Podcast Hosting FAQs

What is a podcast?

A podcast is the medium of the future. Eighty million Americans (28% of the U.S. 12+ population) listen to podcasts weekly with the most diverse audience ever while driving, cleaning, working out or relaxing. These numbers have only increased for the past decade.

What is podcast hosting?

Choose your podcast host for ease and execution — and price. The best podcast hosting platform will offer you turn-key publishing, world-wide distribution, promotion and monetization. They will make it super easy to grow and make money from your podcast. Libsyn offers all this and caters to the independent podcaster who wants complete control over how their show is presented to the world.

How do you pick a podcast host?

Our hosting plans are not based on how many downloads your show gets in a month, but on how much new content is loaded to your account every month. You don’t have to worry about surprise charges or rate increases if your episode downloads and audience grows.

How do podcasts make money?

Any podcast can make money offering top listeners exclusive content via a subscription service like Libsyn’s Glow. Members get access to special features, like guest interviews, training, archives and more. When a podcast has enough downloads to attract advertisers on a platform like Libsyn’s AdvetiseCast Marketplace, the host can then earn money by offering host-read or programmatic ads.
