Took us to the Next Level
Transistor was made available to us via a local network and host. we were given admin permissions to run our own shows. transistor may be the best platform for hosting a network. easy to access all your shows seperately. over the course of 2 years one of our show grew to be acquired by a large network for monetization so unfortunately we had to move to their hosting. don't pass on Transistor. distribution was a breeze. easy to be setup to release to the world and start building and monitoring your audience.
PROSeasy to give admin permissions to run our own shows. transistor may be the best platform for hosting a network. easy to access all your shows seperately. distribution was a breeze. easy to be setup to release to the world and start building and monitoring your audience.

You cannot do better than Transistor.fm
Exceptional service. I had one minor problem with a service they provide that is otherwise amazing. In five days, they had re-programmed their system to make what was already great that much better. I have never been so stunned by customer service in my life; at least, not in a good way.
PROS--Automatic, seamless YouTube uploads. --A dedicated web page for your podcasts. --The ability to create and run your own ads and swap them out with pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll options. --Truly seamless switching from your previous host (I was terrified; they made it SO easy). --Easy distribution to all the podcast distributors I've ever heard of and many I hadn't. --The best customer service I've ever experience with any company, ever, hand to God. --Competitive prices. I pay the same amount I did for LibSyn and get so much more.
CONSThere is nothing I don't like about the software. It's intuitive, sleek and best of all - it works.
Reasons for switching to Transistor
LibSyn wasn't working for what I wanted to do. Basically, I just got hosting from LibSyn. At Transistor.fm, I got hosting and so many features I needed that I didn't even know I needed. For the same price.

Transistor saves me so much freaking time
Transistor has paid for itself many times over in time savings and the leads it's helped us generate through our podcast. I highly recommend it if you're starting a podcast in 2023.
PROSTransistor handles so much of the grunt work of running a podcast for us. I can't imagine trying to manage hosting our podcast files and then the distribution to Apple, Spotify, and all the other places our podcast now shows up.I was super hesitant to take up podcasting because it seemed like ‘everyone was doing it’ but the professional impact it’s had for my co-hosts and I on the Better Sign Shop podcast has been crazy. I like that the [sensitive content hidden] dogfood their own product – they run a podcast hosted on.... Transistor. And they have a lot of great content on how to start and improve your podcast on their website.I have to believe their own experiences come through in the app. It's super easy to use. It's only takes a couple minutes to upload and distribute an episode. And then I'm on to the next task on my todo list. Unlike the other podcast hosting apps I tested that seemed to be more focused solely on a "pretty" design instead of a straight forward user experience.The Transistor API is also great. We used it to pull our podcast episodes into our app so that our app users to could listen to the podcast while their were doing their work.
CONSThis is not really a knock on Transistor but more so on podcasting as a whole – podcast analytics seem like a bit of a guessing game. Probably because there's so many different players and the fact you're distributing an audio file so there's no real way to add tracking code like you can on a website. I did appreciate that they (Transistor) mention right up front that the subscriber statistics are hard to track and they provide a "best guestimate" along with an explanation of their calculation method.

Conscious team and business
Exceptional
PROSHow conscious they are. They are making me have faith again and not that everything is about profit and technicalities.
CONSThe website could be improved but that was already changed on their side and could be also better.
Reasons for switching to Transistor
Withe transistor you can have as many shows/ podcasts as you want for the same price/ subscription unlike how it is with many other hosts like Podbean

Fantastic! I love Transistor!
Fantastic. Been with them for years now and I love it. Technical support is responsive and they are very quick to get things answered and fixed for me if anything comes up!
PROSExtremely easy to use, very clean and simple interface, presents a lot of complicated data points in a simple way. Simple, flat pricing point. Has a very simple and clean web player for websites.
CONSI would love to see a feature of batch uploading a lot of episodes into the system. You can create draft episodes without a file, but you cannot upload files into a "database" and then pull from that database as necessary.
