What complication of the current process would your product solve? I'm not all that familiar with the typical podcast workflow, but to me it seems the connection between recording/editing and publishing is just "upload an audio file", which doesn't seem like a big issue, so there is probably more to what you are planning integration-wise?

What problem are you trying to solve?

Let novice users (or even lazy pros) create a professional quality podcast without needing extra software or hosting.

Re: upload an audio file

Soundcloud built their business around doing just this, albeit for a different market. They do support Podcasts but you can tell from the interface it is meant for music primarily.

I'm not saying there's not a market here -- I'd like to hear more details (especially as someone starting a podcast).

Your landing page doesn't provide any information, and I'm still unclear what the specific pains you're solving are?

There's already several podcast-specific hosting companies (libsyn, blubrry, acast, buzzsprout), so what are you adding?

There's the RSS feed management and submitting to iTunes (most of the above have that).

On the audio creation part, there's Auphonic (automatic leveling and some mixing) and not much else (that I'm aware of) that's automated.

From my point of view, editing, transcribing, splicing ads, chapter-marking, compiling show notes, etc., are all manual processes right now, so automating or streamlining them would be great.

Something on the ads/sponsor side of things would be valuable: Google had tried doing this for radio spots back in the mid 2000's, but it flopped (not enough good inventory, among other things). I think with podcasts, there's a market that could be created.
