Podbean offers Quick and Easy management of all your podcasts.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Podbean to host and publish multiple podcasts. Podbean is a great solution for our podcast hosting because it takes all of the guesswork out of the whole process of uploading and sharing our podcasts. It has tools to quickly submit podcasts to many services like iTunes and Google Play. It also has a player that can be embedded directly into web pages. It also has helpful analytics so I can see how many people are listening to each podcast episode.
Pros
- Easy upload and management of podcast episodes.
- Easy process of submitting shows to podcast apps and services.
- Player to embed into web pages.
- Useful analytics information.
- Easy to host multiple shows.
Cons
- Better analytics data. I would like to know what players people are using most.
- More obvious limitations of number of podcasts allowed in each pricing tier. Saying Business has unlimited number of podcasts is misleading if that is for unlimited private podcasts and only 2 public.
