Easy Podcasting - Happy Podcasters

Acast is a super easy platform for podcasters to create, distribute, and monitor their podcast.
We’ve been using it now for almost a year and found the ease of use and customer support to be fantastic.

Acast has a win win plan for us all

Acast has given me a way to reach people with information that they will find useful or confronting and which I can tell them in an interesting way.

Acast opened that door by allowing me and you to start a podcast not only free of charge but with their freely given support from helpful staff.

Acast then broadened their generosity by allowing we podcasters to have more than one podcast with no subscription charge.

Acast doesn't know my listeners, nor do I, but we both know that while my content is useful and interesting it's not likely in the short term to bring sufficient listeners to attract advertisers. Over the longer term some of it will. But which podcast, what information? Only time will tell.

Acast has been prepared to wait in my case, as it waits for you, to let all those listeners tell us what they want, what they come back to, where even an ad wouldn't turn them away. Those insight statistics are so useful.

Acast has a plan to be a very successful company. I like it that their plan allows me and my listeners to grow with them. You can grow too.

Excellent platform to host your own…

Excellent platform to host your own podcast, especially the free plan that I use since I do not need to use a paid plan is not at all a limitation but a strong point that other platforms have not seen that you have everything you need to start and there is no limitation of number of episodes that can load I have length etc..

Acast is a must-have toolkit for my podcasts

I have been using Acast for months and my experience is great.
1) It automatically distributes my podcast episodes to other apps e.g. Spotify, YouTube, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and more. This saves us a lot of time and makes the titles/descriptions/pictures consistent across the apps.
2) it gives us important and exciting podcasting insights (e.g. number of downloads, listeners per app, their location)
3) it gives us easy access to tools to record podcasts and experiment with audio
Simply speaking, it's great!

Made the right switch

We were looking to upgrade our original host platform, and Acast definitely was the right step to take. They've made it so easy for us to organize and expand our shows by giving us all the tools we need to operate efficiently.

I have been a Marc Maron fan for many many years. I signed up the minute I thought I might get some additional, personal extras. If you check back you will see how UNSUCCESSFUL your directions have been.
I run a large company and have IT specialists available.
We have not yet been able to get the extras though I have paid for on my Amex card. I have shown proof of this numerous times.

I asked to cancel my account two weeks ago, was told that I would be put on the “free” tier. Smash cut two weeks later and hey pestro two attempts for 35 dollars happens, tried to cancel my account. Can’t without an Acast RSS feed, which I no longer have as I have left the service. Try to contact via chat, no answer. Do not use this service.

I am sorry for the negative experience when trying to cancel your Acast account and subscription.
My colleagues have verified your account and payment collection is turned off.

I will separately email you our cancelation form so we can process your request. This is necessary since the account deletion is irreversible.

best podcast hosting I’ve found

It’s one of the best podcast hosting platforms out there. Analytics, seamless distribution, and really helpful support. I’ve been podcasting for just over 6 months and my show has tripled in size with them.
