What is Adobe Podcast?
Adobe Podcast is a browser-based set of AI audio tools from Adobe for recording, cleaning up and editing spoken audio. It is best known for Enhance Speech, which removes background noise and echo so a recording made in an ordinary room sounds closer to a studio. Podcasters, video creators, marketers and educators use it when they need clear voice audio without audio engineering skills.
Beyond Enhance Speech, Adobe Podcast includes Studio, a web recorder and editor that captures remote guests on separate tracks and lets you edit by changing the transcript. Mic Check analyzes your microphone setup before you record. There is also a royalty-free music library, captioning, audio-to-video conversion and import of multitrack Zoom or Restream recordings. A free tier covers short files, and Premium raises limits and adds video support.

Adobe Podcast vs Auphonic: what's the difference?

Auphonic is a post-production service that levels loudness, reduces noise, mixes multitrack files and meets loudness standards, with publishing integrations and an API. Many creators use Adobe Podcast for cleanup and Auphonic for final mastering and automation. Both tools run online, so neither requires installing desktop software.
Does Adobe Podcast host podcasts?
No. Adobe Podcast is for recording, enhancing and editing audio, not for hosting or distributing shows. After you export your episode, you upload it to a podcast host such as Buzzsprout, Captivate or Spotify for Creators, which creates the RSS feed and sends it to listening apps.
