Podcast production & content tools

These tools make it easier to record high-quality audio and video, clean up your episodes, and turn each conversation into multiple pieces of content.

Podcast & video editing

Descript

Descript lets me edit podcast and video recordings directly inside the transcript, which makes editing much faster. AI tools easily remove filler words, improve audio with Studio Sound, and automatically create highlight clips from longer recordings.

Podcast hosting

Libsyn

Libsyn is a podcast hosting platform that distributes your episodes to listening apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I appreciate the detailed analytics and reporting, which give far more insight than most free podcast platforms.

Video recording & livestreams

StreamYard

StreamYard makes it easy to record professional video podcasts and interviews directly from your browser. What I like is how simple it is to add countdowns, intros, and outros, and it also allows you to livestream your recordings.

Short-form clips

Opus Pro

Opus Pro helps turn long podcast or video recordings into short clips that are ready for social media. What sets it apart is the customizable templates, easy editing tools, and the way it automatically adds captions and highlights strong moments from longer videos.

YouTube optimization

VidIQ

VidIQ is a YouTube optimization tool that helps improve titles, descriptions, and tags so videos are easier to find. I especially like the scoring system and title suggestions, and it also provides insights into keywords and competitor content.

Canva

Canva is a design platform that makes it easy to create everything from podcast graphics and social media posts to presentations and downloadable resources. I use it constantly because it makes designing professional-looking content simple and fast.

Trello is a simple project management tool that helps keep workflows organized and easy to track. I use it to manage podcast production for my clients by creating lists and checklists for every step of the production process.

Scheduling

TidyCal

TidyCal is the scheduling tool I used before I moved everything into GoHighLevel. It's a one-time payment instead of a monthly subscription, so it's a simple, budget-friendly way to share a booking link and manage your calendar.
