Today, we are excited to launch two exciting distribution updates for every Sounder creator. The first is the creation of a new Distribution tab. This enables everyone to see which podcast listening apps currently distribute their show and choose new channels for distribution. The second is updates to our podcast creation and episode publishing flow. This enables creators to start a new podcast and publish an episode faster than ever before using Sounder.

While Spotify, Apple, and Google account for 61% of all podcast listeners, having your podcast distributed to the other top listening apps maximizes your show’s reach by making it discoverable for listeners on those platforms (aka the remaining 39%).

With today’s launch of the distribution tab for all Sounder creators, you can now:

• See the top 15 platforms where you can distribute your podcast on one clean page


• See which platforms you have/have not distributed your show to


• Distribute and/or claim your show on any streamer in a few clicks


• Collect streaming data across all listening platforms into your one Sounder dashboard 

Also, in the spirit of improving the efficiency of creators on our platform, we’ve also updated the steps for creating a show and publishing episodes. You can now launch your show with only the four key requirements for your RSS feed: cover art, show title, description and category. All other fields can be added optionally or after your show is live.

Episode creation is also more flexible. You can add in your episode’s headline, description, and other details before uploading your audio to better prepare for your release, as well as edit your monetization settings before publishing.
