Flightcast

What is Flightcast?

Flightcast is a podcast hosting and analytics platform designed for the modern video-first podcaster. It lets creators upload once and distribute simultaneously to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major RSS destinations. Beyond distribution, Flightcast consolidates multi-platform analytics into a single dashboard, offers automatic transcription, and provides intelligent tools for writing titles, descriptions, and chapters. Its AI Clips feature automatically identifies highlight moments, tests them on a side channel, and surfaces the top performers — removing the guesswork from content promotion.

Key Features

  Upload a single video file and publish to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and any RSS destination simultaneously, with per-platform customization options.

• Unified Cross-Platform Analytics

  Aggregates performance data from YouTube, Spotify, and RSS into one dashboard — including views, streams, downloads, audience overlap, and episode retention patterns.

• AI Analytics Chat

  Ask plain-language questions about your podcast data and get instant answers — useful for sponsor calls, growth analysis, or identifying your best-performing content.

• AI Clips & Auto-Testing

  Automatically identifies and clips highlight moments from episodes, posts them to a test channel, tracks which clips perform best, and surfaces the winners for your main channel.

• Dynamic Audio Ads & Monetization

  Insert your own sponsor ads or join Flightcast Ads to get paid directly, with advanced targeting by geography, date range, and listen cap.

• Seamless Migration with Full History

  Import complete analytics history from platforms like Spotify, Libsyn, Simplecast, Buzzsprout, and more — no historical data is lost during migration.

Use Cases

• Video Podcasters : Creators producing video-first content can distribute to YouTube and Spotify video simultaneously while managing audio distribution to Apple and RSS from the same workflow.
• Established Shows Switching Hosts : Podcasts with years of data can migrate from legacy platforms without sacrificing historical analytics, audience demographics, or episode-level metrics.
• Sponsor & Monetization Management : Hosts can manage their own sponsorship ad insertions with precise targeting — by country, time window, or total listen volume — or tap into Flightcast's ad network.
• Growth-Focused Creator Teams : Teams publishing multiple episodes per week benefit from automated transcription, AI-written metadata, and a centralized view of what content is actually driving audience retention.
• YouTube-First Podcasters : Channels already publishing on YouTube can use the YouTube-to-Podcast sync to automatically push video content to Spotify and RSS without any additional manual steps.
