Our Story: Transforming Podcasting into a Seamless Experience

Founded by Karl Lillrud

In a world where podcasts are rapidly growing, I experienced firsthand the challenges that creators, businesses, and individuals face in producing and managing their shows. Managing, recording, and all the post-production required to produce and optimize a podcast is often a monumental task.

Where It Started

That’s where it all started from my personal experience of these struggles. As an entrepreneur deeply passionate about both technology and storytelling, I’ve spent over 28 years working at the forefront of digital innovation. From working with Fortune 500 companies to guiding the next generation of startups, I've seen how crucial the right tools and strategies are in achieving success, but also the pain many companies experience from having too many tools in place.

When it came to podcasting, something was missing. Creators were being overwhelmed by the technical side, with no room left to focus on their true craft: storytelling. That's where PodManager AI was born.

Building a Solution

I didn’t want to just build another company; I wanted to build a solution for podcasters who want to create great content without drowning in complexity. With my expertise in AI and digital transformation, I knew I could create a platform that not only addressed these challenges but also empowered podcasters to work smarter, not harder while also enabling non podcasters to launch a show from scratch with ease.

The Problem

Podcasting has exploded, but behind every successful show lies a heap of complex tools, tedious tasks, and technical headaches. For many creators, podcasting isn’t just about hitting “record” it’s about juggling multiple platforms for distribution, constantly managing social media, analyzing audience data, editing content, and coordinating with teams.

The time it takes to manage all of this leaves very little space for creativity. And the problem is even bigger for creators who don’t have a dedicated team or the resources to handle the technical side of things. PodManager AI was built to change that. By streamlining podcast management, our AI‑powered platform lets creators focus on what they do best creating content that inspires, educates, and entertains.

The Vision

At PodManager AI, we believe that podcasting should be simple, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. Our vision is to make podcasting a seamless experience, where creators no longer have to fight through a maze of tools just to publish and grow their show. We’re here to make it effortless.
