podhoc.com is an AI-powered SaaS platform that transforms any content source into a ready-to-publish podcast.

Users paste a URL — a YouTube video, a PDF, a blog post, a document — and Podhoc fetches the transcript, generates a conversational podcast script using large language models, and produces the final audio with AI text-to-speech voices.

How it works

  1. Add a source — paste any URL (YouTube, PDF, DOCX, plain text, web pages)
  2. Transcript extraction — Podhoc fetches and caches the content automatically
  3. Script generation — AI providers (Google Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek) craft a natural podcast script from the source material
  4. Audio production — text-to-speech engines generate the final podcast audio
  5. Download & publish — get your podcast episode ready to distribute
