NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rebel Audio, the AI-powered podcast platform built to radically simplify how podcasts are created, produced, and scaled, today announced the opening of its public beta, revealed details of the technology and announced a new flagship series showcasing the platform's capabilities. Rebel Audio and its suite of AI-native tools are now live and available to creators worldwide.

The company's milestones were celebrated this past weekend at Rebel Chateau, the brand's marquee activation at CMA Fest in Nashville, where they brought together creators, tastemakers and industry insiders who are shaping the future of the Music City. Produced by Savoir Agency and sponsored by ARB Interactive / Modo Casino, What's Poppin, HOGWOOD, Sunny's ICED Lemonade, Big Al's Hot Mustard, Daily Crunch, Belle Meade Bourbon and 1010burger - see photos HERE.

Rebel Audio's capabilities include some of the most powerful and valuable tools needed to scale and increase visibility for content in today's rapidly evolving creator landscape. The platform and future roadmap allows users to:

• 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
  • Translated versions will generate their own RSS feed and YouTube channel, making the global distribution a native part of the workflow, not a post-production afterthought
• 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. The show brings together artists, founders, executives, athletes and creative disruptors together for raw, unfiltered conversations at the intersection of AI, music, Hollywood, sports and the future of storytelling. 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.
