We Make Podcasting Easy
Podcast Hosting and a Website
All in One Place
Why Do Most Podcasts Fail?
Podcasting can be a hassle. Uploading your podcast to one service. Renting a player from another. Paying two separate bills each month. One to host your podcast files and another for your podcast website. Having to log into 3 or more accounts, just to publish a new show. No wonder most podcasts never make it past 7 episodes.
Most podcasters are doing things the hard way.
There Has to Be a Better Way
You need an easier way to get your podcast out there. You need one service that covers all your bases. You shouldn't need more than one account to broadcast your podcast. Pressing "Publish" once should upload your episode, update your website, and stream it straight into your listener's ears.

BlastPod Service Plans
Podcasters have a variety of needs when it comes to upload limits. BastPod never re-encodes your files. This gives you full control of your audio quality. Whether you do a weekly podcast, a daily podcast, or run a network of podcasts, we've got you covered.
Most podcasters mix their podcasts down in stereo, at 128k. This gives you a file size of about 1 MB per minute of audio. Meaning, 30-minute episodes will be around 30 MB in file size. Hour-long shows will come out to just under 60 MB.
With the Silver Tier, you'll be able to publish 8 (eight) 30-minute episodes per month, or 4 (four) hour-long episodes per month. If you mix your podcast down in mono, you'll cut your file size in half, and be able to double your monthly uploads.
Now that you know what to expect, which plan is the best for you?

What Users Are Saying
"Before I started using BlastPod, I was struggling to build a relationship with my audience. I did not have a reliable podcast host or a professional looking website.
However, now that I’m signed up with BlastPod, I can confidently send future listeners and guests to my website.
I’m loving the new Disqus widget. Listeners can comment and share their thoughts about each episode, enabling me to have direct communication with my audience."
-Drew Sample
The Sample Hour
"Podcasting became an itch I needed to scratch. I knew I would regret it if I didn't at least give it a shot. I struggled to get started for over a year, but just kept hitting brick walls. I just didn't have all the tools, time investment or money to pull it all together.
Then I heard Nathan talking about Blastpod, his entrepreneurial project. I jumped at the chance to do business with a real person, rather than some huge, faceless company with little accountability. My website and feed were published in under a week and I was off and running!
Nathan and his team are always working on new features to help my podcast grow. I've received top notch-advice, guidance and help with a personal touch. I've been putting podcasts out for half a year now with ease.
It's my pleasure to highly recommend this service."
