For podcasters, YouTubers and creators

Podcast Virtual Assistant Services for Creators and Podcasters

Recording a podcast is one thing. Scheduling guests and preparing show notes is another. A podcast virtual assistant can help with these everyday tasks, using AI to draft transcripts, show notes and replies, so you have more time for your episodes and the content you want to create.

The problem

Making the show is only half the job

Recording is only a part of running a podcast. You still have to prepare show notes, schedule episodes and follow up with guests. On their own they seem small, but they tend to add up quickly when you're doing everything yourself.

  • Show notes, episode descriptions and publishing take time after every recording.
  • Guest bookings and follow-up emails can pile up between episodes.
  • Comments and DMs are easy to miss when you're busy creating new content.
  • There isn't always room in the budget to bring on another full-time employee.

How it works

What your assistant does around each episode

A podcast virtual assistant can help with the work that happens before and after you go live with an episode. From organising schedules to preparing descriptions, you can get help with the routine tasks that keep you busy.

Episode scheduling and publishing

Helps organise your release calendar, prepares uploads and schedules episodes on the platforms you already use.

AI-drafted show notes

AI turns the recording into a transcript and drafts summaries, timestamps and links. Your assistant edits them so listeners can easily find what they need.

AI-drafted community replies

AI helps prepare drafts for common comments and messages. Your assistant reviews them and makes sure the replies suit your audience and tone.

Getting started

Up and running within a week

Tell us how you work, which tools you use and which jobs you want help with first. Your podcast virtual assistant learns the setup and starts taking on the work.

1

Tell us about your show

Share how you work, the tools you already use, and the tasks you want off your plate first.

2

Meet your assistant

We match you with an assistant based on the kind of work your podcast needs, usually within one business day.

3

Start small

We get familiar with your tools and the way you like things done. Then you can start handing off more of the work.

4

Change your hours when you need to

You can add more support when things get busy and adjust it again when things settle down.

What your podcast assistant can handle

Guest booking and scheduling

We coordinate guest calendars and send confirmations and prep notes, so you're ready to record.

Editing coordination and file handoff

We keep track of recording files, share them with your editor and follow up on pending edits.

Show notes and episode descriptions

We prepare episode summaries, timestamps, useful links and descriptions for each release.

Publishing and distribution

We upload episodes across podcast platforms and schedule the releases.

Community and comment management

We respond to comments, DMs and listener questions, so you don't have to.

Analytics and sponsor reporting

We compile download stats and performance data for your sponsor updates.

Your tools

We work in the tools you already use

You don't need to change the way you work. Your assistant works inside the production, publishing and outreach tools you already use to run your show.

Editing and hosting

Descript, Buzzsprout, Riverside, or your existing production stack.

Scheduling

Calendly, or however you currently book guests.

Sponsor and guest CRM

A spreadsheet, Airtable, or your existing outreach tracker.

Social Scheduling

Later, Buffer, or your platform of choice for clips and posts.

Who it's for

Support that fits how your show runs

Not every podcast production works the same way. Maybe your biggest headache is replying to listeners. Start with the part that's taking up too much of your day.

Solo podcasters and creators

You're recording, editing and publishing all by yourself, and the workload gets too much.

An assistant handles publishing and show notes, so episodes go out consistently even during a busy week.

Multi-show networks

Different release dates, guests and publishing requirements get harder to manage as the number of shows grows.

A shared assistant keeps every show's schedule, notes and publishing on track.

Creators with sponsorship deals

Brand partnerships come with emails, deadlines, agreed deliverables and reporting to keep track of.

Your assistant coordinates sponsors and tracks deadlines, so partnerships don't fall behind.

What changes

What's different once you've handed it over

The work doesn't disappear. You just don't have to keep remembering all of it yourself.

Week one

Begin with the tasks you want help with most, such as guest follow-ups, show notes or organising your publishing calendar.

First month

Once the process is clear, your assistant can help keep recurring tasks organised and remind you about upcoming deadlines and pending work.

After that

Over time, everyday admin becomes more manageable. You still make the important decisions and lead the work; there's just less routine work on your plate.

“I have been working with my assistant at GetFriday and her team for a few months now. This new collaboration has already proven to be very fruitful, and has tremendously enhanced my productivity as an entrepreneur in the field of music. GetFriday has indeed helped me connect with many music professionals (such as venue bookers/club owners, and writers/reviewers) and organize the music industry related data I use on a daily basis. I recommend using their services to anyone looking for help efficiently completing their professional and personal tasks alike.”

Mostly the admin that sits around your content. Research, your content calendar, guest coordination, publishing schedules, filing and organizing, routine follow-ups. How much we can take depends on availability. Either way, your workflow stays organized and you get more time to create and connect with your audience.

Content research, guest coordination, calendar management, publishing schedules, file organization and routine admin. Depending on the assistant’s skills and what we offer, it can stretch to coordinating edits and social media admin. We’ll set the scope around how you actually work.

We might be able to. Podcast research, digging into topics, seeing what similar shows do, researching guests, organizing content ideas. We can turn it into briefs, summaries or planning docs to help you prep episodes. Just check key facts and sources before anything goes out.

Yes. We can hunt for potential guests, send invitations, line up recording schedules, send reminders and keep guest details in one place. A lot of the back-and-forth in planning episodes disappears. Agree ahead of time on the tasks and on who handles which communication.

Maybe. Publishing calendars, episode details, upload information, approved updates and tracking your publishing schedule are all things we may be able to handle. Before onboarding, confirm that we support your podcast platforms, and check whether creative production or social media management is part of what you need.

Possibly, depending on skills and tools. We can organize episode information, draft show notes from your recordings or transcripts, keep publishing schedules and coordinate uploads you’ve approved. Before you publish, double-check episode details, guest names, links and timestamps. First we’ll confirm whether we can support your particular workflow.

By taking the recurring jobs off you: research, content calendar, file organization, publishing coordination, admin follow-ups. With those handled, you spend more time creating, engaging your audience and growing your platform, and less on day-to-day operations.
