Listener
Listener combines podcast, YouTube, and social performance data so podcast networks, creators, and agencies can track sponsorship delivery and share cross-platform reports with brands.
Who it's for
- Podcast network teams that need analytics across shows and network-level sponsor reporting.
- Individual podcasters who want audience analytics, a public profile, and sponsorship reporting.
- Agencies and studios managing client reporting and campaign performance across podcast platforms.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams looking for podcast hosting or distribution: Listener says it does not host or distribute episodes.
How it fits your workflow
Connect data from podcast, hosting, content, and social platforms to bring performance into Listener's dashboards. Episode Clusters tie audio, video, and social assets back to episodes.
For a sponsorship campaign, import an insertion order or set campaign goals, shows, episodes, dates, and CPM. Track pacing by show, episode, and content item.
Share a public pitch page or campaign link with a brand partner, or invite the partner to review a report of campaign results.
