Power to the Podcasters: Libsyn Surges Past $100M in Creator Payouts

Today, Liberated Syndication Inc. (“Libsyn”), the leading podcasting platform for creators and advertisers, is turning up the volume on what it means to support podcasters at every stage. From bigger payouts to powerful new tools and high-profile partnerships, Libsyn is making it easier than ever for every voice to be heard, seen, and monetized.

Record Creator Earnings, New Tools & Exclusive Deals Power Libsyn’s Creator-First Model

Between January and July 2025, Libsyn has paid out 40% more to creators compared to the same period in 2024, pushing total creator earnings to more than $112 million since 2017. And with the removal of its 2,000-download minimum earlier this summer, Libsyn continues to break down barriers—now giving every podcaster on its platform access to Automatic Podcast Ads and the ability to start earning from day one. More monetization features are already in the works.

Libsyn recently expanded Multi-user Management to all creators, a podcast hosting feature previously exclusive to Pro and Enterprise customers. Allowing up to five users per account, this highly requested update gives teams greater control and flexibility. Ideal for shows with multiple hosts and collaborators, it enables teams to streamline production workflows from start to finish.

“At Libsyn, we believe every creator deserves more than just a platform—they deserve real support to build their audience, own their work, and create a sustainable media business on their own terms. Whether you’re just launching your first show or reaching millions of listeners, we’re here to fuel your growth and give you the tools to build something lasting. That’s what creator empowerment means to us—and it’s why we’re continuing to evolve our platform to meet the needs of the next generation of podcasters,” said Brendan Monaghan, CEO of Libsyn.

Adding to the momentum, Libsyn has expanded its roster of exclusive shows in the first half of 2025 with podcasts like 10% Happier with Dan Harris, The Jamie O and Mason Ho Show, and Stay True with Madison Prewitt Troutt, alongside renewed deals with The Viall Files and The Newsworthy, with an exciting pipeline of new additions coming soon. These podcast creators are tapping into Libsyn Ads’ full suite of ad solutions, including Host-Read and programmatic Automatic Podcast Ads, to deliver targeted campaigns that connect with audiences and deliver real results for brands.

Live from Dallas: On the Ground at Podcast Movement 2025

All this and more will be on display at Podcast Movement 2025, where Libsyn returns as a presenting sponsor. Attendees can visit booth #302 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Dallas to explore Libsyn’s powerful solutions for hosting, distributing, monetizing, and measuring both audio and video content.
