Anchor overview

What is Anchor?

Anchor is a podcast hosting software designed to help businesses create, monetize, and distribute podcasts on a centralized platform. Supervisors can manage RSS feeds and automatically distribute podcast episodes across various applications, such as Spotify, Pocket Casts, and more.

Anchor provides a dashboard, which allows organizations to gain an overview of podcast performance based on specific applications. Managers can track average listening time and view audience breakdown according to aggregated gender, geolocation, age, and other metrics. It also lets users arrange audio clips in specific segments and add transitions according to requirements.

Anchor enables businesses to import audio or video files on the platform and record audio from multiple devices, including phones, tablets, or computers. The software also helps users generate custom cover arts and invite co-hosts and guests to facilitate collaboration and improve listeners’ experience.
