★★★★★

Transistor is incredibly easy to use, is very reliable, and has the best customer service! After starting my free trial, I immediately fell in love with how easy to use their interface was. I also like that they integrate with Zapier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I go over my download limit?

Let's say you're on the Starter plan with 20,000 downloads per month. If we notice that you’re consistently going over your download limit we’ll reach out to you and get you to upgrade to the next level. There's no "automatic shut off;" we'll continue to serve audio for your listeners.

What counts toward file storage?

File storage is the total size of all the audio and video files you have uploaded across your podcasts. The allowance is shared across all the podcasts you own, and is separate from your monthly audio download allowance.

You can check your usage and view a storage breakdown under Plan Features & Usage on your account page. Learn more about storage limits.

How many podcasts can I have?

With Transistor, you have the flexibility to host an unlimited number of podcasts using a single account. Regardless of your subscription plan, you can create and manage multiple podcasts.

There are no restrictions on the number of episodes you can have within each podcast. Professional includes 500 GB of file storage, Business includes 1 TB, and Enterprise 1 includes 2 TB. Each podcast you create on Transistor gets its own RSS feed, podcast website, and analytics page. Enjoy the freedom to explore and produce as many podcasts as you desire!

Do I own my content on Transistor?

Yes! You retain ownership over all your content on Transistor.

In our terms, you are simply giving us permission to host and distribute your content. Aside from this permission, Transistor doesn't acquire any right, title, or interest in or to your content.

Furthermore, you can do whatever you'd like with your show: run your own ads, create a Patreon membership, and distribute it any way you'd like.

How do I make a podcast?
  1. Get a USB microphone (the ATR2100 or the Samson Q2U are both good).

  2. Connect your microphone to your computer, iPhone, Android, or tablet.

  3. Record your audio. You can use free software like Garage Band (Mac) or Audacity (PC).

  4. Export your recorded audio to MP3. For audio quality, choose 44100 Hz and 128 kb/s in your export settings.

  5. Log in to your Transistor hosting account.

  6. Upload the MP3 file you recorded, and then publish your episode.

  7. Now, your hosting provider will generate an RSS feed for your podcast.

  8. Submit your podcast's RSS feed to Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

  9. Every time you publish a new episode, listeners will automatically get it in their podcast player!
