🎙️ Podcast Production Pipeline

From idea to published episode, streamlined. Focus on talking, not logistics.

The Problem

Podcast production is 20% recording and 80% everything else: research, outlines, show notes, transcription, editing, publishing, promotion. Most podcasters burn out on the admin, not the content.

The Solution

OpenClaw handles the pipeline: researches topics, creates outlines, generates show notes, transcribes episodes, creates social clips, and drafts promotion. You focus on the conversation.

Setup Guide

Step 1: Install Production Skills

openclaw skill install local-whisper  # Transcription

Create ~/openclaw/podcast/episode-template.md:

# Episode {number}: {title}
