Really excited to share this one with the community! At Castos we obsess about creating best-in-class tools for podcasters. From our hosting platform, to our free Seriously Simple Podcasting WordPress plugin, to the variety of ways we offer content repurposing for our customers like transcription, audiograms, and YouTube republishing. But we’ve noticed that one of the biggest roadblocks to new podcasters is in creating eye-catching imagery for their shows. And these are some of the most important parts of a podcast brand, especially to potential new listeners. We created Dynamo as a way to help both new and veteran podcasters to better create great-looking cover images and quote cards for their podcast so they can craft on-brand imagery without having to know how to use Photoshop or even Canva. Dynamo creates both podcast cover images and episode quote cards. All entirely for free. We have a lot of plans for it in the future, including automated quotes based on transcript topical analysis, and direct integrations to post on Twitter and Instagram. Imagine a world where your podcast is transcribed as soon as you hit Publish (already a reality at Castos), an analysis is done on it to determine the episode's context, quote cards are automatically generated from the transcript, and scheduled to post automagically to Twitter and Instagram. Oh, and based on the topical analysis of the transcript, we’d create an individualized episode cover image using Dall-e. A huge shoutout to @francoisbrill for bringing this to life, and to @mattmedeiros for the ideas behind the product. Hope you enjoy creating some awesome images for your podcast with Dynamo, by Castos!
