Transistor takes care of the distribution, online presence and analytics of all of my podcasts. I only have to worry about creating the content which is a difficult enough task as it is, but using Transistor frees me up to focus on this and this alone.

The ability to spin up multiple shows without additional costs or very much effort was a big selling point for me. This is becoming more ubiquitous in the podcasting space, but Transistor does a fine job of making the UI seamless and the experience frictionless. I've used other hosting in the past, and this is an area where the co-founders certainly shine--it's clear that they have spent a lot of time making the interfaces clean, usable and intuitive. In the 15 or so months that I've been on the platform, I've already seen one major overhaul on the UI which improved upon an already excellent user experience. Justin & Jon are practitioners in the podcasting space themselves, and host a show which I followed for some months before signing on with them. It's always good to be using a product in a space in which it's clear the owners are experts themselves. Support (of which I've used for only a couple things) has been excellent. Their documentation is solid, and on the few occasions where I've reached out for specific issues, responses have been swift and helpful. I suspect I will utilize their private podcast feeds feature at some point, but I don't have experience with it yet. However, specifically for business use cases, this is a huge selling point as well. Having privately accessible feeds is becoming more common with companies' internal podcasting and messaging, and I can see this being a useful (and huge) feature that I use eventually. Twitter links share nicely with a mini podcast player. Auto-generated website for each shows is a great feature if you don't want to fool with building your own site. Analytics are well done and easy to read--they've focused on the most valuable ones for advertisers, and also allowed linking up to 3rd party analytics. Onboarding my shows from their old feeds was seamless too--everything pulled over easily. For new show creation, they've synced up with all the major providers to really simplify getting your podcast listed everywhere. In many places, one click will submit your show to the right place. And it's nice to be a part of what I know to be a small, tight-nip founder team. This ethos goes well in the podcasting space imo.

The I like how it handles everything, it gives helpful analytics connects to the podcast platforms really easily and even generates a website for me!
