Automated News Podcasts Your Audience Subscribes To
Your readers are switching to audio. A growing segment wants to hear the news during their commute, not read it at their desk. ZenMic turns any news article, briefing, or newsletter into a professional podcast episode your audience can subscribe to, automatically.
The Complete Audio News Pipeline
Modernise your media distribution without expanding your newsroom.
Article to Audio in Minutes
Paste any news article or briefing into ZenMic and it produces professional two-host audio suitable for publishing. The AI reformats the content into conversational audio — removing tables, stripping bylines, adding natural transitions between stories.
Automated Daily Briefings
Use ZenMic's API to wire your CMS directly to your podcast pipeline. Publish a new article; get a new audio episode. Build a fully automated daily news briefing for your niche audience without a production team.
Real Podcast Distribution
Your audio isn't trapped behind a paywall widget. ZenMic creates a true RSS feed that syncs to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and every major podcatcher. Your subscribers get your episodes like any other show they follow.
Niche News That Reaches a Podcast Audience
The overlap between podcast listeners and niche news readers is enormous and largely untapped. Your legal tech newsletter readers, your fintech briefing subscribers, your trade publication audience — most of them also listen to podcasts. Give them your content in the format they prefer.
Multilingual News Audio
Serve regional audiences or international subscribers in their native language. ZenMic handles English, Hindi, Arabic, French, Spanish, and more. One piece of reporting, multiple language editions — without a separate recording for each.
Repurpose Your Archive Instantly
Every article you've ever published is a potential podcast episode. Convert your back-catalogue into audio to give new listeners a full episode library from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create an automated daily news podcast with ZenMic?
Using ZenMic's API, you can connect your CMS directly to our podcast pipeline. Whenever a new article is published, ZenMic can automatically reformat it into a podcast script, generate the audio, and push it to your RSS feed daily.
Can I give my newsletter subscribers a podcast version to listen to?
Yes. Many newsletter journalists paste their daily or weekly briefs into ZenMic to generate a companion podcast episode, giving subscribers the choice to read or listen on the go.
Does ZenMic work with any content management system?
Yes, ZenMic offers a flexible REST API that can integrate with virtually any CMS, allowing you to build an automated news-to-audio workflow.
How is ZenMic different from a news text-to-speech widget?
Unlike standard TTS widgets that rigidly read text verbatim (including bylines and formatting), ZenMic reformats the content into a conversational two-host briefing, adding natural transitions and stripping out elements that don't translate well to audio.
Can I monetize a ZenMic-powered news podcast on Spotify?
Yes. Since ZenMic provides you with a true RSS feed, you own the distribution. You can monetize your podcast via sponsorships or platform-specific monetization tools just like any other podcast.
