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.
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.

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.
