Show notes and clips from one upload
Podsqueeze takes an episode and returns everything that gets written after it: show notes, chapters, a summary, social posts, and audiograms or video clips cut from the audio. It will stand up a website for the podcast as well. Plans are counted in minutes of audio a month, and the cheapest holds two hours, which is four half-hour episodes.
Our note
Against Castmagic the difference is the clips: Podsqueeze cuts video and audiograms from the same upload where Castmagic is text first. If the plan is to post to social from every episode, that is what decides it.
Only on this side
Remote recording captured locally in full quality
Riverside records every participant on their own machine, so a bad connection during the call does not ruin the file. Up to 4K video and separate audio tracks. Guests need a reasonably modern browser and some patience with the upload.
Our note
The one to buy if the video matters as much as the audio. If you only ever publish audio, the local-recording safety net is still the reason to be here, but a cheaper recorder plus good habits gets close.
