What is Castmagic?
Castmagic is an AI content tool that turns podcasts, videos and meeting audio into transcripts, show notes, clips and social posts for creators. Castmagic says it serves more than 100,000 podcasters and creators, with users including HubSpot, Yahoo Sports and Wistia.
Castmagic is built around repurposing: you upload a recording or link from 1,800+ sources such as YouTube or a podcast RSS feed, and it produces a speaker-labeled transcript plus dozens of assets, including show notes, blog posts, newsletters, LinkedIn posts, quotes and captioned vertical clips. Custom prompts and brand voice settings shape the output, and a Claude MCP lets you search your media library. Podcasters, marketing teams and agencies use it to get more content from each recording. Multi-brand workspaces with user permissions make it practical for agencies that manage content for several shows.
