SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a podcast concept or episode brief into a structured, polished, and publish-ready spoken-word production while managing synthetic voice quality, rights, disclosure, accessibility, and platform delivery requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format and Show Design: Choose suitable podcast formats, create show bibles, define episode structure, and decide between fully synthetic and hybrid production.
  • Script and Voice Direction: Write for the ear, direct TTS performance, lock voice identities, control pronunciation, engineer multi-voice chemistry, and assemble consistent dialogue.
  • Publishing and QA: Clear music, SFX, and voice rights; meet loudness and encoding targets; produce RSS metadata, chapters, and speaker-labeled transcripts; validate AI disclosures and final delivery.
  • Use Case: Create a weekly synthetic business briefing with a locked host voice, scripted segments, licensed theme music, a WebVTT transcript, platform-ready audio, and a pre-publish compliance checklist.

Quick Start

Use the podcast-production skill to create a publish-ready episode from this brief, including the show format, ear-friendly script, voice direction, rights and AI disclosure notes, RSS metadata, transcript plan, and final QA checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions about podcast-production

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I produce a podcast episode with synthetic voices and consistent TTS direction?▼

To produce a synthetic podcast, you need to lock voice identities, direct TTS performance, and engineer multi-voice chemistry. This ensures consistent dialogue and controlled pronunciation across solo shows, narratives, or two-host conversations.

What RSS metadata and transcripts do I need for publish-ready podcast audio?▼

Publish-ready podcast audio requires validated RSS metadata and GUID discipline, speaker-labeled transcripts, and chapters. You must also meet podcast loudness and true-peak compliance, pass encoding checks, and complete a full listen-through QA.

Can I use generative voices for a weekly podcast briefing if I handle AI disclosure and rights?▼

Yes, you can create fully synthetic or hybrid weekly briefings by documenting voice consent, clearing music and SFX licenses, and validating AI disclosures. You also need to lock the host voice and script ear-friendly segments.

What's the best way to structure a podcast show bible and episode scripts for TTS?▼

The best way to structure a show bible is to define episode structure, choose suitable podcast formats, and decide between synthetic and hybrid production. Scripts must be written for the ear with explicit voice direction and pronunciation controls.

Why does podcast production require loudness compliance and encoding checks before publishing?▼

Podcast production requires loudness compliance and encoding checks to ensure audio meets platform delivery targets and plays correctly across devices. Validating these technical specs prevents playback issues and ensures final delivery quality.

Do I need documented consent and music licenses to publish a synthetic podcast?▼

Yes, producing a synthetic podcast requires documented consent for generative voices and valid music and SFX licenses. You must also include AI disclosures and pass a pre-publish compliance checklist before releasing the episode.
