How do I create a podcast with Atomatic?

Basics

Creating a custom podcast - Atomcasts, for short - in Atomatic is easy! In the Creator bar at the top of the page, simply type a question or topic that you're interested in and click the Create button. For example, type "who would win in a fight between the greek gods".

Note: You don't need to worry about capitalization or punctuation when entering a topic.

The best topics are phrases that would make good subjects for a short news article or a discussion with your friends. For example, "sports" isn't a great topic; "which teams are favored to win the NBA championship" is better. Years are also helpful for topics that might be time-sensitive. For example, "which teams are favored to win the 2024 NBA championship" is better than "which teams are favored to win the NBA championship".

After you click Create, you'll see a status panel. The status panel will confirm that your Atomcast is queued and display your remaining credits. Atomcasts usually take 3 to 4 minutes to generate. You'll receive a notification when your Atomcast is ready.

You can add up to 3 topics to each Atomcast. To add more topics, click the + icon next to the Create button. Any topic you've entered in the main topic area will also be included in your Atomcast, so to add two topics: enter the first topic, click +, enter the second topic, and click Create. You can remove a topic you previously added by clicking the X button to the right of the topic.
