Simplecast has been a great tool for us to host, distribute, and promote our weekly Football podcast. We are all big fans of it and will continue to be customers.

I wish that as a part of the recast tool it would include the option for subtitle in the video.

We have a weekly podcast and we need a host and a way to get our show out to our listeners.

In addition to facilitating the production of promotional videos for podcasts, the user interface is intuitive and uncomplicated, the initial setup procedure is brisk and needs very little time, and it is a delight to post podcasts.

It is strongly suggested that you update your membership to access more features. At first glance, the dashboard's operations could seem perplexing. It would be beneficial if there were built-in art that was of a higher quality.

Straightforward distribution from there to podcast distributors such as Spotify, amongst others. Working with Simplecast increases your ability to create simple casts with easy distribution.

Their embeddable players are some of the nicest (and smoothest) I've seen and used. You also get detailed stat analysis for anyone who uses it. I also use their Recast app that helps you to create short video clips to promote your podcast on social media. Recast is a public social sharing feature that you or anyone else create short clips of your episodes to share. It’s intuitive and easy to use and I love that this is built-in – no need for third-party apps to create video soundbites. When you’re just getting started, it’s a big plus to have a nicely designed website that doesn’t require a lot of tweaking. They have light and dark themes, or you can customize the color to match your branding, as well as choose different layout options.

To get advanced stats you have to upgrade your plan. Some aspects of the dashboard can be confusing at first, A built-in transcription service would be welcomed. Other hosting services let you host as many different podcasts as you want for one price, while you’ll have to pay for each show on Simplecast.

I host my design podcast on SimpleCast because I like the look & feel of their embedded player. The interface is well designed and I find the Audience Overview offers at-a-glance analytics I need to understand my show’s performance.

I like the User Interface, it's very practical and easy to use. It supports OGG which guarantees quality during the audio broadcasting. I know other formts are supported as well, including MP3 and MP3pro, which is very good for all kind of professionals (or not) in this area. It supports and communicats very well with the server I'm currently using.

I haven't seen any deslike in the tool. One of the big problems is the delay in broadcasting audio over the internet. But I think this is related to the server itself, not the program that we are using. If there is something realted to this that could be improved from the software's standpoint, that would be much appreciated.

With SimpleCast, I can see what people are connected. I can use statistics to see whether people like content of my radio or not. I use the software to broadcast with quality and excelence all of my programs.

I like that you get to see the analytics of each episode in different dashboards, even a worldwide map!

Sometimes episodes take like 30 mins to upload, I've used other podcast players that take from 5 to 10 mins.

No more wonky analytics

SimpleCast which is now SAM Cast supports streaming in MP3, mp3PRO, Ogg and WM9 (Windows Media 9), which is very positive for me. I can encode audio in multiple bitrates and multiple formats for multiple types of servers simultaneously. It also supports SHOUTcast server.

One of the disavantages is that there is a delay while streaming. I've observed the delay reached around 95 seconds, which is really an abnormal value when we are talking about live broadcasting.

I am able to broadcast live audio from events and live poadcasts, like a real radio broadcaster. Furthermore, it is possible to know in real time how many people are listening to your stream. And I use these to interact with people.

We chose Simplecast because they're easy to use and reasonably priced, offered unique social sharing functionality (Recast), and were recommended to us by another podcaster.

We were promised that the new version of the Simplecast platform would eliminate the downsides we saw (limited analytics, etc.) when we first subscribed, and that it would be delivered about a month after we signed on. That initial promise was for delivery in August of 2018. It's now April of 2019, and we STILL don't have the new version (though others do, and all new members have it by default). I've had to reach out to support several times to get updated timelines, and they've always under-promised and missed their own updated deadlines, requiring me to reach out repeatedly. Finally, I've been told that we can be migrated, but it comes with several caveats no one warned us about beforehand (including limited sponsor visibility in the new platform, which we can't reconcile for our sponsors because they've been promised more; removed support for custom CSS on our podcast website via SImplecast; and others). As a marketer for a software company, it baffles me how much misinformation we've been fed about this release -- from the timeline (which is now 8 MONTHS off of what we were first promised) to the migration process and the limitations of the new setup. At this point I have very little trust in the Simplecast team, and thus can't in good conscience recommend them to others. We've invested in this platform and it appears we're stuck with a dud until they get their development roadmap together.

We have a platform for publishing a professional podcast, sharing to popular podcast apps/channels, and housing our shows.

The page is super easy to navigate and it distributes our podcast to every platform from one stop.

I have not run into any issues with simplecast.

One of our clients has a podcast and we use simplecast to distribute one episode to every podcast platform.

We use SimpleCast to upload our radio show and it's very simply to use! We use it every day since we produce content every day; very useful.

It can be buggy at times, but overall, it is very reliable. I wish there were a few more features that the application had, but it honestly meets all of the things that we need it to do for our operation.

Distributing our radio show. Prior to using it we had no way of getting out podcasts out there, but SimpleCast has allowed us to reach a far greater audience than before.

The software hand holds you through most of the steps for publishing an episode. The initial set up for a new podcast may take a little more investment in focus and time, but that is always true when you do something new

The different graphic sizes used on the recast and the cover art.

One-stop shop for hosting my podcast. Easy distribution from there to spotify, apple, google and other podcast distributors.

SimpleCast is a simple, straightforward option to get your Podcast published and available to your audience. They offer RSS feeds, solid analytics, and they allow you to easily ensure that your audience never misses an episode.

It would be great if there were more options for customizing your site with Themes. There currently is a default theme with a few options for changing colors and light versus dark. That being said, being able to modify the look of your page in a greater way could help you to differentiate your Podcast even more.

When we kicked off our Podcast, we didn't have many resources or much "know-how" when it came to distribution. Simplecast allowed us to get things up and running without needing to invest more outside of recording our episodes.

Simple platform, easy to get up and running, easy to publish podcasts

Podcast site goes down all the time without any notice or explanation. They can't seem to keep their custom domain feature working. I went with Simplecast primarily for the custom domain and custom site function - and it does not work reliably. Deal breaker - I'm now looking for a replacement

Simple way to publish a podcast. I've realized the benefit of that, except the site doesn't work reliably. That's a deal breaker for me. I've used them for over a year, they've had time to keep their web site serving up and fix reliability issues and haven't done it.
