About Simplecast
Simplecast is an end-to-end podcasting platform that provides hosting, distribution, analytics, and monetization tools for creators and brands of all sizes. The platform enables one-click publishing to major podcast directories including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, and Stitcher, while offering streamlined workflows that take episodes from post-production to global distribution. Simplecast powers podcasts from prominent brands like Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, TechCrunch, and Politico, as well as independent creators.
The platform features enterprise-level capabilities including IAB-certified analytics through its Audience analytics platform, which provides insights into listener behavior, geographic data, and episode sharing patterns. For monetization, Simplecast offers inventory management controls and access to the AdsWizz Marketplace, a programmatic advertising exchange. The platform also provides embeddable web players that work across site-builders, blogs, and social media, along with detailed listening analytics including speed, share points, and drop-off data.
Simplecast includes migration tools through its Show Migrator feature and offers seven-day-a-week support. With over 10 years in the industry, the platform serves both growing networks and independent creators with the same feature set used by major podcasts.
Simplecast is particularly well-suited for these use cases and audiences.
