Podcast teams need QC before publish, not after

Catch audio, content, and publishing issues before every episode goes live.

Most podcast tooling helps you edit faster; almost none helps you catch the episode that’s about to go out broken.

THE MARKET

PodQC is aimed at independent podcast networks, production agencies, branded studios, and internal marketing teams producing 5+ episodes per month. The dataset estimates a small-to-mid seven-figure annual SaaS opportunity, with demand_score 61 and overall_score 60.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"How do I quality check a podcast episode?”,“What should be checked before publishing a podcast?”,“How do I make sure podcast audio sounds consistent?"
THE GAP

Existing tools like Descript, Auphonic, and Adobe Podcast focus on editing or audio processing, not release-quality assurance. Teams still miss loudness issues, broken links, sponsor-read mistakes, and transcript mismatches.

THE BUILD

Build a pre-publish checklist engine that checks loudness, clipping, silence gaps, transcript-to-audio mismatches, sponsor placement, and metadata completeness. Sell first to podcast agencies and networks with repeatable workflows, where one missed QC step can cost sponsor money.

WEEKEND MVP

Let teams upload an episode and get a pass/fail QC report with annotated issues and a publish-readiness score.
