Step-by-step guide

How to Use News Recap Podcast Generator

Start for free — no credit card, no software to install.

  1. Paste your summaries

    Your own write-ups of the week's stories, in the order you want them read. The hosts discuss what is there and nothing else.
  2. Cast two anchors

    Two clearly different voices, because the handoff between them is what separates one story from the next.
  3. Set the pace

    Recaps work brisk. Steer both anchors towards a tighter read than a discussion episode would use.
  4. Publish weekly

    Export MP3 plus captions, and keep the same cast so the show sounds the same next week.

Features & Capabilities

Everything you need to create professional voiceovers — in one tool.

  • Stays inside your text

    When you paste summaries the hosts work from those, so the recap does not acquire facts you did not write.
  • Handoffs between items

    Alternating anchors give a recap its structure without needing music stings between stories.
  • Repeatable every week

    Same cast, same pace, same level — the consistency a regular news show depends on.
  • Captions for the show notes

    Word-timed SRT gives you a transcript and per-story timestamps with no extra work.

About this tool

Everything you need to know about News Recap Podcast Generator

Turn the week's stories into a recap episode read by two anchors who hand off between items. The handoff is what makes a recap listenable: one voice sets up a story, the other adds the consequence, and the change of speaker marks where one item ends and the next begins better than any stinger. Paste your own summaries and the hosts stay inside them, so nothing is added that your sources did not say. Exports as MP3 with captions.

FAQ

News Recap Podcast Generator — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

Does it go and find the news?

No. It works from the summaries you paste, which is deliberate — a recap that sourced its own facts would be a recap you could not stand behind.

How many stories fit in one episode?

As many as your script covers. Most recap formats run five to ten items before listeners start to drift.

Can I use one anchor instead of two?

Yes, though the handoff between two voices is what marks the boundaries between items in a list-shaped episode.

Can I produce it daily?

Yes — generation takes minutes, so a daily edition is a scheduling question rather than a production one.

Can I use the audio commercially?

Yes. All VocalLab audio includes full commercial rights — monetized videos, ads, client work, all covered. No attribution needed.
