Show notes and clips from one upload
Podsqueeze takes an episode and returns everything that gets written after it: show notes, chapters, a summary, social posts, and audiograms or video clips cut from the audio. It will stand up a website for the podcast as well. Plans are counted in minutes of audio a month, and the cheapest holds two hours, which is four half-hour episodes.
Our note
Against Castmagic the difference is the clips: Podsqueeze cuts video and audiograms from the same upload where Castmagic is text first. If the plan is to post to social from every episode, that is what decides it.

Podcast hosting with unlimited shows
Transistor hosts as many podcasts as you like on one subscription, which matters if you run several or produce for clients. Private feeds make paid subscriber shows straightforward. Analytics are honest rather than flattering.
Our note
The obvious choice for a network or an agency, and overkill for one show with a small audience. The private feed support is better than most platforms treat it, which matters if members are what pays for the podcast.
