A 20-minute show about anything, with your music in between.

Yes, both. The links are on this page.

Yes. An email address and a password, and you have to be 18 or over. That is all we ask. Someone you send a show to does not need one; the link plays in their browser. You also have to confirm your email address from the message we send; until then you can listen to the free stories but not make a show.

Podoyo is free to start: 60 talk minutes a month (15 premium voice, 45 standard voice), shows up to 20 minutes, 2 shows a day, with ads. Premium is $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year (€7.99 / €79.99) and gives 200 minutes a month, all premium voice, shows up to 60 minutes, 6 shows a day and no ads. Minute packs from $1.99 add minutes that never expire. The app shows the current numbers.

The part of a show where the hosts are talking. Making a show uses talk minutes from your monthly allowance; the music in the breaks does not. The app shows how many you have left, and the number resets each month.

Yes. Under the account icon, Invite a friend gives you a code. When someone joins with it and goes Premium, you both get free Premium days; the app shows how many.

They are made by AI from web sources found at the moment the show is made. Where there are sources, the show lists them; some segments come from the model’s own knowledge. AI can be wrong or out of date either way. Do not rely on a show for news, money, health, legal or safety decisions.

It happens. The show is written by AI from whatever it found on the web at that moment, and both can be wrong. Where there were sources, the show lists them, so you can check. If a topic came out badly, say it more plainly in the sentence and build it again. And if something looks really off, write to us.

It is instrumental music Podoyo generates itself, served from its own servers. No music account is needed. On iPhone you can choose Apple Music instead in Settings; it plays from your own subscription.

Yes. Under your account you can pick a voice for Host 1 and Host 2, or leave them on Automatic and let Podoyo choose. How many hosts speak depends on what you asked for: one to four. A story’s narrator can be changed from the player.

Yes. Tap the microphone on the home screen and say it the way you would to a person: what it is about, how long, what music. Your phone does the listening with its own speech recognition. You can read it back and fix a word before anything is built.

English, German, Turkish, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Yes, in all six languages. An adult makes it on their own account. It has its own steps and is not one of the four formats. You choose an age band (3–5, 6–8 or 9–12), what the story is about, a length and a narrator, and Podoyo tells it start to finish with no music breaks. The length is an aim. You can add quiet background music, pictures and short video scenes; pictures and video use your minutes. It cannot be shared with a link. There is no field for a name, and you do not need to give one.

Classic public-domain tales, ready to play in all six languages, with pictures and animation. They are labeled by age, they do not use your minutes, and you can change the narrator from the Player.

Yes. Podoyo shows up on CarPlay and Android Auto as a list of your shows, and plays through the car. Make the shows on your phone before you set off; the car screen is for listening.

Yes. Download in the player keeps the whole show on your phone, music included. It stays until you remove it or until the show’s audio is no longer kept on our side, 14 days after it was made on the free plan; Premium keeps it while the subscription runs and for 14 days after it ends.

On the free plan, the script and the audio are deleted 14 days after a show is made. On Premium they stay for as long as the subscription runs. When Premium ends, nothing is deleted right away: every show keeps its audio, pictures and video for another 14 days, and we email you to say so. When those 14 days are over the free plan’s rule applies: the audio of shows older than 14 days is removed, and subscribing again does not bring it back.

The show itself, with its title, date, length, parts and the sentence you wrote, stays in your history until you delete your account. A share link lives 30 days, and the audio stays while it works. A story’s pictures and video go with its audio.

A show you downloaded stays on your phone until you remove it, or until we no longer hold the show. Free stories are not deleted.

Yes. To delete, tap the account icon at the top of the home screen, then Delete account. It happens immediately and cannot be undone. For a copy of everything held about you, write to us and we will send you one file.

How to delete your account

Yes. There is a question mark next to the account icon, on every screen. It opens the help for the screen you are on, then a list of all the topics, and the short introduction from the first start in case you skipped it.
