How it works
The review page is your shop window. Make it a good one.
Your client doesn't see your timeline, your session, or your seventeen exports. They might not even meet you. They just see a clean episode page: player, searchable transcript, AI summary, chapters, and the clips awaiting their approval, each with its own comment thread.
Example only, no endorsement implied.
- Timestamped, transcript-anchored comments. “Cut the bit at 41:20” arrives as a pin on the actual moment, not a guess in an email.
- Per-clip approval. Every clip is explicitly approved before it goes anywhere near a feed. When someone asks “who signed this off?”, you have receipts, with names and timestamps.
- Clients can suggest clips too. They highlight a moment; you decide if it's a cut. Collaboration without handing them the scissors.
- Your branding, not ours. On Studio and Agency plans, the review page carries your logo. Your client sees your studio's delivery portal. (Agency plan: full white-label on your own domain.)
Who it's for
Production agencies
Run every client show through one approval pipeline. Unlimited team members, unlimited client reviewers, a recorded sign-off trail for every deliverable on the retainer.
Freelance editors & producers
Look like a bigger operation than you are. Stop chasing feedback across email, WhatsApp and three Google Docs. Send one link and get back to cutting.
Networks & publishers
Standardise host and sponsor approvals across the catalogue. Committee-proof: any number of stakeholders, one decision per asset.
Why not just a shared drive and an email thread?
That's the incumbent, and it has no transcript, no timestamps, no approval record, and it's why “mix_v7b_FINAL_final” exists. Generic review tools aren't built for this either: podcast delivery isn't one video, it's an episode plus a stack of clips, each needing its own decision, reviewed by people who'll never learn a post-production interface.
PodLook does one job: it's the client-facing approval layer for podcast production. It works with whatever you edit in.
Built from the delivery chair, not a pitch deck.
We're a team who understand delivery. Amongst us we have 30 years of experience in sound post-production, a career delivering cloud-based infrastructure at the highest level of security and media requirements, and a composer with a lifetime of presenting work to an international client base.
PodLook is the delivery workflow we've always wanted to exist. So we built it.
Free while we're in beta. This is what it'll cost after.

Questions, answered
Do my clients need an account?
No, they just open a link and start watching. Only your team (the people uploading and managing shows) ever log in or pay. We’ll ask them for an email address if they’d like to comment.
Does it handle video and audio?
Both. Video podcasts are why PodLook exists, but audio-only episodes get the same transcript, comments and approval flow.
What formats should I upload?
Your delivery-format exports (MP4/H.264, WAV/MP3): the same files your client would receive. PodLook is a review and approval tool, not an archive for camera masters.
Where's my media stored, and is it secure?
Encrypted in transit and at rest, served over private links that you control and can revoke. See the security section below for the detail.
What happens to my account after beta?
You'll get founding-member pricing (40% off for life) before anyone else. Beta users are never dumped onto full price.
The next episode you deliver could come back signed off, clip by clip.
