About Transistor
What is Transistor?
Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that lets you publish audio and video podcasts to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other directories. It solves the problem of managing distribution, analytics, and a podcast website from a single dashboard. It is best for businesses launching branded podcasts, independent podcasters wanting professional stats, and teams managing multiple shows under one account. It is not ideal for hobbyists looking for a free forever plan or those needing built-in monetization beyond dynamic ads.
How does Transistor work?
Upload your audio or video files, and Transistor generates an RSS feed, distributes your episodes automatically, and tracks downloads per episode. You also get a built-in podcast website with custom domain support, team collaboration with role-based access, optional private podcasting for internal communications, and detailed analytics including downloads by episode, location, and app.
Real use cases
Businesses use Transistor for branded podcasts to reach customers. Independent podcasters rely on its analytics to grow their audience. Teams manage multiple shows under one account, and organizations use private podcasts for internal training or paid subscribers.
