Podbean overview

What is Podbean?

Podbean is designed to help businesses create and publish online podcasts, promote marketing campaigns, and live stream audio shows via a unified platform. It offers a custom website, which enables users to personalize the interface with built-in themes to upload audio files or schedule episodes.

The application allows content creators to embed podcasts into various websites and blogs and automatically share posts across multiple social media channels including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and more. Administrators can use Podbean to respond to audience’s comments, view followers, and follow other artists. Professionals can utilize the mobile applications to record and edit podcast episodes, add background music or sound effects, and streamline post-production activities using Android and iOS devices.

Podbean supports integration with an email marketing solution, Mailchimp, which enables users to collect email addresses of audiences and automatically share new episodes with subscribers via email. Other features include marketing, user management, customer engagement, analytics, data import/export, and more.
