They make it so easy for one. They do most of the work after you upload your show.

I cannot say enough about how great Transistor is. Everything you could possibly want in a podcast platform and more. The one time I needed support, they came through right away. No other choice!

I can’t say enough about Transistor. I’m terrible about overthinking, over analyzing, over researching, so I can honestly tell you I looked at every podcasting host TOO MANY times. Transistor is, by... See more

Transistor is Fab

Transistor is Fab. I've been using it for around 3 months and it's exactly what I wanted in a podcast host. With both versatile tools for distribution AND analytics, it's a podcaster's dream. No need for using loads of different poorly made tools, just use Transistor. Plus the ability to make multiple podcasts without paying extra is a massive bonus. Cheers guys, for making such a great platform.

Switch now

If you're a podcaster, dump your current host and switch to Transistor.fm. I found them last year after many years of frustrations with other hosts, and they have gone beyond my expectations and become a dream host.

Features include:

--Automatic, seamless YouTube uploads.
--A dedicated web page for your podcasts.
--The ability to create and run your own ads and swap them out with pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll options.
--Truly seamless switching from your previous host (I was terrified; they made it SO easy).
--Easy distribution to all the podcast distributors I've ever heard of and many I hadn't.
--The best customer service I've ever experience with any company, ever, hand to God.
--Competitive prices. I pay the same amount I did for LibSyn and get so much more.

This is the rare service that is everything you wish for. Jump now. Trust me. You won't regret it.

I'm a huge fan of Transistor.fm! The tools are intuitive, and the support is incredible. Justin was able to help me with my problem (even this stupid one).

Transistor is a fantastic podcasting…

Transistor is a fantastic podcasting platform — it “just works” out of the box and includes lots of other useful things, like a professional-looking podcast website. The platform has scaled with us nicely, from when we were just a tiny show with a dozen listeners to now being an ad-supported show with tens of thousands of downloads. Love that you can also have a private podcast. Between public and private podcasts, I’ve published over 100 episodes with Transistor. It’s a great product.

Transistor is most bang for the buck!

Transistor is, in my opinion the best podcast hosting platform out there. For the money there are no better options.

- Multiple podcasts for one price
- stable and reliable infrastructure that makes your podcast always available
- no ads (unless you want them)
- world class support whether you have a technical issue or just have a question

I've published my 21st episode of software-should-be-free and I love the whole experience, a small price to pay to make many complex headaches go away. I'm even in spotify with no extra effort!

The Best Podcast Platform - EVER!

I've tried various platforms for myself and my customers when I had a podcasting studio. Many podcasting platforms don't have the best UX/UI and can be complicated for collaboration.

Transister is easy to get started, collaborate, and manage your podcast and hosting.

A huge plus on the amazing support team!

Transistor is the best at what it does…

Transistor is the best at what it does and doesn't get in the way at what you're trying to achieve: manage your podcast shows and episodes with ease.

I've been a Transistor user since the early days and I've witnessed the amount of care that went into building this incredible product and company. The team behind it is helpful regarding supporting your needs while using their product.

The best thing about it is that it makes it super easy to distribute your show to all outlets (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast...).

Amazing product & world class leaders

The Transistor platform is an outstanding hosting platform. I was on the platform for a long time, and quite frankly - it just works well. Period. I'd often chat with the team about my experience and for general support. I was welcomed, and never worried about the billing changing or being messed with in anyway.

I love the user experience

I'm hosting a public podcast called Gravitas WINS Radio on Transistor.

I love the user experience of Transistor. Transistor team has thought through all the pieces that are important and optimised them well - creating podcast, creating episodes, distribution ...

Providing feedback to Justin is easy - he is active on all platforms ;-) And these feedbacks are acknowledged and brought back into the product. You feel like you are part of the evolution of the product.

Transistor is the best platform for hosting multiple shows!

Transistor has made my experience hosting multiple podcasts an absolute dream!

I host multiple public and private podcasts with Transistor so I can speak to several different scenarios – all of which are completely pain-free with Transistor.

Public podcast as a solo host: Standard setup and Transistor's UI makes it easy for me to upload my show, add show notes, host a website, and give visitors a simple way to subscribe.

Public podcast as a co-host: My co-host and I both love Transistor and collaborating on show notes while an episode is in "Draft" mode prior to publishing is as easy as can be.

Private podcasts: As a product consultant, I often run user experience interviews for my clients. I've used Transistor's private podcast feature to make the interviews available in a secure feed so that my clients and I can listen back to the customer interviews using the podcast player of our choice. It's very effective!

In every scenario, Transistor has made hosting my shows simple, secure, and affordable. I'll be using them for a long time!

Super easy to get started!

I was looking at getting started at podcasting and after browsing the market Transistor seemed the most suitable for my needs.

I had no idea you had to submit podcasts to different players and transistor made the whole process easy. With team access, I could just give the raw show recording to my editor and he could easily publish it for me. He even recommends customers transistor now!

Transistor.fm is just what anyone who runs a podcast needs! The tools are flawless, and the service is top-notch. Justin was able to help me out, even later in the evening hours when I figured that everyone was out for the day, and even though the issue was caused by me.
