Podbean is a podcast hosting platform that provides podcast creators with the tools and features they need to create, promote, and monetize their podcasts.

Podbean includes a free, easy-to-set-up, and highly customizable website with your account. You can brand it by editing the theme, color, text, images, etc. Or you can integrate your own domain if you want to.

Design creative and shareable podcast covers with the Covert Art Creator. Podbean allows users to embed your podcast on your websites and blogs. Its audio players are professional-looking and customizable. So, you can ensure a top-notch experience and branding whatever the destination.

There are no limits on episodes or recording time. Unlimited hosting allows you to store as many episodes as needed without worrying about fees skyrocketing. Also, Podbean automatically stores your episodes directly into the Cloud. No need for SD or USB cards.

Podbean offers three features for monetization.

Podcast Advertising: You can list your episodes directly into Podbean’s free marketplace and get found by or matched with advertisers you can do business with.
Premium Podcast: This lets you create and sell premium content to a paying audience.
Patron for Podcasters: You can add this to let your audience support your podcast with donations.

Overall, you can monetize your episodes without spending a penny on ads.

Podbean offers Podcast Studio, an app for both iPhones and Android. This moves your entire podcasting experience to your phone. It incorporates all the features to record, edit, and publish a podcast. This eliminates the need for heavy wires, complicated technology, or equipment.

Podbean’s Mailchimp integration allows you to collect subscriber email addresses and automatically share your published episodes. Thanks to the email service, you can send invitations to your guests directly from the app. This allows remote recording simultaneously because invitees can join the recording session from their phones.

Interestingly, whether on the platform or the app, Podbean records separate audio tracks for each participant. This simplifies the editing process and speeds up the final audio production.

The app and web versions also integrate with the top podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and significant podcasts) and automatically publish your sessions there. This saves you multiple uploads as the entire process is taken care of by Podbean—on autopilot.

Podbean also provides analytics. It pulls data from all the platforms people listen to your podcasts and provides clear analytics to help you understand your performance.
