Linda - Your Podcast Creator
Hello Linda · Voice & Language · Business
Linda is a voice-first iPhone app that interviews you about your life and turns each chat into a shareable podcast episode. It's a personal podcast app for storytelling, not for hosting a weekly show.
About Linda - Your Podcast Creator
What Is Linda - Your Podcast Creator
Linda is an AI app that asks you questions about your life, listens to your spoken answers, and turns the recording into a finished podcast episode. You talk, it edits, and a polished episode lands on your own podcast page. That path matters for anyone who wants their story told but has no interest in buying a microphone, learning audio software, or writing a script.
The app is made by Hello Linda and runs only on iPhone. You start with an Introduction and a short "Getting to Know You" topic, then unlock a larger interview library with a subscription. If you'd rather listen to your family than type a memoir, this life story app is the shortcut. The tradeoff is real: your words get recorded as-is, and Linda can't keep anything off the record.
Getting Started
- Download the Linda app on an iPhone and create an account with Gmail, Apple, Facebook, or an email and password.
- Enter a gift code if you have one, then tap the screen to start your first interview with the Intro and "Getting to Know You" topics.
- Answer out loud or steer with the buttons: pause and resume, skip a question, or ask Linda to repeat. Your progress saves if you stop partway.
- When an interview ends, Linda generates an episode automatically. It usually takes a few minutes, and you get an email when it's ready.
- Open the Podcasts tab to listen, read the transcript, or set each episode as private or published on your podcast page.

Key features
Voice-First Interviews
Linda holds a conversation instead of handing you a form. You tap the screen, she asks a question, and you answer out loud. There's no typing and no script to write, which is why the app works for people who find most software intimidating.
Guided, Personalized Questions
Linda steers the interview so you can focus on remembering rather than deciding what to say next. As you share more, she follows up on what you've already told her and asks about related experiences, so a single answer can open a longer thread.
Automatic Podcast Episode Creation
When an interview wraps up, Linda edits and polishes the audio and publishes an episode to your personal podcast page, typically within a few minutes. You skip the mixing, exporting, and uploading that usually come with making a podcast.
Your Own Hosted Podcast Page
Every paying subscriber gets a podcast page that lists the episodes you've marked as visible. You can add a profile picture, share the link, and let listeners browse your public episodes. Only people with the link can reach the page.
Privacy Controls for Every Episode
You decide what goes public. Each episode is set to private or published on its own, private episodes sit on a separate page with a consent warning, and every podcast page is blocked from search engines and AI crawlers. Podcast URLs carry complex ID numbers so they can't be stumbled onto.
Downloadable Audio and Transcripts
You can pull down all of your podcast audio and written transcripts from the app's settings whenever you want. That gives you a local copy, so your stories aren't locked inside one company's servers.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The interview feels like a phone call, so there's essentially no learning curve for non-technical users.
- Episodes are edited and hosted for you, and Linda remembers past answers to keep questions relevant.
- Strong privacy defaults: pages are blocked from search engines, and you can mark any episode private.
- You can download all audio and transcripts, and a gift code unlocks a free month.
Cons
- It's iPhone-only, so there's no Android app or web version for family members on other devices.
- Everything you say is recorded and becomes part of the episode, and Linda can't keep a comment off the record.
- The free tier is limited to select interviews, and prompts, custom topics, and full interview access all require a subscription.
- There's no public API, so you can't push episodes into other podcast tools or automate publishing.
Frequently asked questions
No. Linda is for making a podcast about your own life, not for subscribing to other shows. You answer interview questions and the app turns your answers into episodes.
