Abstract: An audio podcast distribution system includes a server configured to aggregate and store podcast audio files in a database. A computing device is configured to render an audio playback GUI on a display for playing a given podcast audio file from the database. The audio playback GUI includes a playback control user input, and an audio snippet creation user input. The computing device is configured to render an audio snippet playback GUI on the display, the audio snippet playback GUI include a video creation user input, and when the video creation user input is activated, send a video request to the server. The server is configured to, based upon the video request, generate a video file having the audio snippet of the given podcast audio file, and image data in the database associated with the given podcast audio file.

Abstract: An audio podcast distribution system includes a server configured to aggregate and store podcast audio files in a database, and a computing device in communication with the server.
