How’s your podcast workflow these days? (We’ve added video + a welcome back offer)


Hey there,

Quick question - has your podcast production process gotten simpler or more complex since we last saw you?

I’m Jacob from Alitu, and I’m genuinely curious how your podcasting journey has evolved. We’ve been listening to podcasters like you and making some big changes based on what we’ve heard.

The biggest change? Alitu now records video.

If you left us because you needed video capabilities, I’d love you to know we’ve finally added this much-requested feature. You can now:

  • Record with up to 12 remote guests with both audio AND video
  • Get a video file with everyone arranged neatly in a grid - perfectly formatted for YouTube
  • Still enjoy the same simple, distraction-free interface you remember

But here’s what matters most: We’ve added video without sacrificing what makes Alitu special – simplicity.

“My favorite thing about Alitu is that it makes podcasting accessible to anyone, regardless of technical ability. It doesn’t overwhelm you with features you’ll never use.” – Recent Alitu user

We’ve been focusing on doing one thing exceptionally well

When you were last with us, we were laser-focused on building the simplest audio podcast workflow possible. We deliberately held off on video until we felt our audio process was truly excellent.

Since then, we’ve:

Added multi-track editing with background music – Layer tracks with precise control over volume, timing, and fades

Automated even more of the technical stuff – Our cleanup, EQ, and noise reduction are better than ever

Added text-based editing – Edit your podcast like a document, not a waveform

Added magic filters for filler words and silences – Gone in a click! And you can manually review the edits

Built in one-click Apple Podcasts publishing – From recording to Apple in minutes

Included podcast hosting at no extra cost – No need for separate hosting subscriptions

And we’ve done all this while keeping Alitu refreshingly straightforward. No feature bloat. No endless settings. No technical expertise required.

I’m curious - what’s your current workflow like?

Is your current setup giving you everything you need? Or do you find yourself:

  • Juggling multiple tools and subscriptions?
  • Struggling with overly complex multi-track editing?
  • Spending more time on production than you’d like?
  • Dealing with features you rarely use but have to navigate around?
  • Finding it harder to stay consistent with your publishing schedule?

Whether you come back to Alitu or not, I’d genuinely love to hear about your experience. What’s working? What isn’t? Just hit reply and let me know.

Looking ahead: Video that’s as easy as our audio

Soon, we’ll make video editing as simple as our audio editing. When you edit your audio, those same edits will automatically apply to your video – no separate video editing required.

“We’re going to do for video podcasts what Alitu has been doing for years for audio - make it radically simpler,” as Colin (our founder) puts it.

Want to give Alitu another try?

Happy podcasting,

Jacob Head of Growth at Alitu

🎙️ TUESDAY TOUCHPOINT Hullo there! Well, what do you think of our new look!? We've been chatting for a while now about improving the newsletter and working harder to make it an essential resource for you each week. The email (in its various iterations) has been a vital part of our content offerings these past 15+ years, but we've decided to make it our top priority in 2025.

Hullo there! This week, there's a great discussion in the IndiePod Community posing the question, "Should podcasters work for free?". Part of that involves the subject of podcasters taking payments from guests to be on their show. Is this poor form, or just another monetisation option open to creators? Be sure to join the community and have your say. Speaking of discussions, fewer podcasters are keen to have them on the platform known as X these days. I'll admit I know little to nothing about...

Hullo there! On the latest episode of Podcraft (recorded on no fewer than eight different recording platforms, incidentally!), we ran through 16 common podcasting myths. One of those was around podcast sponsorship, and how it's in no way the only or "best" way to monetise a show. But that doesn't mean we'd discourage anyone from finding or running a sponsor. In our guide to podcast sponsorship, we get into why it might be a good fit for your show, and how much you could potentially earn....
