Your always-on indie broadcast network.
Run by agents, not on-call staff. Hollowcast scouts trending stories, drafts scripts, produces short-form audio and video, and schedules releases around the clock across podcasts, YouTube, Spotify and TikTok.
Solo creators, niche podcast networks, beauty & lifestyle communities — the brands that have outgrown creator basics but don’t need a full human staff.

How it works
Five agents. One programming grid. Zero 3 a.m. shifts.
Each stage is its own agent with its own guardrails — and every output lands back on a single dashboard so you can see what is scheduled, what shipped, and what needs you.
- Step 01Scout
Agents sweep trending stories across the open web, RSS feeds, and your niche sources every few minutes — and learn which beats your audience keeps coming back to.
- Step 02Draft
A writer-agent composes a script in your voice — short-form video, podcast segment, newsletter teaser — and flags anything that needs your sign-off before it goes out.
- Step 03Produce
Voice, music and visuals are generated against the script, layered with disclosure templates that meet current synthetic-media rules on every platform.
- Step 04Schedule
A scheduler-agent drops the finished cut into the right slot on each destination — YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, podcast RSS — against a 24/7 programming grid.
- Step 05Re-tune
Listener and viewer data rolls up into one dashboard. The agents re-slant the next day’s slate toward what is actually resonating, not what you hoped would.
Why Hollowcast
Closer to a Lightspeed for indie media than another editor.
Point tools cover a single slice. Hollowcast owns the whole control plane — and is priced like the studio it replaces.
Descript, Wondercraft and ElevenLabs each cover one slice. Hollowcast wires scout-to-publish into one control plane — closer in spirit to a Lightspeed for indie media than to another editor.
Solo operators, newsletter publishers and niche podcast networks ship a full programming schedule without paying a producer to be awake at 3am.
AI-labelling rules, disclosure templates and a compliance-first default setup keep indie brands ahead of the regulation curve around synthetic media.
End-to-end studio value, not feature-tier upsells. Leaves room above the $0–$50 point-tool tier for the multichannel brands that have outgrown creator basics.
Compliance, by default
Built for the next wave of synthetic-media scrutiny.
Indie brands are getting pulled into the same regulatory conversations as the majors. Hollowcast ships with disclosure templates, AI-labelling metadata and an audit trail your legal team can hand to a regulator without a scramble.

Do I own the scripts and the audio Hollowcast produces?
Yes. Every script, render and analytics export is yours to keep, archive, and take elsewhere. Hollowcast is the control plane, not a lock-in.
Is this safe to use under current AI-disclosure rules?
Compliance is the default, not an upsell. Every shipped episode gets AI-labelled metadata, platform-specific disclosure copy, and an audit trail your legal team can hand to a regulator.
How is this different from Descript or ElevenLabs?
Those are editing and synthesis tools. Hollowcast runs the whole pipeline — scouting, scripting, producing, scheduling and re-tuning — without you stitching four subscriptions together.
Can a solo creator really ship a 24/7 schedule this way?
That is the use case it was built for. Most of our solo-tier operators run a weekly podcast plus a daily short-form feed from a single Hollowcast workspace.
What about platforms that ban synthetic voice?
The scheduler-agent reads each destination’s current rules and routes accordingly — including skipping a platform, swapping in a human voice proxy, or attaching additional disclosure metadata.
