No Time or File Size Limits
Say goodbye to worrying about time limits or having to split your content into multiple parts. Whether you want to dive deep into engaging conversations, explore in-depth topics, or create epic storytelling experiences, our unlimited podcasting time empowers you to express yourself fully.
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.
Single Promo Link
A memorable link that you can direct people to so that they can subscribe to your podcast in their podcast app of choice, on any device. All visits to this link are tracked and you can even see which apps people choose to listen in!
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.
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.
Unlimited Episodes
With unlimited podcast episodes, you have the flexibility to experiment with different formats, explore new ideas, and evolve your show over time. Expand your podcast library, build a comprehensive archive, and keep your listeners engaged with fresh and exciting episodes.
Never worry about your "plan" not being big enough or needing to upgrade to publish something new!
Unlimited Podcast Uploads
Never worry about running out of storage space, having to delete older episodes, or being charged for your file uploads.
Whether you're a seasoned podcaster with a vast catalog or just starting out focus on producing high-quality episodes and building a loyal audience, while we handle the storage logistics.
Dynamic Show Notes Builder
Save hours per week with Captivate's Dynamic Show Notes Builder, making creating discoverable and useful show notes so much more efficient.
By pulling in data from across your podcast dashboard (such as episode plans, guest details, research links, marketing, and sponsor links), Captivate will automatically construct useful show notes and publish them to your podcast episodes.
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!
Official WordPress Plugin
A free WordPress plugin offering complete integration between your Captivate podcast hosting and your custom WordPress website.
Captivate Sync™ is Captivate's free WordPress podcasting plugin that allows you to easily link your WordPress website to your Captivate podcast hosting account, and seamlessly publish from one platform to the other whilst keeping everything synchronised.
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!
