Substack offers podcast hosting and AI voiceover features. audiclip turns any Substack newsletter into a daily podcast. They’re not competitors — they serve different sides of the newsletter ecosystem.

#Substack’s Audio Features

Substack offers two audio capabilities:

1. Podcast hosting — authors can upload audio episodes alongside their posts. Full RSS distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Free to use.
2. AI voiceover — a text-to-speech feature that reads posts aloud in a single AI voice. Limited rollout — not available to all publications.

For authors: You can add audio to your newsletter, but you have to create it (record yourself or use the limited TTS).

For readers: You can listen to voiceovers when available, but only in the Substack app or a browser window.

#audiclip’s Approach

audiclip works for the reader, not the author.

You subscribe to 15 Substack newsletters. You can’t keep up with reading all of them. Save the URLs of the posts you find interesting. audiclip turns them into one daily podcast.

• Two hosts discuss the key ideas conversationally (not TTS)
• All your Substack saves combined into one podcast (not separate per newsletter)
• Listen in any podcast app via RSS
• Works regardless of whether the Substack author offers audio
• Cross-language: save a French Substack, listen in English

#For Newsletter Authors: Both

If you’re a Substack author, you can use both:

• Substack’s features to offer author-recorded audio to your subscribers
• audiclip personally to listen to YOUR reading list — the newsletters you subscribe to

#For Readers: audiclip Fills the Gap

Substack’s audio features depend entirely on the author. If your favorite newsletter author doesn’t record voiceovers, you get nothing.

audiclip doesn’t depend on the author. Save any URL. Get a podcast. The author doesn’t even need to know.
