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

Hey podcasting friends! Transistor is doing a year-end sale on podcast hosting: 👉 Get an extra 20% off our yearly hosting plans. (Existing customers can also switch to an annual plan and get the discount) transistor.kit.com/posts/black-...

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/

If I was going to start a new podcast today, this is how I would do it: youtu.be/Zh1RTa4ISEE?...

"Vibe coding" and AI are perfect additions the open #podcast ecosystem. (I know @curry.com has been experimenting here as well) I built a custom episode artwork generator with Vercel's V0 that takes advantage of modern Podcasting 2.0 features like host and guest credits: youtu.be/IDIRfqFeZE0

Hey friends, @justinjackson.ca just built a “podcast episode artwork generator" tool here: art.transistor.fm Wondering if a few people could test it before we announce it publicly? (Note: it requires <podcast:person> in the RSS feed to work) Go podcasting! #podcasting2 cc @davejones.bsky.social

I love these photos of @jonbuda.com and me. 😆 Seven years ago, we began building @transistor.fm. Just two people with a dream. Last week, our entire team of six met up for our annual retreat. Incredibly proud (and grateful) for what we've built together. ❤️

Transistor is a remote team, so we get together once a year to spend time in person. This year we went to Banff and Canmore in Alberta! We are a small (but mighty) team of six people: Justin, Jon, Helen, Jason, Michael, and Joshua. Together, we serve over 34,000 podcasts on the platform!

Watching @james.crid.land on stage at #Podsummit here in Calgary. 👏

I'm excited to record an episode of Lenses & Lyrics with @iamthesam.bsky.social next week. Go to lenseslyrics.com to listen to past episodes and subscribe for the next episodes. Podcast hosting & website by @transistor.fm, and email powered by Flodesk. The ultimate setup for podcasting.

Want to start a podcast, but don’t know what to talk about? Just share the journey you’re on. You’re in the midst of your own “story arc;” what if you told that story? It’s real, vulnerable, and human (all things people are looking for in a podcast). #podcast

Tired of the relentless demands of creating episodes, booking guests, and managing advertiser expectations? Here's how to deal with podcaster burnout. transistor.fm/podcast-burn...

Deeply saddened to hear this news. I can’t believe it – we were all just hanging out with him in Dallas. Todd was a pillar of the podcast industry, and passionate about keeping it open. He was also feisty and opinionated! I will miss him. Just heartbreaking 💔 podnews.net/article/todd...

I know I've said it before, but I cannot get over how great it is that I can just make my own full webpages using @transistor.fm's podcast website builder. Like I am in the process of making a page and not only can I add custom CSS in the page but also JavaScript! And it's FREE!

Quick update: I moved the podcast to a new host, thanks to my pals at The Retro Network. It’s now on @transistor.fm, and y’all… I’ve migrated web content for a living. This is the smoothest move I’ve ever done. Wow. Anywho, the website’s still at adventcalendar.house, but now it’s a bit shinier. 🤩

I just launched a podcast called Wake Up Excited! I interview exuberant people and explore what it means to live a fulfilling, creative, positive life. I'd love it if you checked it out: wakeupexcited.show And I'd love it even more if you subscribed: podcast.wakeupexcited.show/subscribe

Congrats to @acquiredfm.bsky.social for being named one of TIME magazine's Top 100 podcasts of all time! 👏 time.com/collections/... Our entire team is incredibly proud to work with you; your show is truly exceptional, and you deserve all the accolades!

Now, on your Transistor podcast website, you can recommend other shows you like. Demo: saas.transistor.fm/recommended

Should we do it?

Congrats to @bretfisher.com on the launch of his new #devops podcast! 🙌 This podcast series has one question to answer: "How can we humans use non-deterministic, often hallucinating LLMs to automate our infrastructure?" agenticdevops.fm

So that's just the first announcement! I'm also THRILLED to share my new podcast called Wake Up Excited! wakeupexcited.show I interview exuberant human beings and discuss how to cultivate a positive, fulfilling, and creative life despite *waves arms* all of the things.

At @transistor.fm, we've always prioritized human-powered customer service. We think it's our #1 feature! transistor.fm/features/cus...

Very cool to see #ApplePodcasts featuring @acquiredfm.bsky.social as a part of their "20 podcasts we love" campaign: learn.applepodcasts.apple/20-podcasts-... #podcast

I love RSS + Podcasts, and there's a group of people doing everything they can to make sure RSS can support video Thanks to @transistor.fm Primary Tech is now delivering audio AND video in a single feed with open standards. Podcast apps like Fountain will soon support switching media on the fly

An HLS video equipped podcast feed allows your fans to seamlessly switch between the audio and video versions of your episode. Now, Transistor is allowing podcasters to try this feature (in beta). Apps like @truefans.social and Fountain already support this feature! youtu.be/QizK2iB5iw8

The Primary Tech podcast just enabled a new @transistor.fm beta feature: HLS video podcast streaming. An HLS-equipped podcast allows fans to switch between the audio and video versions of your episode. The best part: it works with the current open-RSS standard. Thanks @stephenrobles.com! ❤️

You can now recommend other podcasts to your listeners directly from your Transistor dashboard. Whether it's your friend's show, your other podcast, or just a show you think your audience would ❤️. These also show up on @pocketcasts.com and @truefans.social! youtu.be/65dePyrn_aQ...

Just updated my graphs of @transistor.fm 's monthly reported stats to include the month of June. - Apple Podcasts retakes the #1 share at 40.09% - Overcast with its highest-seen share thus far: 2.10% livewire.io/transistor-s...

If you're looking for inspiration for your podcast website, we've assembled a gallery of designs here: transistor.fm/podcast-webs...

"If 80% of businesses fail, how can you increase your chances?" It's been 7 years since @jonbuda.com and I started building our SaaS, @transistor.fm. Over that time, I've learned some counterintuitive lessons. I shared it all with Nathan Barry at @kit.com studios: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHkk...

Awesome to see this hosted on Transistor! 🙌

We're huge transistor fans (@talkingpostgres.com). Looking forward to listening!

These @bsky.app-powered podcast comments work so good. ❤️ panelpodcast.com/11#comments

Today we're releasing a brand new podcast website theme designed for faith-based organizations (churches), and non-profits. (We also think this would make a great website design for a school, university, college) It's called Beacon, and it's available now. transistor.fm/changelog/ne...

I am leaving SoundCloud after 12 years. I tried Mixcloud but it didn’t work. Now, finally, I have found the right fit: a small platform with real people, and a customer service that goes well beyond expectations. They are called @transistor.fm and ❤️ 🎧 I AM IN LOVE! Find me => talktome.transistor.fm

YouTube just released a "top podcasts" chart: charts.youtube.com/podcasts As a comparison, here are the top charts from other players: Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/charts Spotify: podcastcharts.byspotify.com @pocketcasts.com : lists.pocketcasts.com/popular

The Transistor team is heading to the @podcastshowldn.bsky.social in London! Let us know if you'd like to meet up! 👋 #PodShowLDN

This little UI widget in @transistor.fm is so good. Personally, I use it 2-3x per day for transcribing different things. The ability to quickly download an SRT file, or view the transcript as text or HTML, is <chef's kiss> perfect.

Recording a podcast episode and publishing it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc is easy with @riversidefm.bsky.social + Transistor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ueV...

Very cool! @transistor.fm is now publishing monthly data about the top apps they see playing podcasts they host. Of course I had to start plotting these numbers so we can easily spot trends over time as they develop. Check out the new graphs over here: livewire.io/transistor-s...

So I started a podcast hosted on @transistor.fm. Just random thoughts and ideas about whatever I'm working on at the moment. Take a listen! roughcutdeveloper.com
