Edit podcast episodes with AI-assisted tools, distribute to podcast platforms, and automatically create and schedule promotional content across social media.

Workflow Steps

1

Descript

Edit and Create Clips

Import your raw podcast recording into Descript and use its AI-powered features to remove filler words, silences, and background noise. Use the text-based editing interface to cut and rearrange segments by editing the transcript. Generate short audiogram clips and video snippets from the most engaging moments for social media promotion.

2

ChatGPT

Generate Show Notes

Feed the Descript transcript into ChatGPT with a prompt that generates comprehensive show notes including an episode summary, timestamped topic markers, guest bios, mentioned resources with links, and pull quotes suitable for social media. This saves significant manual writing time and ensures show notes are thorough and consistent across episodes.

3

Spotify

Distribute Episode

Upload the polished episode to Spotify for Podcasters, which distributes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms. Add episode metadata including title, description with the AI-generated show notes, chapter markers, and timestamps. Configure episode-specific settings like explicit content flags and episode type.

4

Buffer

Promote Across Social

Upload the Descript-generated audiogram clips and quote graphics to Buffer. Schedule a promotion sequence that includes a launch day announcement, a mid-week engagement post with a compelling quote, and a weekend reminder. Customize captions for each platform and include direct links to the episode on Spotify.
