Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions we often get asked about private podcasts.

How do I get my podcast on Apple Podcasts?

Once you've published an episode and completed the Distribution Checklist in Transistor, you can submit your show to Apple Podcasts with one click from the Distribution tab. You can also submit your RSS feed manually through Apple Podcast Connect.

Should I switch podcast hosting companies?

There are several reasons you might want to switch your podcast to a different hosting provider.

  1. Better features: Different podcast hosting companies offer different features. You might find that another company has features that better suit your needs, such as the ability to host multiple podcasts, dynamic ad insertion, or better analytics.

  2. Cost savings: It's possible that another hosting company could offer lower prices or better pricing plans that save you money in the long run.

  3. Improved customer support: If you've had issues with your current hosting company's customer support, switching to a different company could provide better assistance and response times.

  4. Modern interface: Some older podcast hosts have an interface that’s outdated and less intuitive than new options. Many people switch to get a more modern and user-friendly experience.

How does AI transcription work?

AI transcription leverages machine learning algorithms and natural language processing technologies to convert spoken language (audio) into written text.

You may have used speech-to-text that leverages a similar technology when you've uploaded a video to YouTube or Facebook, and it's automatically generated captions. Google Docs also has a similar speech-to-text feature.

What is a private podcast?

A private podcast is a show distributed directly to subscribers via a unique RSS feed, allowing them to listen in their preferred player but bypassing public directories like Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
