I
A library of your own
Conversation by conversation, your work becomes a row of books. A personal library of the talks that mattered, on a shelf in your studio or at home.
For makers of podcasts and radio documentaries
We make books of conversations worth keeping.
PodBookPro turns a podcast episode or a radio documentary into a beautifully made hardcover book. Written to be read, designed to be kept.
For podcast makers
Your conversations deserve a shelf.
An episode is heard once and then moves down the feed. A book stays. Everything that was said is there, retold so that it reads like a story, with the people at the table as its characters.
II
A gift for your guest
Someone gave you their time and their story. A book of that conversation is a gift only you can give, and one that will be kept.
You make your episode available, we do the rest. A book can be made from a single copy, and all rights remain yours.
For documentary makers
Radio documentaries, preserved in print.
A radio documentary takes months to make and an hour to broadcast. As a book it stays: the full story, faithful to what was aired, with room for the world it came from and the people who appear in it.
