Creating Podcasts at Scale with Inception Point

About Inception Point

Inception Point is building the future of storytelling through AI personalities. Led by CEO Jeanine Wright and a team of media veterans, they've created the world's largest independent podcast network by show count—the Quiet Please Podcast Network—with over 5,000 shows producing 3,000+ episodes weekly that have reached over 11 million listeners.

Inception Point currently manages a roster of 50+ AI personalities—from food expert Clare Delish to nature enthusiast Nigel Thistledown—each styled, voiced, and fine-tuned to engage real audiences across podcasting, short-form video, books, and more. They produce episodes for $1 or less, turning podcasts profitable after just 20 listeners, and they’re now expanding their AI talent into other content ecosystems.

Integrating Hume's EVI

As Inception Point scales to thousands of AI personalities, they chose Hume’s Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to deliver across three critical capabilities:

1. Real Expressiveness: Their AI hosts need to not only read the script, but build a genuine relationship with their audience. EVI brings emotional intelligence and personality to every episode, transforming basic narration into an engaging conversation.

2. Enterprise Scalability: Producing 3,000+ episodes weekly demands consistent, high-quality voices that don't degrade under volume. EVI maintains studio-grade audio fidelity whether Inception Point is creating 50 episodes or 50,000.

3. Multi-Format Ready: As Inception Point expands beyond podcasting into short-form video, social media content, and interactive experiences, EVI provides voices that work across every medium.

Katie Brown, Chief Content Officer at Inception Point, notes:

Hume was a game changer for us. It gave us the ability to create and own voices with character, emotion, and depth that no other tool provided. The nuanced feelings we can program make our audio truly stand out.
