The issue that goes with the episode, already drafted

Podcast newsletter generator

A ready-to-send issue for every episode: the hook, the three things worth knowing, the links that came up and a listen button. It is written from the transcript in your voice, so sending the newsletter stops being the job you skip when the week gets busy.

"New episode is out" is the email that trains people to stop opening. Writing a real issue takes an hour you don't have on publish day — which is why the newsletter is the job that slips first and stays slipped.

  • A full draft per episode, not a subject line and a link
  • The hook, three things worth knowing, the links, a listen button
  • Written from the transcript, so it says what the episode said
  • Paste it into whatever you send from

How it works

  1. 01

    Transcribe the episode

    The issue is written from the transcript, so it says what the episode said.

  2. 02

    Generate the issue

    The hook, three things worth knowing, the links that came up and a listen button — in your voice and format.

  3. 03

    Paste and send from your own tool

    Your list, your deliverability, your archive stay exactly where they are. Podlink drafts; you send.

What's in the draft

An episode newsletter that works has a shape: a reason to keep reading, a few things a subscriber gets even if they never press play, the links from the conversation, and an obvious way to listen. Podlink writes that, from the episode, every time — instead of the "new episode is out" email that trains people to stop opening.

  • An opening hook drawn from the strongest moment in the episode
  • Three things worth knowing, so the email is useful on its own
  • Names, books and links mentioned in the conversation
  • A clear listen link at the end

Send it from wherever you already send

Podlink drafts the issue; it doesn't own your list. Paste it into the tool you already use and send it from there, with your subscribers, your deliverability and your archive staying exactly where they are. Nothing to migrate, nothing to re-import, no second list to keep in sync.

  • Works with any email tool that accepts pasted content
  • Your list stays where it is
  • Subject line options come with the draft

In your voice, in your format

The newsletter inherits the same brand voice and structure settings as your show notes, so it reads like your show and not like a product update. Change the shape once — shorter intro, five bullets instead of three, no links section — and every issue after that follows.

  • Same voice as the rest of your output
  • Structure you set once at the show level
  • Editable before you send, like everything else

Podcast newsletter generator questions

What should a podcast newsletter include?

A reason to keep reading, a few things a subscriber gets even without pressing play, the links from the conversation, and one obvious listen button. That's the shape Podlink drafts for every episode — useful on its own, so opening it never feels like a chore.

Does Podlink send the newsletter for me?

No, and that's deliberate. It writes the issue and you send it from the tool that already has your subscribers, your sender reputation and your archive. Moving a list to a podcast tool is a much bigger decision than getting a draft written.

Which email tools does it work with?

Any of them. The draft is text you paste into your usual editor — there is nothing to connect and nothing to break when your email tool ships a change.

Can I write about more than one episode in an issue?

The draft is per episode, but it's a starting point, not a wall. If you publish twice a week and send once, generate both and combine them in your editor.

Do I get subject lines?

Yes, several per issue, so you are choosing between options rather than staring at an empty subject field with a finished email underneath it.
