An audio-drama platform expanding its vision from listening to storytelling.

Pocket FM Challenger EpicHear Introduces Epicalyx, Its AI Story-Writing Sidekick

EpicHear, the serialized audio-drama platform, is introducing Epicalyx, an upcoming AI story-writing sidekick designed to help creators shape stories for audio and explore their earning potential.

Available at epichear.com, EpicHear brings together original narrated series across romance, mystery, fantasy, science fiction and drama. Listeners can discover a story, explore its chapters and start listening directly in their browser.

Epicalyx builds on that storytelling focus. Its ambition is to give aspiring writers a starting point for developing stories suited to episodic listening, with characters audiences care about and chapters that give them a reason to return.

The announcement marks EpicHear’s next step toward connecting its listening platform with a creator experience. Further details about Epicalyx will be shared as the product develops.

An independent challenger in the category occupied by Pocket FM, EpicHear puts its own catalog and creative identity at the center of its offering.

Creators can join the free creator waitlist at epichear.com/studio.
