Choose Which Podcast Emails Reach You

You can now choose which messages sent to your Jellypod podcast privacy addresses get forwarded to you.

Receive sponsorship inquiries and listener feedback without putting your personal email address in your RSS feed. In Settings > Notifications, five controls cover business opportunities, performance and platform updates, collaborations and listener messages, marketing and promotions, and other messages. Your choices apply to every podcast in your workspace, including ones you create later.

Marketing and other messages start off. You can allow or block all optional categories with one button. Verification emails remain enabled, and spam, phishing, and malware protections stay on. Forwarding requires an active subscription.

We've also clarified our help guides so it's easier to find these settings and understand how your privacy address works when connecting to podcast platforms. See notification preferences, distribution verification emails, and your RSS feed.

SCORM Exports for Podcasts and Videos

You can now export Jellypod podcasts and videos as SCORM packages for your learning management system.

Turn an onboarding guide into a podcast or training video, then upload the SCORM ZIP to your LMS. Learners can pick up where they left off, and your LMS records completion based on how much they watch or listen.

Choose SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 4th Edition, set a completion threshold, and optionally prevent skipping ahead. Packages include captions, a transcript, and your workspace logo when available.

SCORM exports are included with Business and Enterprise. Open Download in the episode or video editor and choose Download as SCORM. Explore SCORM export for audio and video training, or see Export to your LMS with SCORM for the walkthrough.

Accented English Voices

The Voice Library now has 40 voices that read English with an accent: French, French Canadian, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean, two women and two men per accent.

Cast a French chef, a German professor, or a Japanese narrator for an English show, no need to switch the episode out of English.

Open Voices in Studio and browse English accents to find them, each labeled "English (French)," "English (German)," and so on. See the Voice Library guide for how to search, preview, and favorite voices.

Improved Pronunciations: IPA Support

You can now add IPA pronunciations to the Pronunciation Guide, giving your AI hosts a more precise way to say names and technical terms.

If a name in your lesson or a term in your medical update sounds off, enter it using a familiar spelling, such as "keen-wah" for quinoa, or use IPA if you know it. Jellypod fills in the other form and uses the one your host's voice can read. Preview the result in that voice before generating the episode.

If the phonetic spelling sounds better, turn off "Generate IPA for improved performance" on the rule and save to have every voice use that spelling.

Open Pronunciations in the Studio sidebar, or add a rule while editing an episode script. See the Pronunciation Guide for the full walkthrough.

Content Calendar

The new Content Calendar gives you one place to see when your content went live and what's coming up next. It brings published episodes, scheduled episodes, and upcoming runs from your recurring automations onto the same timeline.

If you manage several shows, you can scan the month to spot a quiet week, then switch to List view for the details. Filter to episodes, published or scheduled releases, or automations when you need to focus. Select a day to see its items, or edit a scheduled episode's release time from its row.

Open Content Calendar in the Studio sidebar. See Using the Content Calendar for a walkthrough.

3,300+ Voices in 121 Languages

Jellypod's expanded Voice Library now offers more than 3,300 voices across 121 languages.

A gouache microphone sends sound waves toward landmarks around the world, representing Jellypod's expanded voice library.

Looking for a voice that sounds right to listeners in Quebec, Liverpool, or Cairo? Filter by language and accent, then play a preview before casting your host. Your existing hosts keep their selected voices, so the library update does not change the sound of a show you already make.

Open Voices in Studio to browse. The Voice Library guide explains how to search, preview, and favorite voices.

Unarchive a Character

Archived characters can now be restored. Set Status to Archived or All on the Characters page and select Unarchive Character, or use the same button on the character's details page.

The character returns to Active and becomes available for editing and new character selections again, with their existing voice, scripts, media, and podcast assignments untouched.

Unarchiving needs an available character slot on your plan and a voice still attached to the character. A small number of legacy archived characters have no voice attached and can't be restored.

See Managing Characters for the full walkthrough.

Audio Pricing: Now 50% Cheaper

Narration now costs 30 credits per minute of audio, down from 60. Your plan's monthly credits did not change, so each one buys twice as much finished audio.

A 10-minute episode used to cost 600 credits. It now costs 300. Starter's 5,000 monthly credits buy about 166 minutes of audio instead of 83, Creator's 11,000 buy 366 instead of 183, and Business's 30,000 buy 1,000 instead of 500.

The rate is live for everything you generate from here: Podcast Episodes, shorts, videos, voiceovers, and anything you generate through the API or the MCP connector. There is nothing to switch on.

What did not change

Images still cost 7 credits each and video clips 20, so a 30 second short with 7 shots now lands between 64 and 155 credits, down from 79 to 170.

Everything that was free stays free: drafting and rewriting scripts, auditioning voices, regenerating narration you already have, rendering, publishing, scheduling, and downloading. Credits are spent only when Jellypod generates something new, and unused monthly credits still roll over for one additional month.

We could cut the rate because speech synthesis got cheaper. The newer models we are adding to the voice catalog cost us less per minute of audio than the ones we set the original rate against, so we put the difference into the price.

For the full breakdown of what costs what, see Understanding Credits.

Episode Series

You can now plan and generate a connected series of episodes in your existing podcast.

Turn a course reading list into a study series, or break an onboarding guide into episodes your team can listen to between meetings. Describe what you want to cover and add your sources. Jellypod builds an ordered episode plan with a distinct focus for each episode.

Review the plan before generating. Edit an episode's prompt, adjust its duration, or remove it from the series. When you're happy with the outline, create the episodes together using your selected hosts.

Open your podcast and choose Generate a Multi-Episode Series below the Create New Episode input. See Generating Multiple Episodes at Once for the walkthrough.

Archive Podcasts, Plus Status and Sort Filters

You can now archive a podcast you're pausing or no longer actively producing, without unpublishing anything. Open a podcast's actions menu and select Archive Podcast. Its website, RSS feed, and existing episodes keep working exactly as before; archiving only clears it from your everyday view in the Studio.

An archived podcast drops out of your active Podcasts list, the podcast picker when creating a new episode, and the picker for a new automation. Automations already running against it keep going. Unarchive anytime from the actions menu, or from the notice that replaces the episode composer on an archived podcast's page, to bring it right back.

To find an archived podcast again, or just get a better view of a growing list, the Podcasts page has a new filter icon next to Create New Podcast. Status switches between Active (the default), Archived, and All. Sort by switches between Episode Count (the default), Recent episodes, and Alphabetical.

See Archiving a Podcast for the full walkthrough.
