http://complete.audio is the landing page.
Looked at podbean, tryca.st and others.
What complication of the current process would your product solve? I'm not all that familiar with the typical podcast workflow, but to me it seems the connection between recording/editing and publishing is just "upload an audio file", which doesn't seem like a big issue, so there is probably more to what you are planning integration-wise?
Let novice users (or even lazy pros) create a professional quality podcast without needing extra software or hosting.
Re: upload an audio file
Soundcloud built their business around doing just this, albeit for a different market. They do support Podcasts but you can tell from the interface it is meant for music primarily.

Your landing page doesn't provide any information, and I'm still unclear what the specific pains you're solving are?
There's already several podcast-specific hosting companies (libsyn, blubrry, acast, buzzsprout), so what are you adding?
There's the RSS feed management and submitting to iTunes (most of the above have that).
On the audio creation part, there's Auphonic (automatic leveling and some mixing) and not much else (that I'm aware of) that's automated.
From my point of view, editing, transcribing, splicing ads, chapter-marking, compiling show notes, etc., are all manual processes right now, so automating or streamlining them would be great.
Something on the ads/sponsor side of things would be valuable: Google had tried doing this for radio spots back in the mid 2000's, but it flopped (not enough good inventory, among other things). I think with podcasts, there's a market that could be created.
Are you building a search engine for podcasts?
By building one you'll gain a lot of insights 99% of the population don't have, so it's a win win situation.
Don't ask for permission
The answer to this is always yes. Unless it takes months to build an MVP. By building one you'll gain a lot of insights 99% of the population don't have, so it's a win win situation. Don't ask for permission
Then do the best one. It might still fail, and if it does you'll still learn a lot, but you won't be wasting months or years when you could have chosen something more promising from the beginning.
(And that's not a criticism of this specific business idea.)

I don't agree. Spend a week coming up with 100 other ideas first, and then get feedback on the most promising ones. Then do the best one.
