feeds.

This bottleneck creates constant friction—copying between tabs, downloading and uploading files, and navigating different interfaces can sap your creative energy.
