Podspun Cloud

A paid newsletter for your podcast, on your own website

Off Mic (Posts) works like Substack: readers join free or pay a monthly or annual price you set, and every post lands on your site and in their inboxes. The difference is where it lives and who helps you write. It runs on your own domain next to your episodes, drafts companion posts from your transcripts, and costs nothing monthly. Podspun takes 1.5% of each paid subscription.

Podspun is the #1 website builder for the age of podcasts, social, art and films, 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.

Setup and preview are free, with no card required. You pay only when you go live.

Members-only and paid posts on your own website. Visitors see the opening and a join card; members read everything.

Set a monthly and an annual price. Checkout runs through Stripe and the money settles in your own Stripe account.
Podspun helps you write: it drafts a companion post from each new episode's transcript and suggests topics from what your audience searches.
No extra monthly fee. Podspun takes 1.5% of each paid subscription.

It is also built to be a true crime hub, joining many channels together, weaving tens-of-thousands of episodes into our Dataweaver. New shows and insights flow in automatically.

The old way, the Podspun way

The website is built from your content

A general website builder hands you a blank template to fill. Podspun reads what you already publish and builds the pages from it.

The old way

You set up and maintain every tool by hand, with little to no automated help.

Start from a blank template.
Paste in each episode or post by hand, every week.
Transcripts, search, and clips come from separate apps.
Pay for hosting, a theme, and plugins on top.
Separate tools for managing email campaigns, a store, donations, and paid posts.
The site is as current as your last editing session.

Built from your content

The Podspun way

Everything you would do by hand in a website builder is here too: pages, themes, blocks, forms, your own domain. Plus:

Start from your own content: connect your podcast and social channels.
Every episode and post gets its own page, built from the content itself.
Transcripts, search, clips, and AI answers come from the same catalog.
Hosting, SSL, themes, your custom domain, forms, and the rest are included.
Email campaigns, a store, donations, and paid posts run from the same account.
New work appears on the site on its own.

FAQ

Paid newsletter questions

What is a paid newsletter for a podcast?

It is a set of posts your listeners pay to read, usually companion writing to your episodes: the full story behind a case, extended show notes, or subscriber-only commentary. Free posts and members grow the list; paid posts give your biggest fans a way to support you.

Is this like Substack?

Yes, the model is the same: free and paid subscribers, posts on the web and by email, you set the price. The differences: it lives on your own domain instead of a Substack address, it sits next to your episodes and search, and Podspun drafts posts from your transcripts and your audience's activity instead of leaving you with a blank page. If you already publish on Substack, you can also connect it to Podspun as a channel. If you are starting fresh, this is the newsletter, so you do not need a second platform.

How much does it cost?

Nothing monthly. Podspun takes 1.5% of each paid subscription, the same cut model as the store. Stripe's own card processing applies as with any payment platform.

How do my readers pay?

Through Stripe checkout, at the monthly or annual price you set. The subscription is billed on your own Stripe account, payouts go straight to you, and readers manage or cancel their plan through Stripe's billing portal.

How do readers sign in?

Three ways: a one-time email link with no password, an email and password, or Google. Accounts live on your site under /members, and lost passwords reset through the same email link.

Can Podspun really write the posts?

It drafts them. Each new episode with a transcript can arrive as a companion article, grounded in what was actually said, with links that jump readers to the exact moments in the episode. You read it, edit it, and decide if it publishes. Nothing goes out on its own.

Do I need a mailing list tool as well?

No. Sending a post to your members is built in, and the join form can feed your Podspun email contacts too. If you run bigger campaigns, the Email add-on is there, but Off Mic (Posts) sends on its own.
