Traditional podcast apps play existing shows. AI podcast apps CREATE shows from your content. Here’s the difference, and which apps do it best.
Traditional (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast):
AI-powered (new category):
audiclip generates a daily podcast from articles you save. Two hosts discuss your curated content every morning. Delivered via RSS to your existing podcast app.
ElevenReader turns articles, PDFs, and eBooks into podcast-style discussions with the best AI voices available. On-demand per article.
Google’s NotebookLM generates thorough podcast discussions from uploaded documents. Interactive — ask the hosts questions.
Speechify reads articles aloud and generates podcast-style discussions. Available on every platform. 1,000+ voices.
The best setup: use an AI podcast app to GENERATE content, then listen in your TRADITIONAL podcast app.
audiclip does this natively — it generates episodes and delivers them via RSS to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Overcast. You don’t need a new listening app.
ElevenLabs, NotebookLM, and Speechify keep you in their own apps. No RSS distribution to your existing podcast player.
