Fusebox

Fusebox is a podcast hosting and web player platform founded in 2015 that serves podcasters seeking to integrate their audio content seamlessly into their websites. Originally starting as a WordPress plugin called Smart Podcast Player, the company expanded into full podcast hosting services in early 2023. Co-founded by podcasting industry figure Pat Flynn, Fusebox focuses on helping creators who use multiple channels for audience building, including websites, email lists, social media, and membership communities.

The platform provides podcast hosting services along with customizable web players that can be embedded across various online properties. Fusebox differentiates itself by emphasizing audience engagement and listening experiences rather than focusing solely on storage limits or bandwidth restrictions. The company offers multiple plan tiers to accommodate different podcaster needs and sharing strategies.

Fusebox operates as a small team by design, allowing for quick response to customer feedback and rapid feature implementation. The platform includes standard podcasting features such as directory submission tools, transcription services, and analytics, while maintaining a focus on helping podcasters leverage their content for deeper audience relationships and business growth through website integration.
