What's new from Buzzsprout

We’ve launched a new Chapter Markers editor that makes it easier to hit the exact right moments in your episode. It includes a visual waveform and smooth controls for placing chapters.

You can now:

The new chapter marker editor will embed your chapters in your MP3 files, so more podcast apps can display them consistently without any extra work from you.

Buzzsprout now supports all major podcast chapter formats, including chapters embedded in MP3 files, Podcasting 2.0 namespace chapters, and Podlove Simple Chapters.

We recently hosted the Buzzsprout Podcaster Meetup in Tampa. About 75 people gathered at Oxford Exchange after the Florida Podcasters Association meetup for conversations, food, drinks, and swag.

Connecting with people face-to-face, and hearing how Buzzsprout has helped podcasters keep podcasting is one of the most rewarding parts of our jobs. Thank you for everybody who came out!

Buzzsprout's new Podcast Name Generator helps you find the right podcast name so you can launch with confidence.

Describe your show, choose a tone and format, and generate a dozen ideas in seconds. Each result is checked against the Podcast Index and labeled Unique or In Use, giving you clear guidance on which names will help your podcast stand out.

You can use our podcast name generator today, even if your podcast isn't hosted on Buzzsprout.

Podcasting Q&A is back, now hosted by Buzzsprout’s own Cara Pacetti.

Cara has spent years on the Podcaster Success team helping creators launch and grow their shows. In the relaunched Podcasting Q&A, she turns those conversations into short, focused episodes, starting with:

If you have a question you would like answered on the show, send fan mail to the show so Cara can answer it on the next episode!

Buzzsprout for Mobile now lets you upload new episodes directly from our iOS and Android apps.

We streamlined the upload experience, improved key screens like episodes and stats, and smoothed out navigation, especially on Android.

Download the Buzzsprout app on the App Store or Google Play.

We’ve updated Buzzsprout plans to include both single and multiple podcasts options. Our multi-podcast plans let you host several shows under one subscription, share upload time across them, and keep everything on a single account.

You can see the new options and switch plans any time by going to Settings → Subscription.

Buzzsprout podcast stats have been improved so your numbers load faster, especially for larger shows and longer date ranges.

You will notice quicker load times across podcast and episode stats when you review your performance. Open the Stats tab in your account to see the improvements in action.

We’ve upgraded the Buzzsprout Transcript Editor so you can review and polish transcripts in a cleaner, more flexible workspace.

The editor still keeps your transcript in sync with the audio, but it now feels much closer to editing a simple document. You can stay focused longer, move through mistakes faster, and export the final text in the format you need.

Here is what’s new:

To try it, open any episode with a Buzzsprout transcript, click View Transcript or Edit, and you’ll see the updated editor.

Buzzsprout transcripts now use an improved engine that handles long episodes in a single pass, improving quality while dramatically reducing processing time.

Here’s what you can expect:

You’ll see these improvements on all new transcripts on Buzzsprout. 

We have updated Buzzsprout onboarding so new customers can clearly see the path to launching their podcast and get help at the right time.

If you are starting a new show or relaunching an old one, Buzzsprout is here to help!
