Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting and analytics platform built for creators, companies and networks who want to host more than one show without paying per podcast. Indie-owned and known for excellent support, it lets you publish audio and video podcasts, distribute them everywhere, and even run private or subscription podcasts — all from a single account with unlimited shows.

What is Transistor?

Transistor handles hosting, distribution and analytics for podcasts. You upload episodes and it pushes them to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts and everywhere else via your feed, generates a podcast website automatically, and gives you advanced analytics on downloads, subscriber trends and which apps your listeners use. Its defining trait: one account hosts unlimited podcasts, so you are never penalized for launching another show.

Who it's for

Transistor suits independent podcasters, podcast networks, and especially companies and communities that run multiple shows or want private, internal podcasts. Agencies and businesses love that a single subscription can cover many podcasts and teammates, making it a natural fit for anyone managing more than one feed.

Key features

• Unlimited podcast hosting on one account
• Audio and video podcast distribution to all major platforms
• Private and subscription podcasts with member access controls
• Advanced analytics: downloads, subscriber trends and app popularity
• Built-in podcast (and podcast-network) website generator
• Team collaboration tools
• Dynamic ad insertion (pre-, mid- and post-roll)
• AI transcription add-ons and API access

Built for multiple shows

Transistor's biggest structural advantage is that pricing is based on total downloads, not the number of podcasts — every tier includes unlimited podcasts and collaborators. For a company launching several branded shows, an agency hosting clients, or a creator experimenting with new formats, that removes the per-show fees that make competitors expensive and lets you spin up a new podcast whenever you like.

Private and subscription podcasts

Beyond public shows, Transistor makes private podcasting first-class. You can run internal podcasts for a company, or subscription podcasts where only paying members get access, with proper access controls. That opens up use cases well beyond public entertainment — employee communications, premium member content, cohort-based courses — all on the same reliable infrastructure.

Analytics and monetization

Transistor's analytics give creators the trustworthy download and audience data they need to grow and to pitch sponsors, while dynamic ad insertion lets them place (and update) pre-, mid- and post-roll ads across their catalog. AI transcription add-ons improve accessibility and SEO, and API access lets more technical teams build custom workflows around their podcast data.

Websites and distribution done for you

Transistor automatically generates a professional website for each podcast — and even a site for a whole podcast network — so creators get a real web home without building one. Publishing is equally hands-off: submit your show once and Transistor keeps your feed in sync across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pocket Casts and the rest, so a new episode appears everywhere your listeners are without any manual reposting. For teams, built-in collaboration means producers, hosts and editors can all work in the same account.

Why choose Transistor

For anyone hosting more than one podcast — or planning to — Transistor is one of the smartest choices available. Unlimited shows on every plan, strong analytics, private and subscription podcasting, and a reputation for genuinely helpful, indie-run support make it a favorite among serious creators, companies and networks who want room to grow without their bill growing per show.
