If you’re thinking about joining a network, it’s important to understand how they work, what benefits they offer, and what drawbacks you’ll have to endure. In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about podcast networks.
What is a Podcast Network?
PodcastOne (which is a podcast network) has a great definition:
“A podcast network is a collection of podcasts that are produced, distributed or made available to advertisers through a single company, or network.”
In other words, it’s an umbrella company that individual shows join to take advantage of certain benefits, especially when it comes to advertising. Some podcast networks stick to themes (like true crime shows or interview shows) while others are more open.
What do podcast networks do? They were created originally to market and monetize podcasts, but they’ve evolved to much more over time.
You see, podcasts had a discoverability problem in the late 90s and early 2000s. They weren’t mainstream at the time. Podcast directories didn’t exist yet and search engines weren’t capable of exploring audio content. Read More

If you're a podcaster, you may have heard the terms "downloads" and "listens" used interchangeably. But are they really the same thing? Let's dive in to explore the differences between the two.
S.A. Grant of Boss Uncaged recently wrote an excellent article in the Podfest Facebook Group covering this debate. Visit the group for the whole story!
What's the difference between podcast downloads and podcast listens?
In simple terms, a download refers to when someone requests and saves an episode of your podcast to their device. A listen, on the other hand, refers to when someone actually plays that episode.
So while a download is a measure of how many times an episode has been requested, a listen tells you how many people have actually engaged with your content. Keep in mind that not all downloaded episodes get listened to, and some listeners may stream your podcast without downloading it at all. Read More

We believe that democracy is the same way. Each of us has a role to play in building and sustaining a healthy democracy and our show is all about helping people understand what that means.Democracy Works is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what’s broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.
