Newsworthy.ai today launched Podcast PR at podcastpr.news, a product that transforms each new podcast episode into a newsroom-ready press release and distributes it through the Newsworthy.ai and Newsramp.com networks. The service aims to bridge the gap between podcast content and press coverage, ensuring that valuable conversations reach a broader audience.
Podcast PR operates by connecting a show's RSS feed once. When a new episode goes live, the system transcribes the audio, drafts a professional release from the actual conversation, and routes it for human review before publication. Each published credit produces a comprehensive press package, including a news-style headline and abstract, a five-paragraph body of roughly 450 to 550 words, a verbatim pull quote from the episode transcript, four to six reader FAQs grounded in the conversation, category and regional targeting tags, and banner and news imagery drawn from the show or episode artwork. The system can also incorporate up to 10 chapter images when a feed exposes Podcasting 2.0 chapter art.
Quotes are pulled directly from what was said on the episode, ensuring authenticity. Publishers retain control over the content, as every draft can be edited and submitted for editorial review before publication and distribution. The process follows three simple steps: connect a feed, draft from the transcript, and review and publish. A free Newsworthy.ai account is required to review and submit releases.
The benefits extend beyond the podcast itself. Each press release highlights key topics discussed, featured guests, and the organizations and companies they represent. This approach provides podcast hosts with another way to deliver value to their guests, offering visibility through a professionally distributed news release designed for search engines, AI-powered search platforms, and online news discovery. As people search for the topics covered in an episode, they have additional opportunities to discover the discussion, experts, and organizations behind it.
"Great podcast interviews deserve to live beyond the podcast player," said David McInnis, founder of Newsworthy.ai and pioneer of the News Marketing discipline. "Podcast PR helps turn every episode into a discoverable news asset by highlighting not only the conversation itself, but also the guests, the organizations they represent, and the ideas they share. That creates lasting value for everyone involved in the episode."
Distribution is built for search and AI assistants. Every published release receives full Newsworthy.ai and Newsramp.com distribution, syndicating to hundreds of online publications and news sites. Releases include deep JSON-LD structured data at no upcharge, are public, timestamped, entity-rich, and permanently archived. This format enables Google, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to find, understand, and cite the content. Releases are scored for SEO, factual density, and semantic clarity to ensure the strongest moments from an episode become the passages most likely to surface when someone asks about the topic.
"Every podcast episode is an opportunity to build awareness," said Mark Willaman, co-founder of Newsworthy.ai. "Podcast PR helps ensure the people, companies, and ideas featured in each conversation become more discoverable long after the episode is published."
Pricing uses a simple, credit-based, pay-per-use model with no subscription or retainer. One credit publishes and distributes one press release from a podcast episode. Pricing starts at $129 per release, with substantial savings available through multi-credit packages for frequent podcasters. Podcast PR is built for independent podcasters, brands and founders who run a show as a proof point for their expertise, and agencies and producers who need scalable press distribution across client shows.
Podcast PR is available now at podcastpr.news. Getting started takes a few minutes: create or sign in to a Newsworthy.ai account, connect a feed, choose a brand, buy credits, and publish the next episode as news.
