Build a Podcast Hosting and Analytics Platform
Design a platform where podcasters can upload episodes, distribute to major podcast directories, track listener stats, and manage their podcast branding, all from a single dashboard.While podcasting is booming, new creators often struggle with reliable hosting, RSS feed generation, distribution to platforms like Spotify/Apple Podcasts, and getting actionable audience analytics. Building an intuitive podcast hosting and analytics platform solves this gap and empowers content creators to grow faster.
Allow users to register, create podcast shows, upload episodes, generate public RSS feeds, and distribute automatically to Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, etc. Provide analytics dashboards showing total plays, unique listeners, retention graphs, geolocation stats, and device breakdowns.
Seamless Podcast Hosting and Management
Upload episodes, manage show branding (logo, description, social links) with easy publishing workflows.
Automatic RSS Feed Generation
Generate and update RSS feeds automatically to distribute podcasts across all major listening platforms.
Listener Analytics Dashboard
Track plays, downloads, locations, devices, listener retention rates, and top-performing episodes visually.
Monetization and Sponsorship Support (Optional)
Integrate ads, donations, or sponsorship offers to help creators monetize their growing audience (optional extension).
Podcasters create a show, upload episodes with metadata (title, description, cover art), and publish. The system auto-generates an RSS feed that distributes to listening apps. Analytics dashboards track play counts, retention, geo distribution, and device types across all platforms seamlessly.
