Building the Perfect Website
Spreaker has been part of the podcast hosting landscape since 2009 and is now owned by iHeartMedia. It offers a creator app for recording, a listener app for discovery, distribution to all major platforms, dynamic ad monetization, podcast analytics, and enterprise podcasting tools.
You can start with Spreaker's free plan, which includes up to 5 hours of audio storage, up to 10 episodes, and unlimited listeners. Paid plans unlock more storage and additional features. It is a practical hosting choice, especially for shows that want built-in monetization and recording tools.
Every Spreaker podcast automatically gets a page on the Spreaker website. But this is not your own website. It is a page within Spreaker's domain, styled with Spreaker's logo, header, footer, and navigation. Your brand sits underneath theirs.
What the Spreaker page cannot do
The Spreaker page displays your episodes, links to your website or Twitter, and shows some contact details. That is the extent of it.
You cannot customize the colors, add blog posts, create additional pages, insert custom links or content sections, or design the page to match your brand. There is no blog, no custom layout, no integrations, and no way to make the page look different from any other Spreaker show page.
Your listeners see the Spreaker brand first and your brand second. For any show that wants to build its own identity, grow through search, or control the visitor experience, that is a major limitation. Browse these podcast website examples to see how other podcasters have built sites that actually work for growth.
What changes when you build on Beamly
Beamly imports your Spreaker podcast through your RSS feed. You can search for your podcast during setup or paste the feed URL directly. All existing episodes import automatically, and the Spreaker embed audio player can be pulled in too. You can switch between the Spreaker embed player and Beamly's custom player at any time.
The difference is immediate. On Beamly, you get a full website under your own brand and domain. The drag-and-drop builder gives you complete control over layout, colors, and page structure. You can create unlimited custom pages and blog posts, which is where real search traffic starts.
A few website tips that work well for Spreaker shows: display all episodes in one location on the homepage for easy listening. Add a detailed about page with your podcast description and host bios. Create individual episode pages with show notes. Share social links and make it easy for visitors to subscribe across platforms. Add a contact form so listeners can reach you directly.
Beamly also supports podcast review imports from Apple Podcasts and Podchaser, guest intake forms, listener voice messages, affiliate shortlinks on your domain, multiple podcasts on one network site, and integrations with Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, ConvertKit, Twitter auto-posting, and more.
Memberships, paywalled content, and digital products are built in, so you can monetize directly from your site.
