Fireside

Fireside is a podcast hosting and analytics platform aimed at podcasters seeking a full-service publishing solution. It provides MP3 file hosting, automatic RSS feed generation, and distribution to major listening platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and YouTube Music. Each podcast hosted on Fireside also receives a customizable, responsive website with episode pages, host and guest pages, and custom redirects.

The platform includes download statistics and analytics with planned IAB compliance, free SSL certificates for subdomains and custom domains, and content delivery through partnerships with CDNs for fast file delivery. Fireside supports one-click podcast migration from other hosting platforms and RSS feeds, including custom importers for services such as Anchor, Libsyn, BuzzSprout, Transistor, SoundCloud, and PodBean, without disrupting existing subscribers.

Founded by podcasters with industry experience dating back to 2006, Fireside launched in 2016 and continues to build workflow tools such as link bookmarklets, sponsor integration and management features, and custom domain support to help podcasters maintain brand identity. The company also offers an API for programmatic access to podcast data, using token-based authentication and rate-limited endpoints. Fireside serves independent podcasters, growing shows, and networks that need hosting, distribution, analytics, and website infrastructure in a single platform.
