Strategic partnership with top-10 podcast player app benefits creators and listeners

San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/05/2021 -- Podomatic, a leading podcast services provider since 2005, has partnered with Player FM - Podcast App, a top-10 podcast app worldwide. The partnership provides podcast creators on Podomatic's hosting service the ability to reach millions of new listeners on Player FM with a one-click submission to the Player FM podcast directory. The partners are also working to provide creators access to reporting and analytics about their listenership on Player FM.

Player FM will also integrate the thousands of active podcasts and millions of media files hosted on Podomatic into their cross-platform mobile app, which is available worldwide on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

"Adding support for Player FM is a major expansion of our distribution platform, allowing our creators to reach an even larger audience," said Podomatic Founder Johnny Mansour. "Player FM offers a powerful, cross-platform experience for discovering and listening to podcasts, that continues our commitment to help our podcasters reach the widest audience possible."

Podcasting has emerged as somewhat of an equalizer in the media landscape, empowering everyday people to reach the same caliber of audiences as a major broadcast network. It has also become an increasingly popular form of media consumption in the United States. Consumer data firm, Statista estimates the number of Americans listening to podcasts will eclipse 100 million by 2024, an increase from 75.9 million in 2020.

"Partnering with a hosting platform like Podomatic, whose goal is to expand the reach of independent creators, further enhances Player FM's content offering for listeners and enables them to discover and support new and unique podcasts," said Michael Ritter, CEO of Maple Media, the mobile media and technology company behind Player FM - Podcast App.

Player FM's continued growth has been driven by adding new shows daily and enabling effortless mobile and cross-platform listening experiences.

"As the podcasting medium continues to flourish, strategic partnerships -- like that of Player FM and Podomatic -- will become more valuable in the effort to enrich the experience for both creators and listeners, while contributing to the overall growth of the podcasting ecosystem," said Ritter.

The Podomatic integration is the latest of several major partnerships and podcast business acquisitions made by Maple Media. Last month, Maple Media also announced it had acquired Breaker - The Social Podcast App.

Advertising for Any Sized Podcast on Podomatic

San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/10/2020 -- Podomatic is now making it possible for all podcasters, no matter your audience size or experience level, two new ways to make real money with your podcast. With two unique new partnerships, all podcasters can now easily find high-paying Advertisers and create Free Merch Stores while Podomatic forwards all company commissions back to the podcaster. That means Zero Upfront Cost Ever, Zero Risk, 100% of Your Profits, 100% Ownership of Your Brand, Products and Pricing, and All Podomatic Commissions. A better deal isn't out there.

Podcast monetization has become a huge industry in recent years, with many experts predicting over $1 Billion in podcast ad revenue in 2021. These advertisers and that money however, have only been available to a very small percentage of podcasters. Podomatic and our two new partners, Podcorn and WhatFor Apparel, have created a monetization option that will change that forever. As it says in our Podcaster Bill of Rights, you own what you create on Podomatic and you are free to monetize what you own in any way you see fit. That is why Podomatic is forwarding all commissions made from these new partnerships, directly to the podcaster. The money you earn from your content is yours, we're just here to support you.

Podcorn is a podcast advertising company that knows a small engaged audience can be just as valuable to advertisers as a large one. With Podomatic and Podcorn's new integration, podcasters will easily be able to find the perfect sponsors for their podcast, set their own rates, ad placements, create custom ads that fit their content and get paid upon hire. Ensuring the highest rates and fastest payouts.

Co-Founder of Podcorn David Kierzkowski added, "Monetization plays a critical role in the health of the podcast ecosystem and we couldn't be more excited to partner with Podoomatic as they share our goals to support independent voices of all sizes to improve podcasters' access to monetization opportunities, while giving advertisers easier access and discovery of amazing podcast talent."

Completing our new monetization suite is WhatFor? Apparel, a Print-On-Demand solution for custom podcast merchandise. Podomatic podcasters are now easily able to create their own custom merch stores, upload or design hundreds of custom branded products, set their own prices and keep 100% of their profits!

WhatFor? Apparels Print-On-Demand solution means our podcasters never pay anything out of pocket, ever, and never have to worry about printing, shipping or managing inventory. Their fans simply shop their products and they collect the profits; making real money for promoting their own podcast.

"From the outset of What For? Apparel, we knew that we wanted to be able to partner with influencers and content creators to provide them a platform to monetize their work without them having to spend lots of money. That is why we are so excited to be partnering with Podomatic.

With our no upfront cost merch program, combined with the suite of tools and technology offered by Podomatic, we genuinely believe that podcasters will have everything they need to be successful!" - Josiah Sifuentes, Chief Operations Officer at What For? Apparel.

Podomatic establishes the Podcaster Bill of Rights

San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/23/2020 -- Podomatic establishes the first, Podcaster Bill of Rights, in hopes of informing and protecting all podcasters and content creators against surrendering ownership of their art and/or allowing it to be endlessly financially exploited. As the artform surges and expands, so do the ways creators are being taken advantage of. Our simple philosophy has always been; What you make, create, and produce with your podcast is owned by you. We are here to support you and help you share it with the world. That is what you pay us for.

In 2004, podcasting came about to enable independent content producers to create and distribute their art freely without restriction. Anyone could add their voice to this new medium.

As an independent producer, you have the right to own, sell, distribute and monetize your content in any way you choose. That's the point of podcasting. Since 2005, Podomatic has been committed to protecting and ensuring your rights and freedom as an independent content creator. Our job is to empower you as a podcaster, not exploit you.

We think about these values and honor our podcasters and their creative rights every day so we thought, let's write them down for not only our podcasters but for all podcasters to know what their rights are as creators.

Podomatic Founder Johnny Mansour added, "We are not a big company but we believe there is space for us to succeed by empowering and protecting our podcasters and their art. Other opportunities may exist but would only distract us from the main focus that has served us so well for the last 15 years; Podcasting."
