This isn't going to be a massively detailed review just yet but I wanted to get it done to let you know how amazing BCast is in case you're on the fence about this deal.

If you're looking for your first podcast host or if you want to get more from your current podcast then this is absolutely a deal worth jumping on. I've contacted support through the chat widget a couple of times and the response was great. I had an onboarding call with Tom this morning where we talked about the platform. If you've ever bought a deal, redeemed it, and wondered why you've not had so much as an onboarding email then you'll love being able to chat with the founder one to one with Zoom. That personal touch makes a huge difference, so thank you Tom for taking the time to introduce yourself and get to know me.

The fact that you can add audio inserts (ads, your own CTAs/promo messages, anything!) made me get this deal and the webhooks made it that little bit sweeter and so much easier to get new subscribers. They can drop an email to yourpodcast@bcast.email and they're in. You're not limited to a single email address either. For me, I've added two so far. One email address is for the main list and a second just for a specific competition I'm running on the show. I'll be playing around with features to see what else can be done, or I'll wait to see what someone far more clever than me comes up with instead.

One handy feature that I wasn't aware of until after I'd bought the codes is the ability to notify a guest when their episode goes live. That's a pretty cool and saves time!

I've bought three codes and cannot wait to try out all of the features. My show (only 10 episodes) has been imported to BCast easily and I'm waiting for Apple & Spotify etc to amend the feed. CNAME took seconds to go live.

If you don't have a podcast website you'll get one with BCast. You can stick that on a domain or use the free one. I don't plan to use it but it's nice and simple and easy to use. The player is branded but that doesn't bother me and you can add your affiliate link to the player so that if anyone does sign up for BCast from your show you get paid.

I was actually happy with my podcast hosting provider and have never really had an issue or a reason to move. I'd never heard of it but found it through Reddit and fell in love. Just $5 per month, nice UI, and it was simple to use for getting my show out. I felt a little guilty even looking at another podcast host but it's a good move that looks like it's only going to get better.

One minor thing is that the title link on the single episode page links to podcast..com instead of my show but I'll report it and I'm sure they'll get it fixed.

More documents are in the pipeline but it's pretty simple to do what you need to. It would be great to see a load of integrations in the future too.

Well done Tom and team for creating something so useful! I'm looking forward to watching BCast develop.
