Castopod

Castopod is an open-source podcast hosting solution for everyone. Whether you are a beginner, an amateur or a professional, you will get everything you need: create, upload, publish, manage server subscriptions (WebSub embedded server), connect to the usual directories (Apple, Google, Spotify…), connect to the Fediverse (ActivityPub, Mastodon, Pleroma…) and measure your audience (IAB 2.0 compliant) so that you can monetize your content. Take back control: interact with your audience on your plateform (like, share, comment), the social network IS the podcast. Of course you may also export to proprietary social networks(Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Facebook). Castopod can be hosted on any PHP/MySQL server: Unzip it and you and other podcasters are ready to broadcast professionally.

Free

Castopod is a free and open-source solution (AGPL v3). Whether you choose to install it on your own server or have it hosted by a professional, all your data and analytics belong to you and you only.

Social Media

Castopod is a part of Fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, PixelFed, PeerTube…). Podcasters and their audience can post, subscribe, like, comment and share natively. Millions of users already on Fediverse will be able to interact seamlessly.

Flexible

Castopod is compatible with all Podcasts players and platforms (it can automatically generate an RSS feed). Moreover Podcasters can choose to publish on Castopod while keeping their existing hosting solution (it can automatically generate posts from an existing RSS feed).
