Publishing automation · Any show, anywhere

We automate the boring half of publishing, and keep a human on the half that can embarrass you.

Show notes, fact check, vertical clips, artwork cards and a full week of social, all built from the transcript days before release. You read one document and say yes. Everything else is scheduled before the episode is out.

Your show does not have to be recorded at the barn. This works on whatever you already record, wherever you record it.

  • Two sentences per episode
  • Human review gate
  • Release-day verification
  • Five channels

What you actually do

Two sentences, days apart.

On the Experience podcast, the entire client involvement in a release is two messages. The first says build episode six. Some days later, after reading what came back, the second says schedule it. That is the whole job.

Everything between and after those two sentences is automated, and everything that carries reputational risk is put in front of a person before it goes anywhere.

How it works

Three passes. The work moves off release day.

Most publishing problems happen because everything lands in the same hour. Splitting the work into three passes is what stops that.

A

At edit lock, three days or more before release

Build

From the transcript alone: the episode summary, the show notes, the LinkedIn posts and the social copy pack. It fact checks the episode, picks the moments worth cutting, cuts and reframes the clips from the master, builds the artwork cards and drafts the week of social copy. None of it needs the episode to be public, which is the point. The work moves off release day.

B

Once a human has read Pass A and approved it

Schedule

Creates and schedules the episode on the hosting platform, adds it to the website with the player, the show notes and the structured data, schedules the long-form video on YouTube, and queues the week across five social channels. Nothing is scheduled that a person has not read first.

C

Release morning, on its own

Verify

Confirms the feed, the site, the video and every queued post actually landed. It only speaks up if something failed. On the last episode a clip errored on upload at two in the afternoon; the verification pass caught it, and it was live an hour later.

The proof

One fifty-minute recording, one release day.

Episode six of Experience was recorded and released on the same day, 25 August 2026, because the release was called forward. Everything landed. This is what came out of one recording, and what the gates caught on the way.

13

vertical clips, captions burned in

6

artwork cards

5

documents from the transcript

43

posts scheduled across five channels

The fact check held four errors back

Before any of them reached the show notes, the website or a single post. Among them a misattributed book title and a policy scheme that does not exist.

A quality gate pulled a card and a title

Both carried a hypothetical headline naming a real company. In context it was clearly hypothetical. Out of context, on a muted scroll, it read as a real claim.

A failed upload was fixed within the hour

On release afternoon one clip errored on upload to YouTube. The verification pass found it, and it was live an hour later. Nobody had to be watching.

Every figure on this page comes from the run reports for that episode and can be shown to you.

The check metadata cannot do

Every automated check can pass and the clip can still be wrong.

Experience is a vision mix. The picture cuts between single shots of each host and a wide two shot of both. A fixed centre crop keeps the middle third of the width, which looks right on a single shot and lands in the gap between the hosts on a two shot.

Correct length. Correct aspect ratio. Captions burned in. Queued against the right channels. Every automated check passes, because nothing that reads metadata can see the picture.

So the pipeline runs a face detector across the finished file and counts faces frame by frame, and a contact sheet goes in front of a person before anything uploads.

That is one of a set of gates built over six episodes of running this show properly. Each one exists for a reason, each one is written down, and we will walk you through the lot in a first conversation. It is a more useful document than any feature list.

If you want to own it outright

Build and Hand Over

We build the pipeline against your own accounts and tooling, run it alongside your team for three episodes, then hand over the scripts, the credentials and a written runbook. For agencies and in-house teams who would rather have the capability than the service.

Agencies planning to run several shows on it should talk to us about licensing instead. That is a different conversation and a different price.

£2,950 setup +VAT

then £250 a month support, optional and cancellable

Add-ons available on any tier: Facebook group distribution paced through a real logged-in browser, extra channels, and ad-hoc episodes outside the schedule. Thirty days notice on anything recurring.

Who it suits

Same system, four different problems.

The pipeline does not change much between these. The reason for buying it does.

Podcast hosts and small shows

Release day is a scramble, and the promotion either happens badly or does not happen. You record and edit. You read one document and say yes. Everything else is already scheduled before the episode is out.

Agencies and production companies

Publishing is unbillable time that scales with every client you add. Moving the work to edit lock is what stops every release colliding in the same window. One producer can carry several shows. Licensing and white-label are worth a separate conversation.

Businesses with content teams

The content exists. It just never gets cut up and distributed consistently, and nobody owns it. One recording, five channels, a week of posts, and a written record of what published where.

Membership bodies and associations

A publishing obligation with a fixed date and a small team. It goes out on the day, and if it does not, somebody knows within the hour rather than the following week. Boards tend to like the audit trail.

Worth saying plainly

One show runs on this today.

Experience, hosted by Hilary Jeffs and Peter Kinderman, six episodes published. Every figure on this page comes from that show, and the run reports are yours to inspect.

We are opening it to a small number of shows beyond that. Being early means direct access to the people who built the pipeline, a say in what it does next, and a level of attention that will not survive the tenth client.

The obvious questions

Asked and answered.

Could I not just use one of the AI clip tools?
For a single-camera show, quite possibly, and we would say so. The gap is that those tools have no opinion about whether the crop they chose contains a face. If your show is a vision mix between single shots and two shots, a fixed centre crop will fail on the two shots and nothing will tell you. We know because it happened to us.
Will it write in our voice?
The drafts come from your transcript and your existing published copy, and a human edits them before anything is scheduled. There is a review gate and it is not optional. The system drafts; it does not publish on its own.
How do you stop mistakes reaching publication?
Layered gates, each one built for a specific class of problem, and a human review before anything schedules. Every gate is documented alongside the reason it exists, and we will walk you through that document in a first conversation. Six episodes of running a live show is what produced the list.
Are you putting AI slop out under our name?
Every claim in the show notes is fact-checked against sources, and anything unverifiable is flagged rather than smoothed over. We never set a hypothetical or an invented headline in type, on a card, in a video title or in a burned-in caption, because on a muted scroll only the words survive and a hypothetical reads as a claim.
What if you get hit by a bus?
That is what the Build and Hand Over tier is for. The scripts, the runbook and the credentials are yours, running against your own accounts.
What does it cost to run, underneath?
The social scheduler is around twenty-three dollars a month on the plan we use, covering five channels and four hundred posts against a realistic forty. Nothing else in the stack carries a per-episode fee. We would rather tell you the real number than bury it.
How many shows are running on this?
One today: Experience, hosted by Hilary Jeffs and Peter Kinderman, six episodes published, and we are opening it to a small number of others. Every figure on this page comes from that show and the run reports are yours to inspect. Early clients get direct access to the people who built the pipeline.

Tell us about your show

What are you publishing, and how often?

Cadence, format, where it is hosted, which channels matter. We will come back within a working day with a price and an honest read on whether this is a fit. If your show is single-camera and simple, we will tell you that too.
