Delivered September 24, 2019. Contributor: Megan B.
Goals
To gain a robust competitive landscape on podcasting systems.
Early Findings
- In order to find 8 more podcasting platforms, we looked for various lists of the best and top podcasting systems in the US.
- This lead us to add Podbean, Buzzsprout, Blubrry, Transistor, Captivate, Castos, Podomatic and Fireside to the spreadsheet.
- Podbean is a one-stop-shop to create, host, distribute and monetize a podcast.
- Buzzsprout users can host, promote and track their podcasts. It helps combine podcast stats in one easy-to-use interface.
- Blubrry offers a PowerPress plugin, as well as hosting and data solutions.
- Transistor is a professional podcast hosting and analytics platform.
- Captivate positions itself as the "world's only growth-oriented podcast host". It is meant to be an all-in-one solution for podcast hosts to be able to use from day one.
- Castos offers a WordPress plugin, hosting, analytics, YouTube republishing and easier ways to monetize podcasts.
- Podomatic offers easy hosting and publishing solutions, as well as marketing tools.
- Fireside offers hosting and analytics solutions.
