DoneCast

What DoneCast is

DoneCast is a web application for turning raw recordings into edited podcast episodes and publishing them. It automatically removes filler words, false starts, and silence, and hosts can use spoken editing commands while recording. Remote guests join through a browser link without an app or account, with each speaker captured on a separate track. DoneCast hosts an RSS feed for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major directories; it can also connect to YouTube for selected episode publishing and import recordings from YouTube or Zoom. Transcript-based AI tools generate episode titles, descriptions, and show notes. Creator includes advanced analytics and email support within 24 hours; Studio includes complete analytics and priority email and chat support. All plans include weekly Wednesday office hours and a free trial that requires no credit card to start; the pricing page does not specify its duration. Creator costs $49 a month and Studio costs $119 a month. DoneCast says it does not sell personal information or use content to train third-party foundation models. It is not HIPAA-compliant and prohibits uploading protected health information.

Who it suits

DoneCast is aimed at people starting a podcast and podcasters seeking a simpler production workflow. It says it is not for professional audio engineers who prefer manual workflows.

Limits

Creator costs $49 a month and includes 600 production minutes per month, up to two podcasts, and up to 12 minutes of AI voice. Studio costs $119 a month and includes 3,000 production minutes per month, up to five podcasts, and up to 36 minutes of AI voice.

Getting started

1. Visit the DoneCast website and begin a free trial without a credit card.
2. Import a recording from YouTube or Zoom, or record with remote guests through a browser link.
3. Use spoken editing commands while recording or let DoneCast remove filler words, false starts, and silence.
4. Review transcript-based episode titles, descriptions, and show notes.
5. Use the hosted RSS feed for podcast directories, or connect YouTube to publish selected episodes.

Verdict

DoneCast brings recording, automatic editing, show-note generation, and publishing together in a web workflow. Its published audience and PHI restriction are important considerations, as are the monthly prices for Creator and Studio.
