Streamlining Your Podcasting Workflow: Connecting Descript and Squadcast

If you’re not familiar, Descript is an amazing AI-powered podcast editing tool that now acquired Squadcast. So you can now record your podcast episodes not in Zoom, but in Squadcast which immediately imports your recordings into Descripti for streamlined editing. 

So, in today's blog post, we're diving into the powerful combination of Descript and Squadcast, two essential tools for podcasters and content creators. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster or just starting, integrating these tools can significantly enhance your recording and editing experience.

What is Squadcast?

Squadcast is a fantastic tool designed for conducting interviews with people worldwide (not just podcast interviews!). It ensures high-quality audio recording, regardless of your guest's location. Unlike Zoom which records all audio as one audio file, Squadcast allows you to record each speaker’s audio separately which improves the quality and editing capabilities. 

What is Descript?

Descript, on the other hand, is an AI-powered editing tool that simplifies the editing process. It allows you to edit audio like you would edit text, making the post-production phase of your podcasting journey smoother.

The latest buzz is that Descript has acquired Squadcast, making the integration even more seamless. Now, with just one Descript account, you get access to both Descript and Squadcast without any additional cost – a two-in-one deal that enhances both your interviewing and editing capabilities.
