Confidence at scale
Powering the most successful paid podcast communities
Take advantage of our experience and scale. Initially built to support Slate Plus members, Supporting Cast now works with the largest publishers in podcasting to monetize their audiences. Our platform supports hundreds of thousands of users and delivers millions of downloads every month.
Piracy protection
Fans won’t pay for content they can find for free online, so we protect your premium feeds. Set a low sharing threshold to flag members for manual review, and higher one to automatically disable access.
Robust reporting
Track your podcast subscription's growth, revenue, and engagement from 30,000 feet or view a single member's downloads. Export raw data manually via CSV or set up a data pipeline to query and visualize your data elsewhere.
We make it easy to get started
- Stick with your current podcast host, or host your premium content with us.
- Continue delivering ads to non-paying listeners.
- We'll provide sample scripts and promotional material to help your podcast membership.
- We’ll handle customer support. (But only if you want us to.)
A strategic partner for the long run
- Your subscribers aren’t locked into our platform — you can take your recurring credit card relationships and data if you leave.
- We’re part of Graham Holdings, a public company with decades of experience building media, journalism, and podcast businesses — not a venture-backed startup looking for a quick exit.
- We only succeed when our clients succeed. We share what we’ve learned and do everything in our power to help your podcast subscription thrive.
