Systems and methods for generating and managing audio content

A system for generating a media episode, the system comprising:

• a memory device that stores instructions;
• and
• one or more processors that execute the instructions to perform a series of steps, including:
• receiving, by a host device, one or more snippets of media content related to a media episode, the one or more snippets of media content including user-contributed content, wherein the user-contributed content includes audio data from at least one of one or more sources and one or more channels, each of the one or more sources and the one or more channels corresponding with one or more users associated with the media episode;
• selecting, based on a set of compilation parameters associated with the one or more snippets of media content, a first snippet of media content and a second snippet of media content for inclusion in the media episode, wherein the set of compilation parameters includes a threshold number of user interactions with the user-contributed content;
• parsing the user-contributed content to identify one or more segments of audio data for speech-to-text conversion;
• converting the one or more of the identified segments of audio data to a textual transcript;
• and
• based on the set of compilation parameters and the textual transcript, generating the media episode for presentation on a user device, wherein the media episode includes the first snippet of media content and the second snippet of media content in a media file, and wherein the media file includes at least video data and is embedded within a web page.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to generate a media episode by performing operations comprising:

• receiving, by a host device, one or more snippets of media content related to a media episode, the one or more snippets of media content including user-contributed content, wherein the user-contributed content includes audio data from at least one of one or more sources and one or more channels, each of the one or more sources and the one or more channels corresponding with one or more users associated with the media episode;
• selecting, based on a set of compilation parameters associated with the one or more snippets of media content, a first snippet of media content and a second snippet of media content for inclusion in the media episode, wherein the set of compilation parameters includes a threshold number of user interactions with the user-contributed content;
• parsing the user-contributed content to identify one or more segments of audio data for speech-to-text conversion;
• converting the one or more of the identified segments of audio data to a textual transcript;
• and
• based on the set of compilation parameters and the textual transcript, generating the media episode for presentation on a user device, wherein the media episode includes the first snippet of media content and the second snippet of media content in a media file, and wherein the media file includes at least video data and is embedded within a web page.
