PRECISE & ACTIONABLE MEASUREMENTS
-
Measure all listener activity
We track all listens and downloads across the web and mobile devices, whether they come via our site, your site, a blog embed, social post, or download via podcast apps. Our dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your total listenership across all channels. -
Know your listeners
Not only can we estimate the gender, age, and geographic breakdown of your audience and break down which platforms your listeners use to access your show, we can infer engagement data that helps you understand the proportion of listeners that complete your show or stop listening in the first few minutes. All of these data points can help you make editorial decisions about your show’s content and marketing. -
Precision = Good Decisions
Our data team has developed a modern data platform that applies best practices from mature digital media to help you separate human activity from machine/bot activity. This gives you reliable feedback on your work. Our standards compliant* metrics also help build trust with advertisers.
PODCAST MONETIZATION, REIMAGINED.
-
Podcast monetization today has two problems.
Problem #1 Podcast networks and sales rep firms are cherry picking only successful podcasts to offer to advertisers - more than 5000 listens within the first 30 days of each new episode. This leaves 92% of podcasters out of the economics of podcasting.
Problem #2 Even those that are monetizing are leaving money on the table, often times unknowingly giving away free advertising and grossly under-utilising their content assets.
-
We’ve changed the equation.
Our modern podcast monetization system brings revenues for the first time to the 92% currently left out, and is capable of delivering up to 6x more revenues than prevailing methods. We match you with fitting sponsors and utilize a mix of host read and spot ad instruments that you control to maximize your earnings.

INTERVIEW GUESTS WHO ARE HALFWAY ACROSS THE GLOBE
Aside from the main publishing features that will serve the bulk of podcasters, who simply want to upload finished episodes, our higher plans also offer the use of a web based interview studio to record or live stream episodes with distant subjects. All you need is a computer, a decent microphone, and headphones. Record solo or with guests (near and from afar). Broadcast live or run private recording sessions. Syndicate your episode automatically or download and edit your content before re-uploading to publish it.
-
Record yourself & Guests
No more fumbling with Skype, Google Hangouts, and 3rd-party apps. Digitally connect and record yourself, your co-hosts and show guests in our simple to use, web-based studio.
-
Go live or record segments
Record entire episodes live or record individual segments and interviews privately for editing at a later date. Integrate live callers as needed.
-
Mix in audio clips
Layer in pre-recorded music and interviews, sound beds, segments, and other content to your live or record-only studio session.
-
Connect with a phone as a last resort
Given the inherent lossiness of IP traffic, occasional network related disruptions may occur. When that happens, you and your guests can connect with a phone as a last resort.
