An episode is two hours of talking and one file you can’t lose.
Book the guest, send one link, press Record. What comes out is a separate 1080p master per person, an audio mixdown for the feed, the video version for YouTube, and the clips.
Free during the beta. Nothing to install, on your machine or your guest’s.
A finished episode take: the composed program file plus one downloadable MP4 per participant.
From booking to published, one episode
This is the whole loop. Nothing here needs a producer in a second tab.

Book it
Create a Record session and schedule it. Choosing Record removes the live surface entirely. There are no stream keys in the room, so an episode cannot go out by accident while you’re warming up.
- 2
Send the link
One guest link, reusable or regenerated. They open it in a browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create, which is the difference between a booked guest and a guest who shows up.

Green room, then hello
They land in a green room first: camera, microphone and speaker pickers with a live preview, before anyone sees or hears them. You settle the headphone question there instead of on the recording.

Press Record, and press it again
Recording is explicit, always. Every press starts a new take, so a fluffed cold open is a re-do, not a repair job. Fix the intro three times and keep all three.

Talk for two hours
While you do, each person’s own camera and mic are being captured locally at full quality and uploaded in the background. You can see everyone’s state the whole time: recording, uploading, safe.

End the take, take the files
The take resolves into plain MP4s: the composed program, plus one master per participant. Then the post pass: transcript, cuts, show notes, clips.
The guest with the bad wifi doesn’t ruin the episode
Two hours in, your guest’s connection stutters and their face goes to mush for a minute. In a call-recorded workflow that minute is gone. You recorded what arrived down the pipe, and what arrived was bad.
Here the call and the recording are different things. What you hear is the network’s best effort. What gets written to their machine is the full-quality camera and mic, untouched by the connection, uploading in the background while you keep talking.
- Nobody babysits an upload bar. The take is usually safe before you’ve said goodbye
- Closed laptop, dead router, crashed tab. Chunks are held locally and the upload resumes exactly where it stopped
- Reload-proof. A refresh mid-episode puts them back in the room on the same devices
A dropped connection costs you a few seconds of video call. Never a second of the master.
Three podcast participants, each with a 1080p local master: one uploading in the background, one resumed after a disconnect.
One session, four deliverables
A podcast isn’t one file. It’s an audio cut for the feed, a video cut for YouTube, a handful of vertical clips, and the show notes. They all come out of the same take.
Because every person was recorded separately, the audio mixdown isn’t a compromise you accept. You can drop one person’s cough, re-balance a quiet guest, or re-frame a shot, without touching anyone else’s track.
- Separate tracks. One 1080p MP4 per person, plus the composed program
- Audio-only mixdown for the podcast feed, in the same export pack as the per-track files and captions
- The video version. Your layout, your background, your accent colour, your logo in the corner you chose
- Caption files and a speaker-labelled transcript, because we already know who was on which track

The clips are made from the transcript, not from scrubbing
The unglamorous truth of podcasting is that the episode is the easy part and the promotion is the job. Six clips a week, cropped vertical, captioned, posted in four places.
Read the transcript, delete the lines you don’t want, and the video follows the text. Highlights get pulled out as clips, cropped to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 with captions burned in, and the chapters and show notes are drafted from what was actually said.
- Edit by deleting text. Filler, tangents and whole sections come out of the transcript
- Vertical clips with captions, ready for the places short video lives
- Show notes, chapters and title options drafted off the transcript, then rewritten by you
Three vertical 9:16 clip cards cut from the episode, each with burned-in captions.
Practical questions
What does my guest actually have to do?
Open a link, allow the camera and microphone, check they’re on the right devices in the green room, and join. No account, no app, no browser extension. If they pick the wrong microphone, and someone always does, they can switch mid-episode without leaving the room.
Can I record a video podcast and an audio one at the same time?
That’s the same session. You record video, and the export pack includes an audio-only mixdown alongside the per-track files, so the feed and the YouTube upload come from one recording rather than two setups.
What happens to the take if my guest disappears halfway through?
Their local recording keeps running, because it never depended on the connection. When they come back they rejoin on the same devices, and the upload picks up from the chunk it stopped on. Nothing is re-recorded.
How many episodes can I record a month?
Recording hours aren’t what we charge by. There’s no credit balance, no per-hour meter, and no separate charge to download your own separate tracks. That last habit is common elsewhere in this category, and it turns your raw files into a metered product.
Do my files get deleted if I stop paying?
No. The takes are plain MP4s you can download whenever, and we don’t run a delete countdown on your archive. One flat price, nothing metered, and the pricing published before anyone is asked to pay.
