What they are

Adobe Podcast

Adobe Podcast is a browser-based audio tool that removes background noise, enhances voice recordings, and generates transcripts using AI. It targets podcasters, educators, and video creators who record in less-than-ideal environments. The Enhance Speech feature genuinely improves muddy recordings, though heavy processing can occasionally make voices sound slightly synthetic. A free tier exists with usage limits, and the paid plan sits under the Adobe Creative Cloud umbrella.

Ghost

Ghost is an independent publishing platform that combines a CMS, email newsletter tool, and membership system in one place. It is used by independent writers, journalists, and media companies who want to own their audience without relying on third-party platforms. The open-source core can be self-hosted for free, while Ghost Pro handles hosting at a monthly fee. The tradeoff is that it is more opinionated than WordPress and has a steeper learning curve for non-technical users.
