Podchaser exists to help relevant listeners find your podcast. We built these tools to give you more control over your podcast presence and give your listeners a central destination to discover your podcast, leaving a rating & review, buy merch, and follow you.

Use this list of Podchaser tools as a checklist for your podcast. To get started, search for your podcast on Podchaser and claim your podcast’s page using the “Claim This Profile” button.

Creator Profiles

Elevate your personal brand in podcasting with your own public profile, listing all of your podcast appearances. Creator profiles power the search algorithms for popular listening apps, making you and your podcast more discoverable.

Add credits for your role as a Host, Producer, Editor, Guest, Voice Actor, and custom credits for any other contributions to a podcast.

Your new profile will appear on podcast and episode pages on Podchaser, helping listeners easily find you and discover your contributions.

To get started, head to the Creators tab on Podchaser, then click “Add a Creator Profile”.

Universal Ratings & Reviews

Offer your listeners a platform-agnostic solution to rate & review your podcast. Half of your listeners likely have Android devices, so asking them to rate & review on iTunes doesn’t do you much good. Instead, give them an easy, universal solution to rate & review your podcast.

When listeners rate your podcast on Podchaser, it will appear closer to the top of relevant search results, show up in trending lists, and give new listeners more confidence in the quality of your podcast. Reviews with the most “likes” will appear at the top of the Reviews section on your podcast page on Podchaser.

Podchaser’s easy-to-use rating form also includes the ability to add unique tags for your podcast or an episode. When reviewers add tags, your podcast will be easier to find within Podchaser when someone searches for a related topic.

Listen On a Preferred Player

When you share a Podchaser link for your podcast, listeners can choose to listen in their preferred app directly from Podchaser. Now, you no longer need to give listeners dozens of listening links when you release a new episode. Simply share your Podchaser page, and any listener can use it!

Digest Emails & Notifications

Get immediate notifications for new ratings & reviews, and a daily or weekly digest of all activity for your podcast and its episodes. This includes ratings, reviews, and saves, with more data being added in the future.

Click your account profile image, then “My Podcasts”, and “Manage” to adjust your notification settings.

Custom Badges

Create a customized Podchaser badge for your podcast’s website, linking directly to your podcast page.

Custom URL & Links

Create a custom URL for your podcast page on Podchaser to give listeners a memorable, shareable link. (eg. Podchaser.com/YourPodcastNameHere)

While you’re at it, add your social page for Facebook and Twitter, and add a custom link for your podcast’s website, donation page, store, YouTube channel, or anything else you’d like to share!

Unique Categories

You’re no longer confined to the limited category options of other platforms. Add custom categories for your podcast that will appear directly on your podcast’s page.

To update your podcast’s categories, click your account profile image, then “My Podcasts”, and “Manage”.

Merchandise

Add Merchandise from TeePublic directly to your podcast’s page on Podchaser. Give your listeners a single destination for ratings, reviews, and now merchandise!

Podchaser doesn’t take a cut of your sales, so there’s no downside here. Simply add your TeePublic store URL in your podcast’s settings to sync your TeePublic store with Podchaser. After a 1–2 day review process, your new store will appear on Podchaser.

Lists (Best Of, Topics, Guests, etc)

Create custom lists on Podchaser that include your podcast. These lists will appear on your podcast’s page, Google search results, and Podchaser search results to help more listeners discover your podcast!

To get started making your first list, head to www.podchaser.com/lists.

Following & Feed (coming soon)

Many listeners understand what you mean when you ask them to “Subscribe.” But we’re making this easier and more powerful.

Coming early 2019, “Follow” buttons will appear on podcast pages and Creator profiles. Your Followers will get updates in their new Podchaser feed when you release a new episode, appear as a guest on another podcast, help produce or edit a podcast, or contribute in any other way to the creation of a podcast.
