Frequently Asked Questions

On a real RSS feed at authoronair.com/{your-show}/feed.xml, syndicated to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. You own the feed — if you ever want to take your show somewhere else, the feed comes with you.

You do. We hold a non-exclusive licence to produce and distribute the episodes you authorise — and the moment you delete a show, we pull it from the public directories within seven days. See our Terms for the full text.

Solo Author covers one book. Series covers up to five — useful if you've got a trilogy, a non-fiction backlist, or you're a small imprint. Press covers up to ten and includes custom show branding so you can use AuthorOnAir as the engine for an imprint-branded podcast.

Yes. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period and you keep full access until then. No retention dance. No "are you sure" pop-ups. Annual plans aren't pro-rated on cancellation — but they save roughly 17% up front.

Authors who think one launch, not ongoing. $99 buys four episodes inside a 30-day window — perfect for a release week. No recurring fee. If you decide afterwards that you want twelve episodes a year out of the same book, you can step up to a Solo plan whenever.

Better than you'd expect. We use the same OpenAI realtime voice model that powers our phone-support system — natural pacing, warm tone, real understanding of what you're saying. Before deciding to publish, you can hear it for yourself in your free 5-minute sample episode.

Two safety nets. Mid-recording, just say "scratch that" and the host re-asks the question. After recording, you can also click any answer in the transcript to delete or re-record it. We auto-clean filler words, awkward pauses, and false starts so you sound your best either way.

No studio required. A laptop or phone with a decent built-in microphone is plenty — our AI enhancement does the heavy lifting on audio quality. AirPods or a basic USB mic produces broadcast-quality results.

About an hour of your time per episode. The interview itself is roughly 30 minutes, then we auto-edit and you preview the result before it ships. Episodes typically go live the next day on your schedule.

Yes — clearly, in every episode's show notes and on the show page. Spotify and Apple require it, and frankly, listeners deserve to know. Your answers are real; the interviewer is artificial. We don't pretend otherwise.
