Enabling real-time audio for publishers at the new pace of podcasting

Spooler is a new CMS for publishing audio that gives creators the unique flexibility to edit and re-edit podcasts quickly and easily, making timely updates feasible in a way never possible before.

Update and deliver audio faster than ever before

Spooler technology is built on the creation of individual digital story modules that can be updated and effortlessly packaged together in a way that is seamless and adaptive, resulting in a finished product that sounds as polished as highly-produced podcasts which can take many hours to create and edit.

We've always wanted to be able to deliver audio news with the same speed and freshness as Insider publishes on the web — with Spooler, we finally can.

Perfect for…

News

Spooler was built specifically for groups who want to create and update news shows more quickly and easily than anywhere else. Create a daily news show from your template in minutes, and update it even faster as new stories break.
Highly Structured Shows

Spooler’s templates make producing shows with a regular structure easier than ever. Drop in a fresh audio segment and click once to produce your new episode, complete with its music bed, transitions, and standard intro and outro.
Remote Teams

With one central hub to assign, manage and edit individual segments, Spooler is perfect for groups who work remotely. Contributors based globally can create and upload their segments while an editor assembles them together to create a great-sounding show—no audio engineer required.
App Developers

Many apps have or would benefit from an audio component. Spooler’s JSON and RSS outputs with rich metadata make it easy to plug dynamic, stereo, chapterized audio into your app.
Professional Groups

Easily keep your work team, special interest site, or professional organization informed with quick updates from the office or the field. Embed the audio player on your site as an announcement board to display the most recent news, and keep old announcements available as a podcast to bring new members up to speed.
Groups New to Audio

For groups that haven’t produced a podcast in the past, starting a show can be a daunting task. With Spooler, show set-up is a one-time affair. Templates allow creators to build once and reuse. With your intros and music already in place, all you have to do is press “Record.”
Enhancing Long-form Shows

Some shows, like interviews or roundtable discussions, are more evergreen. Keep the content fresh by creating a news summary at the top of the show, that you can update any time.
