How Reading Backlog Works

From a pile of saved links to podcast episodes you actually finish — in four steps and under two minutes each.

1

Paste a URL or Drop Your Article / PDF

Copy a link from Pocket, Instapaper, or your browser — or drag in the PDF sitting in your downloads folder. Podcastify fetches and extracts the full content automatically.

2

AI Turns It Into a Two-Host Episode

Our AI transforms the article or document into a lively two-host conversation: one host explains, the other asks the questions you'd ask yourself. Dense content becomes genuinely listenable audio.

3

Tune Depth & Edit Before Listening

Choose how detailed the episode goes, trim sections you already know, or add emphasis to the parts that matter most — all before hitting generate.

4

Listen and Clear the Backlog — On the Go

Download the MP3 and play it on your commute, walk, or workout. That saved article finally gets absorbed, and the mental debt of 'I'll read that later' disappears.

“Repurposing every blog post into a podcast episode used to be a pipe dream. Now it's automated and our audio listens already match newsletter opens.”

Reading Backlog — FAQ

Common questions from people turning their saved articles and PDFs into podcast episodes.

Anything you'd save to a read-it-later app: web articles, newsletter issues, blog posts, PDFs, research papers, and documentation pages. Paste a URL or upload the file directly — Podcastify handles the rest.

Yes. You can generate multiple episodes back-to-back. Each one is ready in under two minutes, so you can queue up a week's worth of saved reads and start clearing them the same day.

Quite a bit. You can adjust the depth of coverage (concise summary vs. deep dive), edit the transcript to highlight what matters, and choose from different voice pairs. The episode is yours to shape before any audio is generated.

A 2,000–3,000 word article typically produces a 5–8 minute episode. The AI distils the key arguments and insights rather than reading every word, so you get the substance without the time sink.

Absolutely. Every episode exports as a standard MP3 you can add to any podcast app or audio player. Speed it up, replay tricky sections, or listen offline on a plane — it works like any podcast you already listen to.

Yes — you own everything you create on Podcastify. The audio and transcript are yours to keep, share, or embed wherever you like. Subscribe for $9.95/month and start clearing your backlog today — no mic or recording equipment needed, cancel anytime.
