AI daily news podcast generator: a fresh briefing on your topic, every day

What is an AI daily news podcast?

An AI daily news podcast is a short audio brief built fresh from each day's sources on a topic you choose, such as AI developments, your industry, your competitors or financial markets. Nobody records anything. The research, script, voices and mastering are automated.

How to set up a daily news podcast with PodThis

1. Choose the Daily Briefing style. It is one of PodThis's 11 formats.
2. Name your topic in one sentence. For example: "AI developments for product managers" or "morning financial news".
3. Pick the schedule. Every day, every weekday or once a week.
4. Pick language and voices. Preview the cast and swap voices before generating. 70 languages are available (24 generally available, 46 in preview).
5. Listen anywhere. Each briefing gets its own page with a player, chapters, a full transcript and a "Sources" list of the news stories used. Public episodes also feed your profile's RSS feed.

What you get with every briefing

• Research from multiple sources before the script is written
• A short script written for the ear, with bumpers instead of long music beds
• Automatic chapter markers
• Searchable, downloadable transcript
• Mastered MP3 at podcast loudness (-16 LUFS) plus RSS
• Visibility control: public, unlisted or private

How much does a daily briefing cost?

A briefing episode costs about 1 credit. Weekday briefings use roughly 22 credits a month, which fits the Creator plan ($9/month, 40 credits). A weekly digest uses about 4 credits a month. On the free plan your first 5 briefing runs are free. After that the briefing pauses, and you can resume it on any plan, paying about 1 credit per episode. Every plan includes every feature. See pricing.

Who uses it

• Busy professionals who want an industry brief on the commute
• Teams who want a daily update on their market or competitors, shared as an unlisted link
• Investors and analysts who want a morning financial news summary
• AI followers who want a daily audio digest on AI developments

What does a briefing sound like?

A briefing uses a news-radio podcast style. One anchor reads it at a brisk pace, opens with the day and date, leads with the most important development and then moves through grouped updates, with short music bumpers between sections. It ends with what to watch next. The shape is the same every time, which is what makes a daily habit easy.

Episodes default to Short, about 10 min, because that is what a commute or a coffee fits. Because the pipeline knows what earlier episodes covered, it does not repeat yesterday’s background. You get audio that covers only what changed, not a voice reading headlines. The research is done with Google Gemini, and the topic line is the only input.

How often can a briefing run?

• Weekdays is the recommended rhythm for anything that moves during the working week: a sector, a market, a competitor set.
• Every day suits fast news, a live tournament, an election run-up.
• Weekly keeps slower topics meaty. A quiet subject on a daily schedule gets thin; weekly gives it seven days of material.

You choose a “ready by” time between 06:00 and 17:00 in your own time zone. The episode is produced ahead of it and waits in your library. The rhythm and the time can be changed later, and a briefing can be paused and resumed, from your plan settings. If a plan runs out of credits the briefing pauses rather than failing; you resume it once credits renew. The topic is fixed per briefing; a new topic is a new briefing.

What should I know before I start?

• Each episode is a normal PodThis episode: chapters, a transcript, cover art, an MP3 download. You choose whether it is private, unlisted or public.
• Briefing episodes are not reviewed by a person before you hear them. Read the editorial policy for what is and is not checked.
