As podcasting becomes more competitive, a dedicated website isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a vital tool. In today’s episode of Podcast Insider, Mike Dell and Todd Cochrane revisit why having a podcast website can help you grow your audience, strengthen your brand, and create monetization opportunities.

In 2024 and beyond, a well-designed, functional website can set your show apart — but we’ll also cover reasons why you might not want one, depending on your goals and bandwidth.

Today’s Hosts: Mike Dell and Todd Cochrane


✅ Reasons to Have a Podcast Website

Your Show’s Central Hub – Your Moonbase Alpha

  • It’s the best place to send your listeners.

  • If your show disappears from podcast apps, fans still know where to find you.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

  • Helps your show get discovered when people search for your topics or guests.

  • Lets you create more detailed, searchable show notes.

Branding

  • Total control over the look, feel, and voice of your brand.

Audience Engagement

  • Include a forum, contact form, or email signup to build community and keep in touch.

Monetization

  • Promote sponsors, sell merch or services, and even run ads like AdSense.

Bonus Content & Resources

  • Add blogs, video content, transcripts, and links to additional resources.

Web Analytics

  • Use tools like Google Analytics to understand your audience’s behavior.

A Place for Everything

  • Podcast players

  • Episode archive or playlist

  • Contact info

  • Announcements

  • Merch store

  • Ads and sponsor details

  • Your services and products


🤔 Why You Might Not Want a Podcast Website

Time Constraints

  • Keeping a website updated does take effort.

Technical Skills

  • Not everyone is comfortable building a website — but it’s easier than you might think.

Cost

  • Domain registration and web hosting come with a price.

  • However, Blubrry includes a free podcast website with hosting.

Focus on Core Content

  • If you’d rather focus purely on the audio, that’s okay too.

Keeping It Simple

  • Sometimes simplicity is the best route.

Social Media Presence

  • If most of your audience engagement already happens on social media, a separate website may not be necessary.
