What is PodView
PodView is a podcast-first website builder that turns an RSS feed or YouTube channel into a complete, branded site in minutes. It automatically imports and syncs episodes, artwork, show notes, audio or video players, and metadata, so creators do not have to rebuild their content in a generic website tool.
Built-in discovery features include podcast-specific SEO, structured data, sitemaps, social previews, and tools that help AI assistants understand and cite a show accurately. Podcasters can guide how services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini describe their podcast and which episodes or ideas they associate with it.
PodView also helps creators build an audience they own through email signup, reviews, listener messages, and voicemail. Built-in analytics show traffic sources, episode plays, completion rates, and listener drop-off. Users can customize podcast-specific themes, connect their own domain, publish audio and video episodes, and export subscriber and guest data at any time.
A free plan is available with no credit card required.
