Transistor

Web-based

Owner

That I didn't find them sooner. So much wasted time on our prior solution and so much lost marketing value for missing key technical issues.

Sole Proprietor

The ability to assign them as contributors to their won shows and train them on how to post their episodes and update their information has been invaluable.

Podcast Manager & Technical Director

Been with them for years now and I love it. Technical support is responsive and they are very quick to get things answered and fixed for me if anything comes up.

Producer

Really impressed with the quality of Transistor's staff. The overall set up and pricing helps running multiple shows much easier and cheaper.

Host

And I love that you can reach out to the team and they're responsive.

Overall Transistor is very easy to use and does what you want it to do. It's by far the best podcast host I've used.

The only place it's missing for me is video integration.

Professional Podcaster

Distribution was a breeze. Easy to be setup to release to the world and start building and monitoring your audience.

The GUI is simple and pleasing, and easy to navigate.

Not 100% sure how accurate the subscriber count is.

The number is quite a bit lower for a long-running pod than the previous host had estimated. However, it's very possible that the previous host was incorrect.

I offer the podcast feed as a bonus feature of signing up for a paid subscription, and Transistor has made the process of doing this extremely simple.

Overall I am a firm believer that support is the canary in the coal mine for products. It demonstrates to me that the internal team loves the product, and this means that loving hands are making the food. Our entire team is loving the experience and we hope more people jump on board.

The Transistor experience

Premium Podcast Feed + Multiple Podcasts on One Account

Overall, Transistor has been great for my business. Fast and easy episode uploading, management and publishing. Simple to teach clients how to manage their show as well, which frees up my time!

A Great Podcast Hosting Solution, Could Use A Few Improvements 

Exceptional service. I had one minor problem with a service they provide that is otherwise amazing. In five days, they had re-programmed their system to make what was already great that much better. I have never been so stunned by customer service in my life; at least, not in a good way.

You cannot do better than Transistor.fm

Transistor was made available to us via a local network and host. we were given admin permissions to run our own shows. transistor may be the best platform for hosting a network. easy to access all your shows seperately. over the course of 2 years one of our show grew to be acquired by a large network for monetization so unfortunately we had to move to their hosting. don't pass on Transistor. distribution was a breeze. easy to be setup to release to the world and start building and monitoring your audience.

Took us to the Next Level

Conscious team and business

I love it. And I love that you can reach out to the team and they're responsive. Big plus.

I like the support a lot, we. don't ask too often but when I do, they always available. Even [sensitive content hidden] still answers a lot of it.  

Awesome platform and great founders!

Transistor has paid for itself many times over in time savings and the leads it's helped us generate through our podcast. I highly recommend it if you're starting a podcast in 2023.
