About Exitpod

A simple, correct place to host your podcast.

Exitpod is podcast hosting with one job: take your audio and turn it into a feed that every app reads correctly. Upload an episode, write a few details, hit publish. Exitpod stores the audio on its own servers, serves it from a global CDN, and generates a clean RSS feed — iTunes tags and the Podcast 2.0 namespace, valid every single time.

Most platforms bolt a podcast onto a marketing funnel and quietly make your feed theirs. Exitpod does the opposite. The feed is the product, and the feed is yours: a permanent address, stable episode GUIDs that never break a subscriber, and a one-click export so you can pack up and leave the day it stops serving you. That's where the name comes from — the exit is always open. We'd just rather you stayed because it works.

Who Exitpod is for

One show per account, set up the way podcasts actually work.

Solo hosts

You and a microphone. Upload, publish, done — no studio, no engineer.

Interview shows

Seasons, episode numbers and guest links, all tagged so apps order them right.

Narrative & serial

Chapters and transcripts for stories built to be followed in order.

Movers

Switching from another host? Keep your GUIDs, keep your subscribers, lose the lock-in.

Anyone who cares that it's done right

If you've ever opened your feed in a validator and winced, Exitpod is for you.

What's in the box

Episodes

Upload audio, set a title, subtitle and show notes, schedule or publish. Drafts stay private until you're ready.

A correct RSS feed

iTunes tags and the Podcast 2.0 namespace, regenerated the instant you publish. It validates — every time.

Audio hosting & CDN

Your files live on our own storage and stream from a global CDN, so episodes load fast wherever your listeners are.

Download stats

Honest download numbers per episode, counted from real CDN delivery — not inflated, not guessed.

Public show page

Every show gets a clean landing page with an episode list and an in-page player — a place to send people who don't live in a podcast app.

Submit once

Point Apple Podcasts and Spotify at your feed a single time. New episodes show up everywhere, automatically.

Transcripts

Attach a transcript per episode for accessibility and search — surfaced in the feed via the Podcast 2.0 transcript tag.

Chapters

Add chapter markers so listeners can jump straight to the part they came for, in any app that supports them.

Seasons & numbering

Seasons, episode numbers and episode types — trailer, full, bonus — so your back catalogue stays in order.

Funding links

Add a Podcast 2.0 funding link so apps can show listeners exactly where to support the show.

No lock-in

Stable GUIDs and a one-click export. Your feed is portable by design — take it and go whenever you want.

Works from your phone

The whole back office is mobile-first. Record, upload and publish an episode from the couch.
