Truth, Amplified.· Hear the Story. Trust the Source.· Real Reporting. Real Voices.· AI That Respects Journalism.· From Print, to Podcast.·

Local journalism is one of the last places where the truth still gets dug up by hand. We built Presscast because that work deserves a wider audience, not a watered-down version of it. Every episode we produce is grounded, line by line, in your reporters' own writing. No invented quotes. No fabricated facts. Just your newsroom's voice, amplified, so the stories that matter actually reach the people whose lives they're about.

§ No. 01 · How it Works

A newsroom-to-feed pipeline, in three deliberate steps.

01 Ingest

Connect your reporting.

Plug in your CMS, RSS feed, or paste URLs. We pull only what you've already published: bylines, datelines, quotes, sources, and all.

  • WordPress, Arc, Newspack
  • RSS & XML feeds
  • Manual story selection
02 Voice

AI hosts, grounded scripts.

Our system writes a host-led script using only your reporting, then performs it with AI voices indistinguishable from a top-tier daily news show.

  • Source-traceable script
  • Editor approval gate
  • Studio-grade mastering
03 Distribute

Publish & convert.

Auto-publish to Apple, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, and your own site, with subscriber CTAs woven into every episode and dynamic ad slots ready to monetize.

  • All major platforms
  • Subscriber-CTA inserts
  • Audiogram social cuts
§ Journalistic Rigor

No hallucinations. Ever.

The public deserves to know the truth. Presscast scripts can only say what your reporters have already published, and every line is traceable back to the original sentence in your story.

See the rigor in action
Safeguard 01

Source-traceable scripts

Every sentence is footnoted to a specific paragraph in your reporting. Editors can audit any line before it airs.

Safeguard 02

Editor approval gate

No episode publishes without your team's sign-off. The newsroom stays in command of the voice that goes out.

Safeguard 03

Real, custom voices

Studio-grade AI hosts modeled after top daily-news shows. You can also clone your own anchor for full brand fidelity.

Safeguard 04

Corrections, on the record

When a story is corrected in print, we re-issue the audio with a transparent on-air note, the way a serious newsroom would.

We won't publish anything your newsroom's reporting doesn't back up.

§ FAQ

Common questions, answered honestly.

Don't see yours here? Email hello@presscast.fm. A real person on our team will respond.

Will it sound like a real podcast? +

Yes. Presscast voices are studio-grade and indistinguishable from a top-tier daily news show. We tune cadence, breath, and pacing to match the editorial tone of The Daily, not robotic narration.

How do you guarantee no hallucinations? +

Scripts are constructed only from passages in your published reporting, with each line citation-linked. Our system rejects sentences that can't be traced back. Editors approve before any episode airs.

Who owns the audio & the show? +

You do. The podcast lives on your branded feed, in your name, and you keep all advertising and sponsorship rights.

How long until the first episode airs? +

Most newsrooms launch within 14 days. Stories you publish today can be on-feed within 24 hours of editor approval thereafter.

Can we use our own anchor's voice? +

Yes. On Enhanced and Dynamic plans, we can clone an existing anchor or reporter with their consent, so the voice on the show is unmistakably yours.
