Best AI Tools for Podcasters in 2025
The Podcast Production Stack
- Descript ($12-24/month): AI-powered audio/video editing where you edit audio by editing text — delete words from the transcript, the audio is deleted. Filler word removal, studio sound enhancement, green screen replacement
- Claude Pro ($20/month): Show notes, episode summaries, social media clips copy, guest research, email newsletter from episodes
- Riverside.fm ($15-29/month): High-quality remote recording with video, separate audio tracks per guest, AI clip maker
Content Repurposing Workflow
The highest ROI AI workflow for podcasters: paste your episode transcript into Claude and prompt “Create: 1) a LinkedIn post with a key insight from this episode, 2) 3 tweet-sized quotes, 3) a newsletter paragraph summarizing the episode, 4) 5 FAQ-style questions answered by this episode’s content.”
One recording session becomes content across 4+ channels with 30 minutes of AI-assisted repurposing vs. 3+ hours manually.
Guest Research (Perplexity Pro)
Before each interview: use Perplexity to research your guest comprehensively. Find their recent work, public positions, past interview angles, and industry context. Better guest research leads to better interviews — and guests notice when hosts have done their homework.
