Today, we’re excited to unveil a refreshed Buzzsprout that captures our mission of helping creators keep podcasting.

Buzzsprout still has the same name, team, and commitment to podcasting, but we have a fresh new logo, colors, and typography to reflect our growing mission.

Buzzsprout probably wasn’t why you started podcasting—that was your own inspiration—but if we do our job well, Buzzsprout will be the podcast partner that helps you keep podcasting.

Advertisers now have more control over where they run their ads.

Recommend podcasts with Podroll

Podroll is a simple way to recommend podcasts you love to your listeners.

It's reminiscent of blogrolls from the early 00's where bloggers would recommend their favorite blogs, websites, and discussion groups.

These recommendations are powerful because they're curated by the podcast creator, not an algorithm.

Buzzsprout podcasters can add podcast recommendations to their Podroll by going to Podcast Info > Podroll. These recommendations will appear on your Buzzsprout website, on Podnews, and in Podcasting 2.0-enabled listening apps.
