Private podcasting is perfect for internal company announcements, training programs, podcasts for membership sites, and audiobooks

Using private podcasts for courses, training, or compliance? Now, for each episode, you can see who's listened (and how many times), see who hasn't listened, export CSV, and search for specific subscribers.

Ensure your podcast meets the minimum requirements for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more.

It used to take forever to manually submit your podcast to all the listening apps and directories. Now you can 1-click submit to the top podcasting search engines.
