Record, edit and distribute audio and video without ever leaving the platform
AI powered translation of content into 30+ languages in the creator’s own cloned voice

Automatic clipping and repurposing episodes for Reels, Shorts and TikToks
Direct publishing to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and more in one click.

“With Rebel Audio now in public beta, we’re giving every creator from our waitlist immediate access to the suite of tools, whether they have 100 followers or 10 million, the same production power, the same global reach, and the same ownership over their platform for the first time ever,” said Jared Gutstadt, Founder and CEO of Rebel Audio. “As a creator and inventor, I see this as the entry point for the era of social audio to take hold and this is the tool to unlock it!”

In tandem with the public beta opening, Rebel Audio is publishing the original series, REBEL’s PODCAST, putting the platform’s capabilities on display. REBELS, a podcast series hosted by Gutstadt that serves as both a cultural platform and a real-time chronicle of building Rebel Audio itself.

Season one guests include his Chief Creator MIke Majlak, Grammy-winning musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Nile Rogers, Emmy Award-winning writer and producer Steve Levitan (Modern Family) and acclaimed comedian and writer Neil Brennan with additional guests to be announced.
