Hello Studios Launches Hello Engine, a Free End-to-End Podcast Platform Built for First-Time and Growing Podcasters

Hello Studios, the DFW-based media and podcast production company behind more than 1,000 shows, today announced the public launch of Hello Engine, a first-of-its-kind podcasting platform that guides creators from their very first episode idea all the way to publishing on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. It is also free to start.

Unlike recording tools, editing software, or standalone AI writing apps, Hello Engine is the only platform designed to run an entire show. From concept and gear selection through recording prep, content distribution, social promotion, and performance analysis. The platform addresses one of podcasting’s most difficult challenges: an estimated 30 to 60 percent of new podcasts go quiet within their first year, not because podcasting is difficult, but because staying organized is.

“Podcasting isn’t hard. Staying organized is. We built Hello Engine because every tool in the market does one thing — record, edit, host. None of them run the show. Hello Engine exists to make sure yours never goes quiet.”

— Hello Studios Founding Team

How Hello Engine Works

Hello Engine is built around two phases: Launch and Grow.

Launch (Free): A free 20-question AI consultation turns any idea into a fully defined show. Locking in niche, format, audience, publishing cadence, and show name. Hello Engine then recommends the right gear for any budget, walks creators through hosting and RSS feed setup, and provides step-by-step submission guidance for both Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Grow ($29/month): Once live, Hello Engine handles the ongoing work of running a show. The platform’s six-module Grow suite covers episode planning, recording prep with AI-generated guest research and interview outlines, transcript-to-content distribution (show notes, YouTube chapters, SEO keywords), full social promotion packages, cadence health tracking, and post-publish episode analysis.

Key Platform Features

• AI Consultation: Turns a podcast idea into a fully built show concept with no guesswork
• Guest Research & Briefing: Add a guest’s bio and handles; Hello Engine writes tailored questions, a host briefing doc, and a full episode outline — downloadable as a Word file before recording
• One Transcript, a Full Week of Content: Upload a transcript and receive SEO-ready show notes, three title options, YouTube chapters with timestamps, Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn/X release posts, a newsletter, five pull quotes, an X thread, a guest promo email, and a YouTube Shorts script
• Cadence Health Tracking: Monitors publishing streaks and nudges podcasters before they fall behind
• AI-Findable Episode Pages: Every published episode automatically receives a clean, structured public page built for how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI search tools read and cite content
• Episode Analysis: A post-publish scorecard highlights what landed, what to improve, and what topics to cover next — based on the show’s full history
