Flightcast

Flightcast operates a video podcast hosting and distribution platform for podcast creators and teams. It allows users to upload video episodes once and publish them across multiple platforms as either video or audio, with the ability to customize episode details per platform, including AI-assisted writing of titles and descriptions.

The platform provides multi-platform analytics covering audience engagement, viewer retention, unique listeners versus viewers, and cross-episode audience overlap, with an AI assistant that answers questions about performance data. It also includes AI-driven clipping that automatically identifies highlights from episodes, tests them on a dedicated YouTube channel, and promotes top performers to the creator's main channel.

Flightcast supports monetization through dynamic ad insertion, advanced ad targeting based on listen counts or time windows, and a built-in ad marketplace called Flightcast Ads that pays creators directly. It offers YouTube Sync to automatically publish YouTube videos to podcast platforms, and integrates with Megaphone so creators can retain that hosting while distributing through Flightcast. Every episode uploaded is automatically transcribed, with transcripts powering AI-generated titles, descriptions, and chapters.

The platform is used by podcast production companies and show creators seeking to manage publishing, analytics, and monetization in one place. It serves teams of varying sizes based on download volume, as reflected in its tiered subscription plans.
