In this live session, I walk through how to automate your podcast workflow with Pod Home—from simple no‑code triggers to advanced AI agents. I demo our Zapier integration for hands‑off social posting when an episode publishes, highlight our public API for power users, and show brand‑new MCP support so assistants like Claude and Copilot can create, edit, and publish episodes on your behalf. We also cover practical safety tips like resetting API keys, and I give a quick, live example of asking Claude to upload and publish an episode end‑to‑end. Thorsten from the Null Signal Bitcoin Podcast joins to demo his open‑source “podcast manager” built on the Pod Home API: release‑boosting with Lightning donations, syncing episodes and transcripts, LLM‑powered prompts for social posts, YouTube auto‑uploads, and analytics that combine downloads with boosts. We finish with Q&A on live podcasting (audio vs. HLS video), current Zapier/Make capabilities and limitations, and how Pod Home AI plus MCP lets you talk to your stack to get work done. If you’re new, there’s a limited‑time code for extended trials to kick the tires and start automating.In this live session, I walk through the newest automation options in Podhome and how real creators are using them to streamline production. We cover simple no‑code workflows with Zapier (e.g., posting to social automatically when an episode goes live), then dig into our public API for advanced use cases like auto‑syncing episodes, analytics, transcripts, chapters, and people. Thorsten from the Nodesignal Bitcoin Podcast demos his custom, open‑source “podcast manager” that layers on Podhome’s API to handle release boosting with Lightning donations, transcript‑driven social posts via LLM prompts, YouTube uploads, wallet analytics, and more for a distributed team.We also preview our new MCP connector so you can operate Podhome directly from AI assistants like Claude or Microsoft Copilot—asking for stats, creating drafts, uploading audio, and publishing by voice or chat. I close by showing a live example: using Claude to upload an audio file, create a draft in Podhome, and publish it—end‑to‑end—plus ideas for generating show notes and social captions from transcripts. If you want to automate your podcast from “record” to “promote,” this walkthrough is for you.'Podhome on Zapier':
