Audiobook and podcast together
The same narration that becomes your retail audiobook is also packaged as a podcast. No double production cost - one pipeline, two outputs.
Upload a manuscript. Get a multi-voice audiobook AND a fully published podcast feed - chapters as episodes, scheduled and pushed to Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. One book, two revenue streams, zero manual editing.
Most authors think of a podcast as a separate show that takes years to build. AudioBook Factory reframes it: your book IS the podcast. Chapters are episodes. Listeners binge your series, subscribe to your feed and convert to buyers when you release the next title.
Drop your EPUB or DOCX. The AI cleans the text, detects chapters and prepares each one as a separate episode with its own title and description.
Pick a narrator and character voices. For fiction, each character gets a distinct, stable voice. For non-fiction, choose a single authoritative narrator.
Each chapter is narrated, mastered to podcast spec and tagged with ID3 metadata. Episode descriptions are generated from the chapter text.
Choose a release cadence - weekly, twice-weekly or daily. The system schedules and drip-releases episodes to keep listeners subscribed and returning.
The RSS feed goes live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music. A YouTube video is generated per episode. All platforms update automatically as new episodes release.
The same narration that becomes your retail audiobook is also packaged as a podcast. No double production cost - one pipeline, two outputs.
Set a weekly or daily episode cadence. The platform releases chapters on schedule, keeping your audience subscribed without any manual work after setup.
Each episode is also exported as a YouTube video with a branded audio visualiser - so your book reaches video audiences without extra production.
One manuscript generates podcast shows in English, French, Spanish and German. Each language gets its own RSS feed, its own episode schedule and its own YouTube playlist.
Character voices make fiction bingeable as a podcast. Listeners follow the characters across episodes - the same engagement mechanics as a drama podcast, at a fraction of the cost.
The RSS feed is published through your own podcast host account. You own the show and keep all listener data. No vendor lock-in, no revenue share with us.
We recommend and support Transistor, which offers reliable hosting, unlimited shows and a 25% affiliate discount for AudioBook Factory users. You can also connect your existing host if it supports RSS publishing via API.
Yes. You can release the first few chapters as free episodes to build an audience, then gate later chapters behind a subscription or direct listeners to the full audiobook on retail stores.
If your audiobook was produced by AudioBook Factory, the podcast add-on activates with no re-processing. If it was produced elsewhere, you can upload the existing audio files and we will map them to episodes.
If you are also producing the audiobook through AudioBook Factory, the podcast is set up at the same step with no extra configuration. A book is live as a podcast in under two hours from upload.
Yes. Upload finished chapters as you write them. The system generates each episode on upload and queues it into the schedule. Listeners can follow along as you write - a growing approach in serialised fiction communities.
The podcast add-on is $9 to $15 per title per month, depending on your plan. It sits on top of the audiobook production cost. See pricing for the full grid.
