Podcast Hosting & Distribution

Host and distribute your podcast. Import existing episodes or generate new ones from your uploads. Every episode gets a full page with transcript, timestamps and structured data for AI discoverability.

A podcast is one of the most effective ways to build authority as an expert. You share your thinking, your methodology, your perspective. Your listeners hear your voice and start to trust you. But most podcast hosting platforms stop there. Your episodes live on Spotify and Apple as audio files. No transcript. No structured data. No way for AI systems to parse what you said. Your best thinking is locked inside audio that search engines and AI crawlers cannot read. ## Every episode becomes a content page Identity First Media does not just host your audio. Every episode gets a full web page on your website with: An AI-corrected transcript. Not a raw speech-to-text dump, but a cleaned, readable transcript that preserves your meaning while fixing the false starts and filler words that speech-to-text always includes. Timestamps that let visitors jump to specific topics. These same timestamps generate chapter markers for podcast apps that support them. An answer capsule: a concise summary at the top of the page that AI systems can cite when someone asks a question your episode answers. A FAQ section generated from the topics you covered. These questions and answers carry FAQPage Schema.org markup, which is the format AI systems most readily cite. Cross-links to related blog posts, social content and other episodes. This internal linking strengthens the entity signal for AI systems. PodcastEpisode structured data that tells AI crawlers the title, description, duration, host and topic of every episode. ## Import your existing podcast If you already have a podcast, you do not start from zero. The system imports your existing episodes from any RSS feed. Two modes: basic import (metadata and audio) or AI-enriched import (full transcript, FAQ generation, answer capsule and structured data for every imported episode). You can import selectively or bring everything. Your existing podcast keeps its authority. The episodes that your audience already links to and references continue to exist at the same URLs. The RSS feed maintains compatibility with every platform. ## Generate episodes from your recordings You do not need to record a separate podcast. When you upload a video or audio recording to the Content Engine, the system can generate a podcast episode from it. The audio is extracted, enhanced and published with full episode metadata. Your recording session becomes both your video content and your podcast content. ## Distribution built in Your RSS feed is automatically generated and compatible with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Overcast, Pocket Casts and every major platform. The system tracks which platforms have picked up your feed and when each one became active. Audio streaming uses HLS adaptive bitrate through Cloudflare, which means instant playback at any connection speed. No buffering. No waiting. ## Discoverable by AI This is what separates podcast hosting from podcast publishing. Your episodes are not just audio files. They are structured content pages with Schema.org markup, transcripts, FAQ sections and answer capsules. When someone asks an AI system a question your episode answers, the AI has everything it needs to cite you.

Approach

You record your episode or the system generates it from a Content Engine upload. Either way, every episode gets a full web page that turns your audio into a discoverable content asset.
