First look: Transistor video podcast hosting

I've been making video podcasts since 2012. For years, publishing has meant uploading the video file to three different services.

Now you can upload it once. We'll publish it everywhere: YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify (Coming soon), and every podcast app that supports HLS video in RSS (Fountain, Pocket Casts, True Fans, iHeart).

It's currently in beta, and over 65 podcasts on Transistor are already using it. Watch the demo:

We're opening access in waves. Sign up with your email below and we'll reach out as soon as a spot opens up.

Who uses Transistor?

Here are some new podcasts hosted on Transistor.fm. Give them a listen!

You can submit your podcast to be featured in this newsletter. (We can't feature every submission, but we'll do our best!)

Will you be at the London Podcast Show?

Justin and Helen will be at the London Podcast Show next week. If you're in town, let us know!

PS: If you've been happy with Transistor, one thing that really helps us is when folks leave us a good review on Trustpilot. We're a small company, and every review helps!

Ask Apple to approve your account for video!

Two things you can do now to get ready for video on Apple Podcasts

During testing we noticed that one of our podcasts didn't automatically show video in the Apple Podcasts app. Apple replied saying: Not every show is automatically enabled for video.
