Video Podcasts

You don’t need a studio, a producer, or even a laptop.

If you’ve got one iPhone and the Detail app, you’ve got everything you need to record, edit, and publish a full podcast episode — solo or with a guest.

Perfect for beginners who want to start fast and skip the tech overwhelm.

Beginner podcast setup in 3 simple essentials

Your iPhone + the Detail app
Record and edit everything in one place — no extra software or file transfers.

A tripod
Any stable phone tripod will work. (We like the $20 SmallRig.)

A microphone
Great audio makes a huge difference. Try a wireless mic set like the $100 Hollyland Lark — it comes with two mics, perfect for hosting a guest.

Record anywhere, anytime

Podcasting with Detail is 100% mobile. Set up your iPhone, launch the app, and start recording wherever you are — your home, a cozy café, or even outdoors.

Use natural light or a basic softbox if needed. That’s it.

Edit in minutes — right on your phone

Once you’ve recorded your episode, here’s what you can do inside Detail:

🎬 Choose your aspect ratio (landscape for YouTube, portrait for socials)
🤖 Use AI Auto-Edit to frame speakers, create chapters, and generate captions
🎤 Split screen or speaker switch layouts — automatic, smooth transitions
🧘‍♀️ One-tap silence removal — cut the dead air instantly
💬 Add captions — with multiple fonts and color styles
📱 Generate short clips — perfect for TikTok and Instagram
✍️ AI content creation — get auto-generated titles, hashtags, and captions for social media

You’re done – upload and share

That’s your podcast — recorded, edited, and ready to go.
No editing software. No overwhelm. Just stories worth sharing.

If the tech has been holding you back, Detail makes it easy:

🎧 You talk.
🎥 Your iPhone records.
🛠️ Detail handles the rest.
