Simplecast

Simplecast is an end-to-end podcast hosting, distribution, analytics, and monetization platform for creators, networks, and brands. It supports one-click publishing to major directories such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, and Stitcher, and offers an API for custom integrations. Clients have included Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, TechCrunch, and Politico, alongside independent podcasters.

The platform's Audience analytics tool provides IAB-certified listener data, including geographic information, listening environment, episode-sharing trends, and drop-off points. Monetization features include inventory management controls and access to the AdsWizz programmatic advertising marketplace. Simplecast also provides embeddable, oEmbed-ready web players compatible with site builders, blogs, and social platforms, along with a built-in website builder supporting custom domains and HTTPS.

Additional tools include a Show Migrator for transferring podcasts from other hosts, multi-user account permissions for teams managing one or more shows, and a REST API (version 2.0) that lets developers build custom publishing, analytics, or listening applications. Simplecast offers seven-day-a-week customer support and has operated in the podcasting industry for over a decade, serving both independent creators and larger podcast networks with the same core feature set.
