History podcasts, made for you

AI history podcast generator

Turn a historical question into a narrated podcast. Historai is an AI podcast generator focused on history: choose your topic, language and episode length, then listen and ask questions about the story.

How to generate a history podcast with AI

Start with a person, place, event or question. Choose a 5, 10 or 15-minute episode, with one narrator or two hosts. Historai researches the topic, writes the story and generates the narration.

For example, ask “How did Roman aqueducts work?” or “Why did the Space Race begin?” A focused question gives your episode a clear subject. Create a free account to use your welcome allowance; the FAQ explains free minutes and questions.

Ask questions while listening

Ask about something in your episode when you want more context or an explanation. Questions use their own allowance, separate from the minutes used to create episodes.

Read the transcript and inspect the sources

Public episodes include a readable transcript, chapters and source links in the player’s Info panel. You can follow the narration in text and explore the materials behind the story.

AI-generated writing and narration can contain mistakes. Source links help you investigate claims; they do not mean every statement has been independently verified.

Listen in your preferred language

Create episodes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German or Russian. Choose the available language and voice options when setting up your episode.

Explore public history podcasts

Browse the history archive by topic, find stories in Community, or explore Today in History. Public episodes let you listen and read before choosing a topic of your own.

Keep listening to the stories you created

Your library keeps your episodes together. Replaying an existing episode does not spend creation minutes. Read the frequently asked questions for details about free access, allowances and how Historai works.
