Four years inside a podcast platform's product team.
From 2022 to the end of 2025 we worked as an extension of RSS.com's product team. It started with three ideas to take from research to production, and they shipped as automatic free transcripts, BetterAudio™, which cleans noise, echo and levels, and PodViz, which turns an episode into a YouTube video.
Then we kept shipping in weekly sprints: the public podcast pages with interactive chapters, soundbites and transcripts, the embeddable player, the podcaster dashboard, monetisation and billing, and the marketing site in several languages. We also built a video translation tool that transcribes, translates and dubs an episode with a generated voice.
Research
Open-source models compared on RSS.com's own episodes, licences checked for commercial use.

Each one wrapped in an API and a Docker container, run as batch jobs on AWS and pods in their Kubernetes.
Ship
Free transcripts, BetterAudio™ and PodViz, live for every podcaster.
Grow
Weekly sprints on pages, player, dashboard, billing and the marketing site, and a video translation tool.
