Connect Your Own Domain Name for Free
Connecting your own custom domain name not only enhances your podcast's credibility but also makes it easily discoverable across various platforms.
Your Custom Domain is also used for your branded Short Links as well as your Captivate Website and all of your membership, tipping & subscription pages.
Beautiful, Embeddable & Shareable Podcast Player
Usefully beautiful on every device. The Captivate Podcast Player is embeddable and customizable to give your listeners a fantastic yet easy-to-use experience across your own website and social platforms. Make it your own with your branded colors and easily integrate shareable timestamps and HTML embeds, all built with accessibility in mind.
Simple Embeddable Episodes
Captivate makes it easy for you to embed your podcast on your own website and brand it according to your website's theme.
When listeners use your embedded web player, you'll also get even more deep-dive analytics about your listeners and their behavior, including how long they listen to your show and the most replayed portions of your episode!
Measurable Marketing Links
Your Marketing Links library is a convenient place to store all of your podcast-related marketing links, such as social media, monetization or podcast directory links, for easy access and also to help "feed" other parts of Captivate such as your podcast player, free Captivate Site, and Single Promotional Link.
IAB-Certified Podcast Analytics
As the podcast industry continues to develop and evolve, the one thing that we are dedicated to as a podcast hosting platform is of course, the accuracy of your podcast analytics.
We are passionate about getting closer to the people listening, not just the number of file downloads that your podcast receives and that’s why, Captivate, is proud to say that we are IAB-certified as a podcast analytics provider.
Quickly & Easily Distribute Your Podcast Everywhere, with a Single Click
Podcast distribution is a vital part of podcasting. Making your show available in as many outlets as possible gives you the best possible chance to reach new listeners across the globe, on any device.
Captivate's distribution center takes away all of that confusion and makes it easy (and free!) to submit your podcast to every directory in the world, with handy quick links for submission (and one-click submission for the podcast platforms that support it.)
Measurable Short Links
Turn long external URLs from sponsors or your own marketing strategy into short, branded and memorable links.
Visits to these links are fully tracked, giving you an insight into how your promotions, affiliate traffic and other important links are performing.
Granular Podcast Team Access
You can add unlimited team members to your podcasting team at no charge with Captivate and grant each team member the specific permissions that they need, and only those.
When you create a podcast with Captivate, you automatically become the owner of that show. You are then able to add additional team members giving them their own unique permission and access levels at no extra cost.
Hassle-Free RSS Feeds
The unique URL for your podcast RSS feed is the feed that you will submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc within the Distribute section of your Captivate dashboard. You can copy this to your clipboard by clicking Copy or clicking Copy Feed URL in the blue show header of your Captivate dashboard.
Unlock extra functionality with Podcast 2.0’s RSS Enhancements and don't worry about the technicalities of "creating an RSS feed" - we do all of this for you, automatically.
Time Saving Integrations
From email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp to podcast transcription services like Descript to online recording platforms like Squadcast, our easy-to-set-up partner integrations will extend your podcasting capabilities and optimize your workflow.
You can even connect Captivate to Zapier to supercharge your entire workflow!
Bulk Ad Editor
For the busy, serious podcaster and producer, Captivate has four innovative bulk editing tools making it super easy to manage pre, post and mid-roll content across your entire podcast library!
Ad Painter
Replace old baked-in content with new, dynamic content using Captivate's bulk ad painter technology.
Simply paint over your old audio and either upload replacement snippets or ask Captivate to dynamically insert something - perfect for getting rid of old adverts or out-of-date content without re-editing your episode!
