What's new from Buzzsprout

Cohost AI now helps you market your podcast. It will automatically create three tweets and write a draft blog post for each episode, helping you save in your podcasting workflow.

We've improved our transcript editor for Cohost AI. It has an improved UI, you can change speaker names at once, assign speaker roles, and quickly make edits to your transcript. 

Buzzsprout is thrilled to announce Cohost AI—a groundbreaking tool that seamlessly integrates AI into your podcasting workflow.

Cohost AI automatically generates episode titles, descriptions, chapter markers, and transcripts, freeing podcasters from these often time-consuming tasks.

Cohost AI generates five episode titles based on the topics discussed in the podcast episode. Podcasters can choose any option or tweak one for the final episode title.

The episode description is written in paragraph format and covers each topic in the episode. Similar to the episode title, the descriptions can be edited before being published.

By leveraging the power of advanced AI platforms, Cohost AI saves podcasters time while enhancing their episodes with Podcasting 2.0 features like transcripts and chapter markers.

Cohost AI generates a complete podcast transcript using an advanced transcription engine. Buzzsprout transcripts include speaker names, roles, and timestamps.

Cohost AI joins other initiatives from Buzzsprout, like Magic Mastering, Dynamic Content, automatic file optimization, and the Smart Insertion Point Finder that help podcasters focus on what they do best—creating great podcasts.

Buzzsprout Ads now supports both product advertisements and podcast promos. 

Brands and businesses can set up an account and place a podcast ad within 15 minutes, making Buzzsprout Ads the easiest way to get started in podcast advertising. 

All Buzzsprout accounts can add unlimited team members. These accounts can be given one of three user roles: editor, admin, or owner. 

You can now use Dynamic Content to add mid-rolls to your back catalog. Dynamic Content uses our Smart Insertion Point technology to automatically identify good places to add mid-rolls to your episodes. This saves you hours of relistening to your episodes to find pauses in the conversation.

All mid-roll content includes a transition to help your listers identify that this is a different type of content.

We also used this opportunity to give our Dynamic Content Library a facelift. 

Whether you're just getting started or have been podcasting for years, Buzzsprout Subscriptions provide a clear path to a listener-supported podcast.

You can set up a subscription and start by accepting recurring support from your listeners in less than 2 minutes. Then, once you're ready, you can start incentivizing more listeners to support the show with premium subscriber-only content.

Buzzsprout Subscriptions is available on all paid plans, so there's no need to set up another tool or manage multiple platforms.

Email spam has increasingly become an issue for podcasters. Spammers and bots routinely scrape RSS feeds to collect podcasters' email addresses and send them junk emails.

To help protect your privacy, Buzzsprout is removing email addresses from your RSS Feed so that shady marketers and bots cannot find your email address.

If you ever need to include your email in your feed, like when submitting to iHeart Radio, we’ve created a simple way to add an email address to your feed for 24 hours. This is enough time to verify you own the podcast without allowing the spammers and bots to grab your email address.

We hope this makes your email experience a bit nicer. 

Your Episode Footer is an easy way to add the same information to the end of all your episode descriptions. It's perfect for adding links to social media profiles, to credit the team that makes your podcast, or to give your listeners an easy way to contact the show.
 

Anything you write in your Episode Footer will automatically be added to the end of the episode description for every episode. 

Buzzsprout Ads can now find insertion points in your entire back catalog automatically. 

Just click on an episode without insertion points, click Mid-Roll Settings, and Buzzsprout Ads will find mid-roll placements for that episode. This is especially useful for podcasts with evergreen content.
