How to save money on podcast hosting

Transistor Team

I started podcasting in 2012 when I started a show called Product People. Back then, I paid around $15 / month for my podcast hosting and analytics.

But, like many podcasters, I couldn't stick with just one show. Soon, I was collaborating with other people, and starting new podcasts. Plus, I created audiobooks for two of the books I'd written.

This introduced three problems:

  1. I was paying for 8 podcast hosting accounts ($15 x 8 = $120 per month!)

  2. I wasn't able to manage all of my podcasts from one account

  3. On some podcasts, I had co-hosts and editors who also needed to access the show's settings and analytics.

Now, I manage everything from one account, for one price

On Transistor, you can publish as many separate podcasts as you'd like, starting at $19 / month!

Here's how many podcasts I manage today:

I can manage multiple podcasts from a single dashboard on Transistor.fm

With my old hosting provider, it would cost me $1,440 a year to publish eight podcasts. On Transistor, it costs me only $190 / year. 

On Transistor, I'm saving $1,250 a year on podcast hosting.
