AI can now generate entire podcast episodes from text, articles, and documents. But “AI podcast generator” means different things to different people. Here’s how to pick the right one.
There’s an important distinction most comparisons miss:
Consumption tools — turn content you want to consume (articles, newsletters, research) into audio so you can listen instead of read. You’re the audience.
Creation tools — help you produce podcasts for other people to listen to. You’re the creator.
Most tools lean one way. Picking the wrong type means frustration.
audiclip is built for people who save articles but never read them. Save URLs throughout the day. Each morning, two AI hosts turn everything into one podcast. Listen via RSS in any app.
Upload documents and generate a podcast discussion. Best for going deep on a single topic or document. Manual process — you choose what to upload each time.
Speechify has evolved from TTS into a voice AI platform. It now offers podcast-style formats (discussion, lecture, storytelling), summarization, and voice Q&A alongside traditional read-aloud. Available on every platform with 1,000+ voices.
