About

I’ve spent more than 20 years building products at the intersection of technology, media, and audience growth. I previously cofounded Spreaker, which was acquired by iHeartMedia, and I’m now building PodView and PodSEO. PodView helps podcasters create a professional website, grow an audience they own, and improve how their content is discovered across search and AI. PodSEO helps podcast teams understand and improve their visibility across listening platforms and AI assistants. I’m interested in podcasting, SaaS, search, AI discovery, product strategy, and building useful tools for independent creators and media teams.

What is missing from today’s podcast website builders?

We ve been working on PodView, a tool that creates a complete podcast website from an RSS feed or YouTube channel.

The basic automation is straightforward. The harder question is deciding what a podcast website should become after the initial site has been generated.

Do podcasts still need their own websites?

Most podcast discovery and listening now happens inside Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and other platforms. That raises a question: does a podcast still need its own website?

My view is that a website gives creators control over their brand, search visibility, audience relationships, transcripts, guest pages, email capture, and content that listening apps cannot support very well.

We re building PodView around that idea, but I d love to hear the counterargument too.

PodView - Turn your podcast into an audience hub you own

PodView turns your podcast into a complete, automatically updated website built from your RSS feed or YouTube channel. Episodes stay synchronized automatically, with audio or video playback, transcripts, chapters and built-in SEO. Grow an audience you own through email, reviews and voicemail, understand what listeners finish or skip, and control how AI assistants describe and cite your show.
