The latest from our daily newsletter at podnews.net with CoHost's tracking links. It's everyone's nightmare, a podcast where everyone is talking over one another. It's one of the most irritating things for listeners and it makes life almost impossible for podcast editors. Well, AI can now help with that. Audioshake has launched a tool to separate overlapping voices. There's a demo that we link to today. The tool is already integrated into Wondercraft.

Her Money has partnered with Evergreen and Rhapsody Voices for sales and distribution, we can exclusively tell you today. The show is hosted by Jean Chatsky and marks an expansion of Evergreen's Business Podcasts channel. The show was previously with Airwave. Podcast production tool Alitu now records video. They say when you're done, you get an MP4 download with all participant videos neatly arranged in a grid, ready to upload straight to YouTube without any additional editing.

It's available to every customer with no additional cost. The real growth opportunity for branded podcasts is to tap into underserved markets, says Quill Podcasting's Tianna Marinucci. And there's a free webinar, by the way, about the power of branded podcasts tomorrow with JAR Audio and Sounds Profitable. Podcastle has added what it calls the world's largest library of AI voices.

Here's one of them: "Users can now choose from 500 lifelike AI voices and clone unlimited custom voices to create premium audio content at scale without an exorbitant price tag." The company is also adding a new version of its voice cloning tool, which gives reduced processing times and greater fidelity to the original voice. Your audio book reader might be AI in future. Spotify added audio books using AI voices by ElevenLabs at the end of last month.

The use of AI voices will be marked in the book metadata and the audio. And last week, Futuri Media launched FuturiBooks using broadcast quality AI voices tuned to perform. Where's the best place to record an Apple Podcasts chart-topping show? Well, how about at the Apple Store? Mammamia Out Loud will be celebrating 10 years of shows with a live recording in the store at George Street in Sydney on March the 28th.

Plink, a method of making smart podcast links, stopped working for paid members in early February. By March the 5th, the problem was partially fixed. The company currently suggests that episode links may still be intermittent for those users. Descript will demonstrate new features later today in a webinar. And in India, the Podmasters 2025 Podcast Awards has extended its early bird deadline to March the 17th.

And in podcast news

for Canadians, their best friend may become their enemy. Elbows Up is new today, a show that examines what Canadians and Canada can do to make sure they stay strong and free forever. It's an independent show cooked up quickly because, well, you know. Today's first episode is all about how Canada should probably revive its Civil Defence Corps. It's hosted by Jordan Heath-Rawlings and produced by Laura Palmer.

Divine Intervention, new today from the Wonder Media Network, follows a ragtag band of radical nuns in combat boots, wild-haired priests and wild-haired priests and their madcap friends who swiftly become accomplished cat burglars in a hell-bent effort to sabotage the Vietnam War. Where Politics Meets History is new from Global with Iain Dale and Tessa Dunlop. The show replaces For the Many and will explore today's UK political landscape with parallels from the past.

And starting a new season today, Disrupting Peace explores why peace hasn't worked and how it still could. In each episode, Bridget Connolly, Research Director at the World Peace Foundation, speaks with a researcher specialising in one obstacle to peace and an activist who's changing systems from the ground up. Together they explore what works, what didn't and why we shouldn't give up. And this podcast is sponsored by Co-Host.
