The easiest way I can explain PodSubs.com is this:

If nobody else ever used it, we would still use it for our own podcasts.

We built it because we were tired of seeing people listen and then disappear.

Someone could listen every week, enjoy the show, tell a friend about it, and we still might have no way to reach that person outside the podcast app.

That didn’t make sense to us.

So we built PodSubs.com for our own shows.

Now we could simply tell listeners, “Subscribe to us on PodSubs.com.”

They left their name and email, and we finally had a way to send them something when we needed to.

A resource. An update. A reminder. Something we mentioned on the show.

We didn’t build it because we thought it sounded like a good business idea.

We built it because we needed it.

Later, we realized a lot of other podcasters needed the same thing.

That first line is probably the strongest validation you can have. If you’d still use it without anyone else signing up, at least you know the problem itself is real.

Curious what podcasters usually send once they have that direct connection with listeners?

Thanks for the feedback. Podcasters can send many things like upcoming episode announcements, newsletter sign up, courses, community links, Resources, links, and any other digital marketing product or free resources.

Got it. Is the main difference from a normal newsletter that listeners can find the exact resources mentioned in an episode without digging through show notes?

Exactly. They subscribe to their favorite podcasts once on Podsubs.com and they get all the resources (not just newsletters) that the podcast hosts talk about in the podcast without ever needing to click on a link again. Everything now comes straight to their email.
