A happy customer of Podbean

I have been using Podbean for over ten years, to publish church services, once a week. Podbean's process is smooth and reliable. I have limited familiarity with computers and posting. Podbean makes the process easy, and has quickly answered any questions I had.

Podbean is easy and intuitive, with great customer support

Podbean is extremely easy and intuitive to use, and if you experience any issues, they are very responsive, which is the opposite of what we all have come to expect from most companies like this. Highly recommend!

I wish I had switched to Podbean years ago

I love Podbean. I wish I had switched my podcast, Riding The Wild Bubble, over to Podbean a long time ago! The platform is so user friendly and the support is excellent, if you have a question or issue.

Best in class!!

Best in class!! I have used Podbean as my primary podcasting hub since 2021. The tech support, the stability of the platform, the listening to user feedback, the ease of using the platform and the range of tools including customization tools are unmatched. I highly recommend Podbean.

I should have done this sooner.

I kinda thought most podcast hosting sites offered the same thing, nope. I did a lot of research before switching to Podbean. I am already happier and very impressed with the customer support. That means everything to a small podcaster. They guided me, with a real person, through the curveballs during the transfer and I do love the ability to customize my landing page. I wish I would have done this sooner.

Very easy to use this service

Very easy to use this service. I was able to signup to advertise on multiple podcasts and create an audio ad. Customer service provided excellent assistance as well.

I'll be using Podbean for a long time to come!

Podbean is not only easy and straightforward to work with on a daily basis, but its learning sections and support team are quick, clear ,and invaluable. I feel completely confident in hosting my podcast here for a long time to come!

If you have a Podcast, You need Podbean!

I switched to Podbean because it mirrored the simple workflow I had with a platform called Swell (which is no longer in service). I record only with my phone, so I needed a UI that I could feel comfortable navigating. Podbean has all the features I had with the previous platform and more! One of my favorite aspects is being able to embed my entire podcast on my website - it looks great, and users can see all the episodes in one place without downloading anything. Customer service is quick and friendly throughout the setup process or anytime I have questions. If you have a podcast, you need Podbean!

Loved in the app stores

The Podbean app is rated 4.8 on the App Store from over 50K reviews, and 4.6 on Google Play from over 200K reviews.

Ambient relaxation is my evening wind-down

The ambient relaxation feature has become part of my evenings — I put it on to wind down, and now I open the app even when I have no show lined up.

Newbie

Starting a podcast had never crossed my mind until a few days ago, and I still knew nothing about how any of it worked. This app made the whole thing fairly straightforward — within two days my show was up on Apple and Spotify.

Found podcasts I couldn't get elsewhere

It carries every show I have ever gone looking for, including Christian podcasts you don't tend to find on other platforms.

Picks up exactly where I left off

Works really well — it holds your place at the chapter you were listening to, so when you come back you just carry on with the story.

Easy to use

I was trying to listen to a show on the podcast app that came with my iPhone and ran into trouble, because only some of the episodes were listed. I moved across to Podbean, found every one of them, and found the app far easier to use.

Auto-downloads and notifications just work

Does exactly what it should. Every show you follow can download on its own, and you get a notification when it does.

Very user friendly

A few years back I decided to start a podcast while driving. Very sensible, I know. Podbean has been alongside me the whole way since. Definitely worth recommending!

Best podcast app of all

Podbean outdoes the other apps I have used, with auto play and sorting built in. It has rather ruined me for anything less friendly or less clever.

Simple instructions, freedom with content

It's been fantastic!! The instructions are clear and they work. If you want a place to make your voice heard, this is it.

Fast help from a real support team

What podcasters say about getting help from the Podbean team.

Every time I've asked for help, the reply came quickly — and the person handling it went further than I expected.

Helpful, quick to reply, and genuinely kind — I'd recommend both the platform and the team behind it.

Whatever the problem turns out to be, Podbean gets back to you fast and takes care of it.

A solution came back almost immediately, and when I got distracted for a few days they checked in to see how it was going.

Working with Podbean's support team was a great experience — fast to reply and a real help in getting my issue sorted.

Service that genuinely impressed me: my ticket was answered within five minutes, straight to the point, and the issue was fixed.

Support got everything sorted in under an hour — faster than I expected.

Replies come back straight away — happy to keep hosting my shows here.

A quick reply on chat sorted my problem in no time — even on a Sunday.
