For all of us at Libsyn, it is “Business as Usual” in this challenging time. But like everyone, we had to make changes, be flexible, and think outside the box. We are taking the current outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously. Our priority is the health and safety of our employees. Taking care of them first means they can better support you and your podcast during this period of social distancing. We have prepared for remote operations and our day-to-day business has been ongoing and uninterrupted over the last two weeks.
Our focus today remains the same as ever, while following a remote workforce model. We are committed to supporting you and your podcast during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Today and in the days and weeks to come, our world-class Support Team will be here to assist with any platform issues that arise. Our blog, social media accounts (Facebook, IG, and Twitter), and podcast, The Feed, will also continue to bring you relevant and curated podcasting content to keep you informed.
As the situation evolves, we still strive to communicate with all of you, our team, our partners, and the podcast community. Our goal is to ensure our podcast community has access to the most reliable and powerful podcasting tools and our hardworking team to keep you podcasting. Please review our FAQs below and check back for updates as they become necessary.
