Beehiiv, a newsletter and website hosting platform competing with Substack, added podcast hosting and distribution on Thursday, allowing creators to launch new podcasts or migrate existing archives and automatically distribute episodes to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, and Castro. The tool includes automatic audio normalization, full episode transcripts, SEO-optimized webpages per episode, and IAB-standard analytics with breakdowns by country, listening app, and device. Podcast hosting is included on every beehiiv plan at no additional revenue share, with the company also planning to extend its advertising network beyond newsletters to cover podcasts.
