How Pody Works — Step-by-Step Guide for Creators

How Pody Works

A complete walkthrough of producing a podcast through Pody — from signup to first published episode.

Step 1 — Sign up (5 minutes)

Visit pody.io, click "Get started." Create an account with email or Google. Choose Free or paid plan.

Step 2 — Create a podcast profile (10 minutes)

Add your podcast: name, description, cover art (1400×1400+), language, category. We auto-generate the RSS feed and unique podcast page at pody.io/podcast/{slug}.

Step 3 — Plan an episode (15 minutes)

Use the Kanban board: drag a card from "Idea" to "Draft." Add title, talking points, guest. If you need a guest, browse the Guest Pool.

Step 4 — Book a studio (5 minutes)

Browse studios in your city. Filter by audio/video, capacity, equipment. Pick a time slot. Pay through Pody (or use credits). You receive a calendar invite + studio address.

Step 5 — Record (~90 minutes)

Show up at the studio. Studio team handles all technical setup. Just talk. Studio uploads raw recording to Pody automatically.

Step 6 — Order editing (1 minute)

From the content page, choose AI, Basic, or Premium editing. Editor claims the job within 4 hours.

Step 7 — Review (24 hours after delivery)

Review the edit. Request revisions if needed (free 1–2 rounds). Approve when ready.

Step 8 — Publish (1 click)

Click "Publish." Episode is auto-distributed to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and 12+ directories. Reels are auto-generated for social.

Step 9 — Promote (ongoing)

Use generated reels for social posts. Track analytics. Schedule next episode.

Total time: 2-3 hours of your time per episode

The rest happens automatically (recording transfer, editor work, distribution). Compare to 8-12 hours per episode without Pody.
