Transistor Reviews & Product Details

After testing transistor for a few minutes, I'm just sold to the platform. Pretty simple and good UI that helps me navigate and understand the platform better. Distribution, uploading and viewing analytics are just wow!! The tool looks simple, but trust me it's a powerful one if used in a right way!

So far nothing, if they have made the Apple podcast distribution simpler then there's nothing more that I could ask for from the platform

1. It helps us distribute our podcast in various mediums 2. It also helps us to view the performance metric of each season, each episode. 3. Stable and Reliable UI 4. Good and responsive Support team

Service client de qualité et très réactif, les landing pages sont très utiles !

Les landings pages ne sont pour l'instant pas très personnalisables

Devoir mettre en ligne nos podcasts en plusieurs clics

Transistor allows podcast creators to create multiple shows on one account easily. The feature has been essential for me as a university professor who creates a new podcast series of lectures for every new class I teach. With Transistor.fm I pay one monthly fee and can set up as many shows (or in my case, classes) as I need to. Another feature that Transistor.fm has is the ability to quickly and easily submit your podcast to all the different repositories (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, etc). It took me less than 10 min to have my podcast submitted to all the directors I wanted.

I've been using Transistor.fm for over a year now, and I can honestly say there is nothing I don't like about the service.

The big problem I had before I was using transistor was having to hobble together lots of different services and/or accounts on one service to create podcast-lectures for my students to listen to. With Transistor.fm I'm able to do all the work in one spot, with one account.

The ultimate reason I went with Transistor is because their plans are priced based on the number of downloads you receive rather than the number of shows you have. I really like the idea of charging based on your show's success rather than your initial idea. After starting my free trial, and created my first show, I immediately fell in love with how easy to use their interface was. They integrate with a number of email services, auto-submit your show to most of the top podcasting platforms, and recently added Zapier and a developer API for integrating with anything else you could imagine.

The one feature that I initially had difficulty with is their built-in website builder. It's a little limited and was difficult to style nicely. But they also offer an embeddable HTML player and simple social media landing page as well, so really you could always utilize those to build a standalone landing page for your show too.

Transistor.fm is a podcasting host, so this product creates a feed for your podcast episodes so they can be accessed by podcast players like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Breaker, and all others.

This is an extraordinary company in terms of how they encourage and enable creators at every level with a particular emphasis on individuals and organizations new to podcasting

Across the board my experience has been excellent.

Transistor has enabled my company to launch an independent and diverse podcast network and even recently launched a monetization program.

Very easy to use, great support, analytics update lightning-quick.

Had a real hard time getting the website set up, but that was self-inflicted DNS issues. The docs weren't great at helping me resolve them, but they've since updated them.

We're publishing our podcast about our business startup journey, and being able to easily put that out there without adding effectively a second job really helps.

Unlimited Podcasts, Unlimited Storage, Unlimited Bandwidth, Great interface! Excellent Audio Player

Would prefer unlimited downloads and would love to see a way to broadcast live.

Transistor is the perfect podcast host when you compare it to everything else that is available. Honestly, at first it seems "too good to be true" and typically in life this is the case. However, with Transistor, it is not too good to be true because it is in fact, true! Unlimited Podcast shows, unlimited storage and bandwidth, and only $19/month for 15,000 downloads. There are upgraded plans for those who have a larger audience of course. However, for starters, and those still growing, it is a perfect plan! The interface is insanely easy to use and uploading audio files is quick and simple. Managing the podcast is easy and the stats that are provided are great. I was using a service that while it had unlimited storage and bandwidth, it did not provide unlimited podcasts. Also, I love the simple way in which one can distribute a podcast to the major players in the podcast world like Itunes, Spotify, and Google, etc. I love the fact that Transistor does not downgrade the audio file to a lower quality. The sound is a dream! If I were to have a wish list item, I would love to see Transistor add video as an option at some point too. Being able to house all of my audio and video under their roof would be an absolute win!

Works great with our three person workflow

The hosted podcast pages are only customisable in limited ways.

We need a reliable RSS feed, and reliable analytics.

When I started looking for a better way to manage my podcasts, I was spread across two different tools - Anchor.fm and Podbean. I was able to quickly migrate my two podcasts over and start that process with only a little pain when dealing with distribution platforms like Spotify and Apple. I reached out to the support crew and within minutes had answers to some of my questions with details that got me moving the right direction. And as other issues cropped up here or there, the support staff (even on weekends) has been able to jump on and help me get things working again. The suite of tools is impressive, but the support staff is stellar.

Honestly nothing. This platform offers everything I could want for managing multiple podcasts and I look forward to exploring it further!

I came to Transistor with two pre-existing podcasts. One on Anchor.fm and one on Podbean. I didn't have an easy way of managing both of them in a single location and Transistor provides that out of the box. In addition, my Podbean podcast was woefully underdistributed because that platform made such efforts very manual in implementation. As such, migrating over to Transistor enabled me to share old episodes with new audiences quickly and easily.

It's really easy to get started with Transistor, and they automatically take care of a lot of the steps of setting up and distributing a podcast. I've previously used Libsyn and found Transistor to be much smoother out of the box. I love that they include a website for the podcast.

There isn't anything I dislike per se, but it would be nice if Transistor had email list capabilities built-in so I don't need a separate ConvertKit account to communicate with our subscribers.

Transistor makes it easy to publish and grow a podcast. We got up and running very quickly.

Transistor makes it simple to quickly and easily distribute your podcast. Some of my favorite features are the analytics dashboard, and the "done for you" landing page.

No obvious downsides. A fellow podcasters switched from another service to Transistor, and he did notice that his "downloads" number decreased. We believe this was because the other service was incorrectly reporting numbers.

As previous mentioned, the greatest benefit is the ease of podcast distribution.

Transistor is one of those products that you don't notice you're using. It's intuitive. It does what it says it does. And the best part is that you don't have to worry about submitting to other podcast players (Spotify, Overcast, etc.) It does it all for you.

I can't really think of one thing that I dislike about it.

With Transistor I know that my episodes will stream all over the world without any lags. Their team is incredible and I know they take care of the itty bitty details that I don't have to worry about. All I have to do is record my episode, upload it to Transistor, and hit Submit.

Being new to podcasting I didn't know much about where to start. Transistor had really thoughtful blog posts that helped me as I was picking up equipment, planning my first episodes, and sharing my first creations. Once I finished creating my first episode I was delighted at how I could upload it and see it showing up in different podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

I haven't found much that has caused me frustration or friction. Transistor allows you to create a website or embed a podcast player. The podcast player they provide is well-designed, although you cannot customize the exact colors, it comes in light and dark theme and look good.

I see podcasting as another touchpoint for my network. So far I've been able to use this platform as a great way to host the conversations I'm having with other that have like-minded goals

Transistor has made my experience hosting multiple podcasts an absolute dream! I host multiple public and private podcasts with Transistor so I can speak to several different scenarios – all of which are completely pain-free with Transistor. Public podcast as a solo host: Standard setup and Transistor's UI makes it easy for me to upload my show, add show notes, host a website, and give visitors a simple way to subscribe. Public podcast as a co-host: My co-host and I both love Transistor and collaborating on show notes while an episode is in "Draft" mode prior to publishing is as easy as can be. Private podcasts: As a product consultant, I often run user experience interviews for my clients. I've used Transistor's private podcast feature to make the interviews available in a secure feed so that my clients and I can listen back to the customer interviews using the podcast player of our choice. It's very effective! In every scenario, Transistor has made hosting my shows simple, secure, and affordable. I'll be using them for a long time!

Mobile layout was bad for a while but now it's completely fixed.

I've been trying to elevate my public profile for a while and hosting my podcast on Transistor has taken the admin/maintenance side of the equation completely off my plate. I have to show up and do the work of creating content (obviously), but I never have to worry about my podcast going down or my host making my life difficult. It couldn't be any easier!
