Latest news
- Apr 2: Buzzsprout launched free automatic transcripts for all their hosting customers using a current paid plan. Transcripts appear in Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and other apps. It has a transcript editor to help fix any words before publishing, and (unlike Apple Podcasts's transcriber) will correctly identify different speakers. The company has also overhauled its chapters tool to work within the transcript editor.
- Apr 1: The Vera House Podcast is the first Buzzsprout podcast to be available in HLS video on Apple Podcasts. Buzzsprout hasn't, yet, been announced by Apple Podcasts as a video podcast partner.
- Mar 31: Buzzsprout is rolling out a new addition to its “fan mail” service. Just by hitting a link in the show notes, your listeners can now record and send a voicemail. Try it here.
- Mar 17: More on yesterday’s news about Apple Podcasts HLS video support: Podnews can confirm today that Buzzsprout will be supporting it.
- Mar 16: This now means that almost all major podcast hosting companies - ones with more than 2% market share of new episodes - will be able to deliver HLS video to Apple Podcasts. But, no HLS video for you if you’re with competitor Spotify for Creators and Spotify-owned Megaphone (28% market share), Spreaker (14%), for which the obvious answer is an upgrade to Omny Studio, and two heritage podcast companies are also not yet offering HLS video: Buzzsprout (7.2%) and, surprisingly, Libsyn (2.7%). (It should probably also be noted that video is likely to be an additional charge, given the cost of hosting).
