Your readers are already listening. Just not to you.

More of your audience prefers audio while commuting, exercising, or cooking. Your newsletter isn’t reaching them there.

We handle everything between your newsletter and your listeners' ears.

When the cost of intelligence goes to zero. A thought exercise. Think of a subject you know nothing about. I'll go first. New England whaling in the 1800s. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Something about lamp oil and Herman Melville? I could probably lie to you for five minutes. I don't think I could do six.

Built for writers

Who Penpod is designed for

Two types of writers, one service. Both already have an audience Penpod helps them reach more of it.

Independent newsletter writers

Solo creators on Substack, Beehiiv, or Ghost. You have a loyal readership and want to give paid subscribers something your free tier doesn't,without adding more to your plate.

Publications and editorial teams

Established outlets who publish regularly and want a scalable audio layer for subscriber benefits — without building a podcast production operation internally.

Penpod is not a self-serve AI tool. This is a done-for-you service — we handle every conversion, every upload, every publish. If you want a button to click yourself, this isn't it (yet).
