Newsworthy.ai today announced the launch of Podcast PR at podcastpr.news, a service that turns podcast episodes into newsroom-ready press releases and distributes them through the Newsworthy.ai and Newsramp.com networks. This product aims to close the gap between the newsworthy conversations that podcasters produce weekly and the press coverage they often fail to attract.
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 full press package, including a news-style headline, 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's artwork. Up to 10 chapter images can be included when the feed exposes Podcasting 2.0 chapter art.
The system pulls quotes directly from what was said on the episode, avoiding invented attributed quotes or unsupported claims. Publishers retain control: every draft can be edited before submission for editorial review, publication, and distribution. The process follows three steps: connect a feed, draft from the transcript, and review and publish. Each published release uses one Podcast PR credit from the brand's balance, and a free Newsworthy.ai account is required to manage submissions.
According to David McInnis, founder of Newsworthy.ai and pioneer of the News Marketing discipline, "Great podcast interviews deserve to live beyond the podcast player. 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."
The service benefits hosts, guests, and brands by giving podcast hosts another way to deliver value to their guests. Instead of receiving exposure only through the podcast audience, guests and the organizations they represent gain visibility through a professionally distributed news release designed for search engines, AI-powered search platforms, and online news discovery. This approach aims to create broader awareness for the podcast, the host, the featured guests, and the companies connected to the conversation.
Podcast PR is more than an AI writing tool; it transforms each episode into a professionally distributed news story that can increase discoverability for the podcast, its guests, the organizations they represent, and the topics they discuss. Every published release receives full Newsworthy.ai and Newsramp.com distribution, syndicating to hundreds of online publications and news sites. Releases ship with deep JSON-LD structured data at no upcharge, are public, timestamped, entity-rich, and permanently archived. This format is designed so Google can index the story and so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini can find, understand, and cite it. Behind the scenes, releases are scored for SEO, factual density, and semantic clarity so the strongest moments from an episode become the passages most likely to surface when someone asks about the topic.
Mark Willaman, co-founder of Newsworthy.ai, stated, "Every podcast episode is an opportunity to build awareness. Podcast PR helps ensure the people, companies, and ideas featured in each conversation become more discoverable long after the episode is published."
Pricing is credit-based, pay-per-use with no subscription or retainer, starting at $129 per release, with savings available through multi-credit packages for frequent podcasters. The service 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.
