Quick answer: PodControl is a podcast clipping tool built for the whole archive, not one episode at a time. Connect your RSS feed, Google Drive or YouTube channel once; the engine works through the episodes you already published, up to the archive hours in your plan, cuts clips that stand on their own, writes the captions, and publishes on your schedule to LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. One payment from $7 at launch, charged per finished clip, with rejected clips refunded.
You spent three years recording episodes nobody hears anymore. Every clipping tool you look at
wants one episode at a time: upload the file, paste the link, pick the highlights, export. It
works. Then you do it again for the next episode. Your back catalogue never enters the picture.

The per-episode treadmill
This is how the whole category works today. Riverside, OpusClip, Kapwing, Choppity, Vmaker and
the rest all run the same loop: one episode in, clips out, per run. Some of them are good at it,
and on our comparison pages we say so. For a creator with five videos, the loop is fine.
A podcaster does not have five videos. A podcaster has a show. If you publish weekly, three
years in you are sitting on roughly 150 episodes. Run each one through a per-episode tool at
twenty minutes of review per pass and the backlog costs you about 50 hours before you have
posted a single day of new content. Most shows do the math and quietly post nothing.
What changes when the archive is connected once
PodControl runs the other direction. You connect the archive one time: point us at your RSS
feed, your Google Drive, or your YouTube channel. Every episode inside your plan’s archive becomes
available in one place. The engine reads the back catalogue, finds the moments that stand on
their own, and turns each one into a clip with a caption written for it.
Then it keeps working. Approve the clips you like and they go out on schedule, on the networks
you connected. Reject the ones you do not and the credit comes back. A show that was posting
twice a week, on willpower, is suddenly covered every day, from material it already paid for.
Where your clips go
Publishing today: LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky and Nostr. TikTok is in
review with TikTok, and Pinterest needs a still image on every post. We only list a network
when it is connected and publishing, so this list moves only when the connection is real.
What it costs
One payment, not a subscription. Starter is $7 for 35 clips a month on 1 channel with 20 hours of archive. Engine is $9 for 60 clips a month on 3 channels with 50 hours. Amplify is $297 for 150 clips a month on 8 channels with 150 hours. You are charged by the finished clip, not the minute of
footage, and credits never expire: a clip you reject refunds its credit. First Clip Promise
and a 90-day refund at every stage.
When PodControl is not the right fit
- You want to hand-edit every clip on a timeline. PodControl is approve and reject, with
captions written for each clip, not an editor. If editing is the job you enjoy, a per-episode
editor is the better tool and the comparison pages will tell you which. - You need TikTok on day one. TikTok publishing is in review. If that network is the whole
point, wait for it to flip, and check this page, because we will not list it until it is live. - Your show is audio-only. Audio-only feeds come back as captioned audiograms, not vertical
video; video shows get captioned vertical clips. If audiograms are not the format you want
on social, that is the expectation to set before you buy.
The First Clip Promise
If your first episode does not come back as clip posts you would actually publish, we get on a
call with you and personally help you get there. You keep every clip either way. Full refund
within 90 days, no questions, no conditions.
