Do I need a microphone or recording equipment to use PoddyHost?
No, PoddyHost AI narrates your content using natural human voices, eliminating the need for any recording equipment, studio, or speaking on your part. You simply provide the topic, and the AI handles the rest.
Can I use my own voice for narration or upload my own audio?
Manual audio uploads are not currently available. However, Pro customers can use custom voice cloning to create a personalized AI narrator. All paid plans also unlock a full library of over 50 voices in many languages.
How does PoddyHost distribute my podcast to platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts?
PoddyHost generates a standards-compliant podcast RSS 2.0 feed and submits it to Podcast Index. For Spotify, a one-click submission link is provided. Indexing times vary, typically within 24-72 hours for many shows.
What is Auto Mode and how does it work?
Auto Mode is a hands-free publishing feature where PoddyHost automatically generates a topic, writes the script, narrates, and publishes one new episode per day for enabled podcasts. It's subject to your plan's monthly post limits.
Does PoddyHost create cover art for my podcast automatically?
Yes, when you create a new podcast, PoddyHost automatically generates a professional AI cover image tailored to your podcast title and topic. You can regenerate it or upload your own custom cover art at any time.
