AIHosts.fm launches AI-hosted podcast network for human experts

By AI, Created 4:53 PM UTC, May 17, 2026, /AGP/ – AIHosts.fm has launched a podcast network with 100-plus topic-specific shows where AI hosts interview real human experts and publish episodes to major platforms in minutes. The Boston-area rollout aims to remove the gatekeeping and scheduling bottlenecks that make traditional podcast bookings hard to land.

Why it matters: - AIHosts.fm is designed to turn podcast guesting into a repeatable distribution channel for experts who struggle to get booked by human hosts. - The network gives authors, founders, physicians, coaches, and other subject-matter experts a faster path to published audio, plus short-form clips they can reuse on social platforms. - The model shifts the guest from pitch target to customer, while keeping the content centered on a real human expert rather than a synthetic speaker.

What happened: - AIhosts.fm, a new podcast network from Archieboy Holdings, LLC, launched with more than 100 topic-specific shows. - Every show uses an AI host and features real human guests. - Guests can book an interview, record a roughly nine-minute conversation in a browser, and distribute the finished episode to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. - The network covers business, technology, health, science, food, sports, parenting, and politics. - The launch announcement came from Boston, where Archieboy Holdings is based in the United States.

The details: - AI hosts are available continuously and cover more than 50 topic categories. - Before each session, the AI host ingests the guest’s biography, recent links, and topic-area news into a 3,000-to-5,000-token briefing dossier. - The briefing dossier is loaded into the host’s system prompt at showtime. - The interview is live and interactive, not a scripted Q&A. - Runtime tools include look_up_news(query), look_up_guest(person), and verify_claim(statement). - After recording, the platform auto-edits the audio, publishes the episode to RSS, syndicates it to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music, and generates three vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. - The voice stack runs on Google Gemini Live, the same real-time voice technology used by Archieboy’s AuthorOnAir platform. - Each show maintains its own RSS feed and distribution footprint. - Guests keep full rights to their audio and own the MP3 file outright. - Every episode discloses the AI host in the show notes. - Free-tier episodes also include a brief spoken disclosure in the audio.

Between the lines: - AIHosts.fm is taking a different approach from AI podcast businesses that produce fully synthetic shows for advertising buyers. - The platform is built around human expertise as the core content, with AI handling hosting, preparation, editing, and distribution. - The multi-show setup lets one expert appear across different categories in the same week, which can widen reach without requiring separate production workflows. - The product also extends Archieboy Holdings’ broader strategy of using AI voice infrastructure to reduce media access barriers.

What’s next: - AIHosts.fm says its current footprint of 100-plus shows is built to expand as new categories are added. - Payment infrastructure is still being refined ahead of the platform’s Phase 3 rollout. - The network is offering four access tiers: Free, Guest, Featured, and Press. - The Free plan includes one lifetime interview with a 15-minute recording window on a starter show. - The Guest plan costs $19 per month or $190 per year and includes three interviews per month, a 30-minute window, AI editing, and three clips per episode. - The Featured plan costs $49 per month or $490 per year and adds six interviews per month, premium placement, homepage rotation, and end-of-episode mentions. - The Press plan costs $99 per month or $990 per year and includes 12 interviews per month, a custom branded segment, cross-show booking, and homepage rotation. - Guests can record from a laptop or phone with a standard microphone; no studio equipment is required.

The bottom line: - AIHosts.fm is betting that fast, AI-run production can make podcast access more scalable for experts than the traditional guest-booking model.
