Podwobble
“I made Podwobble for my own show”
I produced “NOMS! Movie Podcast” for a year. We filmed it, but what I always wanted was simpler: a photo of each host that moves when they talk. A talking head without the camera.
I knew how to make one in After Effects. I refused to pay for a subscription to make a circle bounce.
In 2026 I was laid off after 17 years of building software for other people. I’m producing a new show now, “Cancelled Too Soon” (still in pre-production), so I finally built the tool I’d wanted. That’s Podwobble.
What it does
Drop in a finished episode and add a photo of each host. The host who is talking is the one who moves. Podwobble writes the captions, and every format you pick (16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1) comes out of one render, ready for YouTube, Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
It runs on your Mac or Windows PC. There’s no account, the caption model ships inside the app, and your episode is never uploaded anywhere.
The free version has no limit on projects or exports and puts a small Podwobble mark in the corner. Pro removes the mark and adds 2K and 4K. Prices are on the home page, including a one-time lifetime option.
Who it’s for
Podcasters who record audio and still need video. Mostly that’s a show with one or two hosts, made by the hosts themselves, where video is the job that keeps getting put off. If you produce several shows, a saved look for each one gives you the same result every week.
It isn’t for shows that already film every episode, and it isn’t an audio editor. Podwobble starts from the finished episode.
What it doesn’t do yet
- Two hosts need a recording each. A one-host show works with just the episode. To show who’s talking on a two-host show, Podwobble needs each host’s own voice track, which most remote recording tools already save. What to have ready.
- Captions are English only. For another language, import an SRT or VTT file you already have.
- The Windows installer isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows warns you the first time. Here’s how to get past it.
