Transistor

What is Transistor?

Transistor is the podcast host you graduate to when the show becomes real. One subscription covers unlimited podcasts — main show, private feed, experiments — with the analytics, distribution, and polish that make a podcast feel professional.

Key features

• Unlimited shows, one price — launch a second show without a second bill.
• Real analytics — downloads per episode, trends, apps, and locations that podcast ads and sponsors actually ask about.
• Private podcasts — members-only feeds for paid communities and courses.
• Built-in website — a clean show site with episode pages, no WordPress required.
• Everywhere distribution — Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, and the rest from one dashboard.

Pricing

From ~$19/month with a 14-day trial — no permanent free tier, which quietly filters for podcasters who mean it.

Who it’s for

Creators past the “will I stick with it?” phase — and anyone monetizing via private feeds. If you’re on episode zero and unsure, start with Buzzsprout’s free plan and migrate later.

Verdict

The best hosting for a podcast you intend to keep. Podcasters almost never switch hosts once established — pick the one you won’t outgrow.
