Overview
Libsyn has been running since 2004 and distributes to every major podcast directory with a storage-per-month pricing model that rewards consistent publishers. AdvertiseCast, its built-in ad marketplace, connects mid-to-large shows directly with advertisers without a third-party broker. Content marketers focused on monetizing an established audience will find the sponsorship tools more mature than most hosts offer.
