Show Notes
In this episode of Podcast Insider, Mike Dell is joined by Brenden Mulligan, founder of Podpage, to talk about Blubrry’s new Podpage integration and why having a dedicated podcast website still matters.
Blubrry hosting customers now have access to a free Podpage-powered podcast website, giving podcasters an easier way to create a professional home for their show without having to build or maintain a website from scratch.
Mike and Brenden discuss how the partnership came together, what happens to existing Blubrry podcast landing pages, and how podcasters can customize or upgrade their new sites. They also dive into the bigger role podcast websites play in discoverability — from traditional SEO to the growing influence of AI search tools — and why having a clear, authoritative home for your podcast can help audiences and search platforms better understand your show.
In This Episode Why Blubrry partnered with Podpage for podcast websites What Blubrry hosting customers get with their Podpage-powered site How existing podcast landing pages transition without breaking existing links When Podpage may be a better fit than building a WordPress site Why every podcast should have its own home on the web How your podcast website can support SEO and AI-powered search Why your official website should be connected to your podcast RSS feed How Podping helps podcast websites update when new episodes are published The challenges of RSS feeds, caching and episode update delays How video podcasting, YouTube and HLS could change podcast publishing Why video doesn’t have to be part of every podcast Using Vid2Pod to turn existing video content into an audio podcast
Your Podcast’s Home on the Web One of the biggest themes of the conversation is simple: your podcast should have a place online that you control. Podcast apps, directories, YouTube and other platforms are important for distribution, but your own website gives listeners a reliable place to find your episodes, learn more about your show and connect with you. For Blubrry hosting customers, that process is now much easier. Your Podpage-powered site is automatically connected to your podcast, and podcasters who want additional design and website features can claim their site and explore more customization options. To view or manage your podcast website, log in to your Blubrry Dashboard, go to Manage Show and look for Landing Page.
Thanks for Listening Whether you prefer a simple podcast website that works automatically or need a more customized web presence, the goal is the same: make it easy for people — and increasingly, search engines and AI tools — to find accurate information about your podcast.
