How it works

Your AI does the reading. You do the listening.

Readcast sits between the assistant you already use and the podcast app already on your phone.

Inside ChatGPT and Claude

Say “send this to Readcast”, or schedule a morning brief. Your assistant does the research, and Readcast turns it into an episode. Or paste a link or text here.

Word for word, or two hosts

Narration keeps the author’s words and only tidies what a listener can’t hear, like links and citation marks. From a link, it also describes the page’s charts and photos. Ask for a conversation when you want one.

Your podcast app, privately

Episodes arrive in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and other apps, read by voices with your accent. Your feed is private, and nothing is published.

Questions

A few ahead of time.

Do I need ChatGPT or Claude?

No. Paste a link or some text on Readcast and you get the same episode in the same feed. The assistants just save you the copying, and can send you a brief on a schedule. Readcast for your reading list.

Does it rewrite what I send?

Narration reads your text word for word. It only tidies what a listener can’t hear, such as links, symbols and citation marks. When you send a link, it also describes the page’s charts and photos, and says so (“A photo here shows…”). Two-host episodes are a conversation about the text, and they are only made when you ask for one.

Does it work with Spotify?

Spotify can’t add private feeds. Use Apple Podcasts, which comes with every iPhone, Pocket Casts, Overcast or any app that adds a show by URL. You can also listen in your Readcast library.

What types of content work best?

Any well-structured text you have the right to turn into audio: your own drafts and notes, research, reports, scripts, and articles you can lawfully read. Reader-mode extraction helps clean up pages when a URL is available.

How long does it take to generate a podcast?

Most solo episodes are ready in 2–5 minutes. Multi-speaker episodes take a little longer because we outline, script, and perform them end-to-end.

Can I use this for commercial purposes?

Yes, for outputs generated from content you own, license, or are otherwise legally permitted to use commercially.

What happens when I hit the free limit?

Your existing episodes remain accessible. To create more, upgrade to Pro. No surprise charges — you're only billed after you choose to.

Hear what your AI found.

No card. Connect ChatGPT or Claude, or paste something you want to hear, and it arrives in your podcast app.
