Not a hosting platform. Not an editing tool. Not another analytics dashboard.
Most podcast teams are guessing — not deciding
Most podcast analytics tools tell you what happened.They don’t tell you:Why an episode workedWhat specifically lost momentumWhether the format is improving or degradingWhat to change before the next episode goes liveAs a result, editorial decisions stay subjective, reactive, and hard to scale.
PodCritic turns episodes into editorial insight
PodCritic applies structured editorial judgment to podcast episodes — analysing structure, pacing, clarity, tone, and narrative focus.It’s not analytics.
It’s not transcription.Think: “What would an experienced executive producer say after listening?”
How PodCritic Works
1. Select an episode
PodCritic reviews a real episode — no templates, no surveys, no setup overhead.
2. Receive an editorial judgment
A structured review covering what worked, what didn’t, and where momentum was lost — grounded in the episode itself.
3. Apply clear direction
Use concrete recommendations to shape the next episode, adjust formats, or spot patterns across shows.
What you get back from a PodCritic review
Editorial Verdict
A decisive summary of the episode’s quality and focus — what worked, what didn’t, and the single biggest issue holding it back.Output: A clear judgment call, not a neutral recap.
Evidence & Moments
The specific moments in the episode that justify the verdict — where momentum is gained, lost, or wasted.Output: Concrete references to segments and moments (grounded, not vibes).
Editorial Recommendations
Clear, coaching-style guidance on what to change in the next episode — based on the moments that actually mattered in this one.Output: Specific, prioritised recommendations written as direct actions, not generic advice.
Portfolio Patterns (shown when multiple episodes or shows exist)
Recurring editorial signals across episodes or shows — format strengths, pacing issues, or structural habits that compound over time.Output: A pattern you can fix once and improve multiple episodes.
Network-Level Insights (Enterprise only)
High-level editorial trends across formats, talent, and categories — revealing what consistently works at network scale.Output: Strategic signals for content direction, talent development, and long-term planning.
This isn’t analytics or AI commentary.It’s structured editorial judgment — applied consistently at scale.
