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.
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.
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.
