Acast Adds 31,000 Podcasts to Podchaser

RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, November 4, 2021

Acast has announced a new partnership with podcast and creator database Podchaser. As of today, all 31,000 Acast-hosted podcasts will be automatically submitted to Podchaser - ensuring all these shows are accurately represented in Podchaser with the most up-to-date information.

Instead of gathering cover art, show descriptions and hosting details for these podcasts from submitted RSS feeds, Podchaser will now get this information directly from Acast. Podchaser has been called "the IMDB of podcasts", offering rating and reviews, creator and guest credits, user-curated playlists, and more.

"We're always looking for new ways to help our podcasters grow their audience, and having Acast podcasts properly represented within Podchaser means even more visibility and exposure for those creators," said Stacey Goers, Product Manager at Acast. "Podchaser also gives creators the opportunity to engage with fans outside of podcast listening apps, further supporting the open ecosystem while helping podcasters build deeper connections."

"At Podchaser, we believe in giving podcasters the tools they need to grow their show and connect with listeners," said Bradley Davis, CEO at Podchaser. "Through this partnership, Acast-hosted podcasts can easily receive and reply to reviews, add credits, add custom categories, create lists, and more, to boost their organic discoverability."
