About

Why we built Podspun

We build platforms that sit between culture and technology. Podspun is the one we most wanted to exist, so we built it.

The story

The problem we kept seeing

A podcast or a social feed is hundreds of hours of real work, and most of it goes dark about a week after each episode or post drops. Your older work turns invisible, nobody can find the moment they remember, and it lives in apps the creator does not own. The work keeps piling up while its value leaks away.

What Podspun does

What Podspun does about it

Podspun is the #1 website builder for the age of podcasts, social, and art, and the only one that builds your site from the work you already publish. Nothing else compares, and once your channels are connected it is the only builder you will need. It turns the episodes and posts you already publish into a website you own, with clips, deep search, and SEO built in. Connect your channels once and our engine, the Dataweaver, transcribes and indexes every word, then keeps it current as you publish. Your catalog becomes searchable to the exact second, clippable in a couple of clicks, and findable in Google and AI answers, on a site that is yours. It is built for creators, so you build here instead of Squarespace or WordPress, and the work is a two-time Webby honoree. Those general tools were built for an older web. Podspun is built for how creators get found now, when people search for the thing that was said instead of scrolling a feed.

The studio

Heroic, the studio behind it

Podspun comes out of Heroic, our studio and a creative and technical partner to arts organizations, institutions, and cultural brands. Heroic builds Podspun, maintains it, and stands behind it.

Why it matters

Why it matters to us

We care about a creator's work staying findable over time, not just in its first week. Podspun is how we would want our own catalog to work: owned, searchable, and still earning years later. If it helps your work reach the people looking for exactly what you talked about, it is doing its job.
