# AI Podcast Generator

> An AI podcast generator turns a written script into a podcast episode spoken by AI voices, so you don't need a microphone or a recording booth. Kenerate AI does it in steps, not in one click: you write the script, voice each host in Voice Studio (from 15 credits per 1,000 characters), make an intro theme in Music Studio and join the clips in any audio editor. For a video podcast, Avatar Talk makes one host or two people talk to those voices, up to 10 minutes per video.

- Demo "Alicia" (English, ElevenLabs Eleven v3): script: [excited] Welcome to the show! Today we're taking a plain block of text and turning it into a voice you'd swear was recorded in a studio. [whispers] And nobody has to know.
- Demo "Aria" (English, ElevenLabs Eleven v3): script: [cheerfully] Hey! So I finally tried that new ramen place downtown, and honestly? Worth the forty-minute line.
- Demo "Designed voice" (English, Qwen3 Voice Design): voice description: A warm, slightly husky woman in her forties with a gentle Southern American drawl, speaking slowly like a country radio host at dawn — script: Mornin', y'all.

- Demo "Instant clone" (English, Qwen3 Voice Clone): script: Okay, that's honestly a little spooky. It even does the thing where I speed up when I get excited.

## Steps
1. Write the script with speaker names — Mark every line with who says it (SAM:, ALEX:). Ten minutes is about 1,300–1,500 words. Write it yourself or draft it with Kenerate Agent, then fact-check it.
2. Pick one voice per host — In Voice Studio, choose a preset, design a voice from a description, or clone your own from a 3–15 s sample. Keep the same voice and settings for every episode.
3. Voice each host's lines — Generate one clip per turn (or per block of turns) in that host's voice. Each clip can hold up to 10,000 characters on MiniMax; replay and regenerate any line that sounds off.
4. Make the intro theme — In Music Studio, ask Ken Music 1 for a ~30-second instrumental cue (12 credits), or use ElevenLabs Music v2.5 for an exact length.
5. Join and publish — Put the clips in order in any audio editor (Audacity, GarageBand, Descript…), add the theme, export, and say in the show notes that the voices are AI-generated.
6. Optional: the video version — In Avatar Talk, give one host a portrait and their audio (Kenerate Avatar, up to 10 min), or put two people in one photo with the Duo engine and one track each.

## In depth

### Kenerate vs a one-click AI podcast generator
HeyGen's AI podcast generator is the page that tops Google for this search. Here's how the two approaches differ.
HeyGen facts from its own AI podcast generator page, read 22 October 2026. Kenerate facts from the app's code.
- Document in, episode out: Kenerate — No — you write the script and voice each host; HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — Yes — text, PDF, DOCX, PPT or a URL
- Hosts: Kenerate — As many as you voice; two on screen with the Duo avatar engines; HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — One or two AI voices
- Preset voices: Kenerate — 555 (MiniMax, ElevenLabs, Qwen3, Kling); HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — 300+
- Languages: Kenerate — Up to 70 (ElevenLabs Eleven v3); HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — 177+ languages and dialects
- Your own voice: Kenerate — Instant clone from a 3–15 s sample; HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — Clone from a 30-second sample
- Video version: Kenerate — Avatar Talk: one host up to 10 min, or two people from one photo; HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — Lip-synced avatar host or a faceless video
- Intro music: Kenerate — Made separately in Music Studio (12 credits a cue); HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — Background music, intros and outros built in
- Price per episode: Kenerate — Shown before you generate: per character (voice), per second (video); HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — No prices on the generator page
- Free start: Kenerate — 25 credits on sign-up, no watermark; HeyGen AI Podcast Generator — Free plan; MP4 exports carry a watermark (its FAQ)

### What an AI podcast generator actually does
Two different tools hide behind the same search. One kind reads your document and writes and voices a conversation about it for you — a summary in podcast form. The other kind gives you studio-quality voices and leaves the show to you: you script it, cast the voices and edit it, without a microphone.
Kenerate is the second kind. That's slower than a one-click summary, but it's the version that sounds like a show with a format, recurring hosts and an intro, rather than two voices reacting to a PDF.

### Writing a two-host script
A script that reads well on paper often sounds stiff out loud. What helps:
- A reason to talk — the host asks what the listener would ask; the co-host answers, disagrees or jokes.
- Short turns — two to four sentences each, then hand over.
- Spoken numbers — “about forty percent”, not “39.6%”.
- Pace for the ear — conversational speech runs roughly 130–150 words a minute, so 10 minutes is about 1,300–1,500 words [1].
- A fixed shape — cold open, theme, three segments, outro. Listeners like knowing where they are.

### Joining the clips into an episode
Kenerate gives you clean, separate clips; the edit is yours:
- Import the clips in script order into any audio editor; name files by turn number so they sort themselves.
- Leave a short gap between turns, and let the co-host start a fraction early now and then — real conversations overlap.
- Put the intro theme under the cold open, then fade it out; bring it back for the outro.
- Export at a consistent loudness and add chapters if your host platform supports them.

### The video version
For one host, Avatar Talk lip-syncs a portrait to the voice track: Kenerate Avatar for the cleanest 1080p presenter video, SoulX FlashHead for long episodes at the lowest rate. For two people, the Duo engines take one photo with both of them and a separate track per person. In “Together” mode you're billed for the longer track, so build both tracks to the same timeline in your editor — each with silence while the other person talks.
Video is where the credits go: speech for a 10-minute episode costs a few hundred credits, while a 10-minute Duo video at 480p costs 5,400. Render a 30-second test first.

### Disclosure, consent and cloned voices
The rules worth knowing before you publish:
- Apple Podcasts — synthetic voices and AI hosts must be disclosed prominently in the content and in episode and show metadata (section 1.11) [2].
- YouTube — realistic synthetic content needs a label, but cloning your own voice for a voice-over is listed as not needing one [3].
- Consent — clone only your own voice, or a co-host's with their clear yes. Never a public figure's, and never a voice used to make someone appear to say what they didn't.

### Podcast lines to try
Open any of these in Voice Studio, then swap in your show's name and topic.
- Cold open (host A): Here's a number that surprised me this week: most people check their phone within ten minutes of waking up. So today, one question. Is that a habit, or is it a design choice?
- Reply with a laugh (host B, Eleven v3): [laughs] Okay, I'm checking mine right now, so I'm clearly not the right person to answer that. [curious] But go on. Who designed it?
- Late-night host (Qwen3, style prompt): It's just past midnight, the city's gone quiet, and we've got one story to get through. Pour something warm. We're in no hurry.
- Sponsor-free ad break: Quick break. This show has no sponsors, just listeners. If it helped you this week, share it with one person who'd like it. Right, back to it.
- Outro: That's the episode. Sources and notes are in the show description. Thanks for listening, and see you next week.

## FAQ
Q: Is there a one-click AI podcast generator on Kenerate?
A: No. Kenerate doesn't turn a PDF or a link into a finished two-host episode in one click. You write the script (or draft it with Kenerate Agent), voice each host in Voice Studio, make an intro theme in Music Studio and join the clips in an audio editor. It takes longer than a one-click tool, but you control every word, voice and pause.

Q: Can I make a podcast with two AI hosts?
A: Yes. Give each host their own voice — for example a MiniMax voice for the host and an ElevenLabs voice for the co-host — and generate each host's lines in that voice. Then put the clips in order in your editor. For a video, the InfiniteTalk Duo engine in Avatar Talk animates two people in one photo, each speaking from their own audio track.

Q: How much does an AI podcast episode cost?
A: A 10-minute episode is roughly 1,300–1,500 words, about 8,000 characters. On MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD (30 credits per 1,000 characters) that's about 240 credits; on ElevenLabs Eleven v3 (60 per 1,000) about 480; on Qwen3 TTS (15 per 1,000) about 120. A Ken Music 1 intro cue adds 12 credits. Each clip rounds up to a whole credit. One-time packs start at $15 for 1,300 credits.

Q: Is the AI podcast generator free?
A: Free to start: a new account gets 25 credits, enough for about 800 characters on MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD — plenty to audition voices for your hosts. A full episode needs more credits. Voice Studio, Music Studio and Avatar Talk don't need a paid plan, just credits, and nothing carries a watermark.

Q: Can I use my own voice?
A: Yes. Upload or record a clean 3–15 second sample and Qwen3 Voice Clone reads your script in that voice straight away, for 15 credits per 1,000 characters. You can also save a clone for the MiniMax engines (480 credits once). Only clone your own voice or one you have clear permission to use.

Q: Can I make a video podcast with AI?
A: Yes, in Avatar Talk. For one host, add a portrait and the voice track: Kenerate Avatar runs up to 10 minutes at 7.5 credits a second (720p), SoulX FlashHead at 4.5 a second (480p). For two people, InfiniteTalk Duo takes a photo of both and one audio track per person, at 9 credits a second (480p). A 10-minute video costs thousands of credits, so try a 30-second clip first.

Q: Do I have to say my podcast uses AI voices?
A: On Apple Podcasts, yes: its content guidelines (section 1.11) say creators using synthetic voices or AI hosts must disclose it prominently in the content and in each episode's and show's metadata. YouTube asks for a label on realistic synthetic content, but not for cloning your own voice for a voice-over. A line in the intro and the show notes covers both.

Q: How long can each recording be?
A: Each Voice Studio clip holds up to 10,000 characters on MiniMax and ElevenLabs Multilingual v2, and 5,000 on Eleven v3 and Qwen3. Most two-host shows work best one turn per clip anyway. Avatar Talk videos run up to 10 minutes each; split longer episodes into parts.

Q: Can Kenerate Agent make the whole episode for me?
A: Partly. In the chat it can draft the script, voice it with generate_speech and compose a theme with generate_music, and in Ask first mode it shows you the plan before it spends credits. It can join finished video clips with music (2–20 clips, up to 3 minutes), but it has no tool to stitch audio-only clips into one long episode — that last step happens in your editor.

Q: What about Google's Audio Overviews?
A: Google's notebook tool makes a two-host audio discussion from documents you upload, and its own help page warns the result may contain inaccuracies. It's a summary of your sources, not a show you script. Kenerate is the other way round: you decide what each host says, which voice they have and how the episode sounds.
