Transistor - Podcast Hosting

"Roast my Podcast" is back for another season! @jeremyenns.bsky.social and @justinjackson.ca are going live in 40 minutes. They'll look at a podcast they've never seen before and review its packaging, topic selection, and content quality. Come join live on YouTube! www.youtube.com/live/8T1VTIG...

❤️❤️❤️

I asked Claude to analyze @thepanel.bsky.social (using the @transistor.fm MCP server), and it basically told me the show's been more popular since @jordangal.bsky.social joined the show. 🤣

Podcast audiences don't care how hard you work. They just want shows that are valuable, rare, desirable, and engaging. Ultimately, you've got to make something that people want.

Big companies aren't hiring juniors anymore, which sucks for young people. This year we hired Ian, a CompSci student, as our summer intern at @transistor.fm He's been making a podcast about his experience, and just interviewed me: share.transistor.fm/s/abfc686a?c...

This year, Signal Awards is recognizing the risk-takers: podcasters pushing format, embracing experimentation, and raising the bar. The Final Entry Deadline is this Friday, June 26th. You can enter here: signalaward.com

Case study: @stephenrobles.com (Primary Technology) shipped their first video episode on April 9. Over the next 60 days, plays per episode jumped from ~9,000 plays to ~20,000 plays. transistor.fm/apple-video-...

Very excited to finally announce this: @ghost.org and @transistor.fm have teamed up so publishers can offer private podcasts to their subscribers! ghost.org/changelog/tr...

New: you can now watch video in Apple Podcasts! youtu.be/kNXcVroUQZE This could be nice for folks who want a mindful alternative to the algorithm, shorts, and ads on YouTube/TikTok/Instagram. @justinjackson.ca demoes the new features, and showcases @stephenrobles.com's video episodes.

If you're running the iOS 26.4 RC, you can watch not one, but TWO of my podcasts using the new Apple Podcasts Video feature *right now* Latest episodes of Primary Technology and Movies on the Side offer video. Let me know what you think! Huge shoutout to our host @transistor.fm for making it happen

The power of podcasts!

The @fafo.fm trailer is an excellent example of what a podcast trailer episode should be. Short, compelling, draws you in, nice energy. share.transistor.fm/s/b496ee3e

Review of the day: "I've been with Transistor for several years now, with two public podcasts and two private podcasts. The UI is easy to use with so many perks. Also, the customer service is impeccable. I LOVE Transistor." – Natalie ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

AI, algos... everything's moving so fast. But while everything's moving faster, some fundamentals are truer than ever. The highest-value algorithm is *still* word of mouth: humans telling their friends about stuff they like. Make something people love so much, they tell their friends.

A little celebration note: @jonbuda.com and I have been working on @transistor.fm together for 8 years! 🎉

We don't do sales very often, but we're doing a Black Friday sale this year! If you've been thinking about starting a podcast (or migrating your existing show), you can get 20% off our already-discounted yearly podcast hosting plans. transistor.fm

The one perk of it getting darker earlier is less time of the day where hard pants are needed. Today’s shirt is the best podcast hosting shirt you can get. #Selfie a day for a year, day 79, Nov 5, 2025 edition.

First episode is up! This week I talked to @wilbo.bsky.social about re-building his retro game collection after it was literally thrown in the garbage... share.transistor.fm/s/e141cd64

Hey podcast friends! Transistor is now on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Transistor... "For podcasters who use Transistor and for folks who want to know more about podcasting. Have a podcast question? Ask us! " We'd love to have you join us there. 👍

Nice: @matthewmedeiros.bsky.social just built a WordPress plugin for Transistor that helps you embed your podcast episodes into posts/pages. 👍 thewpminute.com/podloom/

Love this!

Many podcasters aren’t taking advantage of new Podcasting 2.0 features. We built a "Podcast Score" tool that helps you see which (PSP-supported) Podcasting 2.0 features you're using, and which ones you're missing. Test your podcast out here: transistor.fm/podcast-score/ #podcasting #podcast

Still my favorite @transistor.fm ad of all time... www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHmD...

New! @transistor.fm makes it easy to generate podcast transcripts with their built-in AI features. Great for the solo podcaster or small team that wants to make things easier! youtu.be/qTjRtUlJeTw

Hey, we've built a tool that gives you a Podcast Score, depending on how many Podcasting 2.0 features your RSS feed has. Looking for a few people to test it out before we launch: 👉 transistor.fm/podcast-score/
