Newsletters for Podcasters

Aldus listens to your podcast and auto-drafts a newsletter for every episode — show notes, key quotes, chapter summaries, and next-episode teasers. You ship it in 5 minutes, not 50.

Turn every episode into a newsletter — automatically →

The Scenario

You're a podcaster. Your audio audience loves you, but your newsletter is an afterthought — sporadic, half-baked, and a chore to write. You know newsletters drive the best conversion, but you don't have another 5 hours a week.

What You'll Achieve

  • A newsletter for every episode without adding hours
  • Searchable, SEO-optimised show notes that rank on Google
  • Turn podcast listeners into email subscribers
  • Monetise podcast sponsorships via newsletter too

How Aldus Handles It

Podcast-to-newsletter AI

Drop in your RSS feed or Spotify/Apple link. Aldus transcribes, summarises, and drafts a newsletter per episode.

Automatic show notes

AI extracts key timestamps, quotes, guest bios, and resources mentioned — formatted for SEO.

Listener-to-reader conversion

In-episode CTAs (via Libsyn, Buzzsprout, etc.) funnel listeners to your newsletter. Track conversion per episode.

Sponsorship double-dip

Sell a sponsor slot once, deliver it in both podcast audio and newsletter. Your CPMs effectively double.

Walkthrough: From Zero to First Send

Connect your podcast feed

Paste your RSS feed URL. Aldus auto-imports your latest 10 episodes for backfill.

2

AI drafts your first issue

Within 15 minutes, you get a newsletter draft from your latest episode — show notes, quotes, and call-to-action.

3

Customise voice

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with Spotify / Apple Podcasts / Overcast?

Yes. Any podcast with a public RSS feed works. Aldus supports Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Transistor, Anchor (Spotify), Squarespace Podcasts, and custom feeds.

How accurate is the transcription?

Aldus uses Whisper-level transcription (95%+ accuracy). You can review and correct before publishing. Most podcasters need only minor edits.

What if I have guests — do they need to approve?

We recommend a quick-review workflow: Aldus auto-drafts, you review, and you can optionally send a preview to guests before publish (one-click from Aldus).

Can I charge for premium episodes/newsletters?

Yes. Paid tiers work exactly like any paid newsletter. Free episodes + paid archive is a popular model that converts well.
