Transistor Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Transistor is easy to use, works the way we need a podcast host to work and has phenomenal support. If you aren't already using Transistor to host your podcast, you should definitely switch right now. Their pricing also makes it a pretty easy decision to use their software.

Nothing to really note regarding dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I started looking for a better way to manage my podcasts, I was spread across two different tools - Anchor.fm and Podbean. I was able to quickly migrate my two podcasts over and start that process with only a little pain when dealing with distribution platforms like Spotify and Apple. I reached out to the support crew and within minutes had answers to some of my questions with details that got me moving the right direction. And as other issues cropped up here or there, the support staff (even on weekends) has been able to jump on and help me get things working again. The suite of tools is impressive, but the support staff is stellar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly nothing. This platform offers everything I could want for managing multiple podcasts and I look forward to exploring it further! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transistor has made my experience hosting multiple podcasts an absolute dream!

I host multiple public and private podcasts with Transistor so I can speak to several different scenarios – all of which are completely pain-free with Transistor.

Public podcast as a solo host: Standard setup and Transistor's UI makes it easy for me to upload my show, add show notes, host a website, and give visitors a simple way to subscribe.

Public podcast as a co-host: My co-host and I both love Transistor and collaborating on show notes while an episode is in "Draft" mode prior to publishing is as easy as can be.

Private podcasts: As a product consultant, I often run user experience interviews for my clients. I've used Transistor's private podcast feature to make the interviews available in a secure feed so that my clients and I can listen back to the customer interviews using the podcast player of our choice. It's very effective!

In every scenario, Transistor has made hosting my shows simple, secure, and affordable. I'll be using them for a long time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mobile layout was bad for a while but now it's completely fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to spin up multiple shows without additional costs or very much effort was a big selling point for me. This is becoming more ubiquitous in the podcasting space, but Transistor does a fine job of making the UI seamless and the experience frictionless. I've used other hosting in the past, and this is an area where the co-founders certainly shine--it's clear that they have spent a lot of time making the interfaces clean, usable and intuitive. In the 15 or so months that I've been on the platform, I've already seen one major overhaul on the UI which improved upon an already excellent user experience.

Justin & Jon are practitioners in the podcasting space themselves, and host a show which I followed for some months before signing on with them. It's always good to be using a product in a space in which it's clear the owners are experts themselves. Support (of which I've used for only a couple things) has been excellent. Their documentation is solid, and on the few occasions where I've reached out for specific issues, responses have been swift and helpful.

I suspect I will utilize their private podcast feeds feature at some point, but I don't have experience with it yet. However, specifically for business use cases, this is a huge selling point as well. Having privately accessible feeds is becoming more common with companies' internal podcasting and messaging, and I can see this being a useful (and huge) feature that I use eventually.

Twitter links share nicely with a mini podcast player. Auto-generated website for each shows is a great feature if you don't want to fool with building your own site. Analytics are well done and easy to read--they've focused on the most valuable ones for advertisers, and also allowed linking up to 3rd party analytics.

Onboarding my shows from their old feeds was seamless too--everything pulled over easily. For new show creation, they've synced up with all the major providers to really simplify getting your podcast listed everywhere. In many places, one click will submit your show to the right place.

And it's nice to be a part of what I know to be a small, tight-nip founder team. This ethos goes well in the podcasting space imo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a solo-practitioner, $19 may be a steep entryway for a monthly fee. There's a fee trial, but $19 is the cheapest plan. My podcasting, though proficient, is merely for the sport of it and I use it as an artistic platform. For solo shows with no intention of actually using the private feed feature or the unlimited-show feature, I might try out a less costly solution that will simply get someone's feet wet with podcasting. For those familiar with the format and the hosting options, though, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was super easy to get up and running, and it helps you submit your podcast to the various directories (Apple, spotify, etc). It also gives you a landing page if you want, and I love the API and embeddable player that lets me put the latest podcast episodes on our landing page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really to dislike! It does exactly what it says: it helps you get your podcast up and running super easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being new to podcasting I didn't know much about where to start. Transistor had really thoughtful blog posts that helped me as I was picking up equipment, planning my first episodes, and sharing my first creations.

Once I finished creating my first episode I was delighted at how I could upload it and see it showing up in different podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found much that has caused me frustration or friction. Transistor allows you to create a website or embed a podcast player. The podcast player they provide is well-designed, although you cannot customize the exact colors, it comes in light and dark theme and look good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transistor essentially automates podcast distribution and makes it really simple. Just a few clicks can get your podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and more. The analytics tool is powerful and helps to track success. Also, the company is small but the customer service is phenomenal. Quite frequently, I'll even chat with the founder of the company.

There really isn't anything that I dislike about Transistor. I will say that we're still having a little bit of trouble getting the podcast on Apple Podcasts, but that's not Transistor's fault. Apple Podcasts can be difficult sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
