Podcasting can be a lot — planning, recording, editing, and producing all eat up hours. But AI tools like Microsoft Copilot (and others we’ll spotlight below) are changing the game.
Here’s how to actually use them:
Start with Microsoft Copilot:
Think of Copilot as a co-producer in your corner. Feed it a prompt like:
"Create a podcast episode about AI trends in 2025" …and it can generate a full episode in minutes.
You can interact as it plays, tweak content, adjust flow, or add your own commentary. It’s perfect for: Scripting ideas, ideation or even producing a full first draft. Here’s a step-by- step breakdown.
There’s also Descript as a powerful alternative:
If you want more control over editing and production, Descript is a must-have. You can:
Transcribe recordings with OpenAI’s Whisper
Clean up audio with Studio Sound
Remove filler words, silence, and noise
Correct or regenerate your voice with Overdub
Edit your recording like a text document
Make clips to promote your show on social media
Keep only the best takes when recording multiple versions
Arrange multi-camera video podcasts so the talking person is on camera.
Basically, you can polish your podcast without hiring a full editing team.
Other Handy Tools Includes:
Suno — generates custom background music, intros, and outros.
Auphonic— offers audio leveling, silence trimming, and noise reduction.
NotebookLM— summarizes research-heavy material into conversational scripts
Otter.ai / Cleanvoice AI— offers Live transcription or quick cleanup of filler words and background noise.
💡 Pro Tip: The ultimate workflow is having a single tool that can do it all—editing, transcription, sound cleanup, and music— so you’re not juggling multiple subscriptions
But if you’re a creator who wants maximum polish, using a combo of specialized tools can work wonders.
