Voice generation and dubbing you can publish
ElevenLabs clones a voice from a short sample and dubs video into other languages while keeping the delivery. Creators use it for narration, corrections and reaching audiences in other languages. Disclose it, and get permission before cloning anyone else.
Our note
The commercial licence sitting on the paid tier rather than the free one is the thing people miss. If a generated voice is going anywhere public, be on Starter at least, and disclose it.

Podcast hosting with unlimited shows
Transistor hosts as many podcasts as you like on one subscription, which matters if you run several or produce for clients. Private feeds make paid subscriber shows straightforward. Analytics are honest rather than flattering.
Our note
The obvious choice for a network or an agency, and overkill for one show with a small audience. The private feed support is better than most platforms treat it, which matters if members are what pays for the podcast.
