Because Simplecast offers you a customizable site that automatically updates when you publish new episodes (along with stand-alone episode pages that you and your listeners can share), you might be a little confused when you can't create extra pages on your Simplecast site or fully customize the features or the way it looks. We can help clear up any confusion.

Simplecast Websites 101

  • Simplecast offers a simple, customizable site which you may choose to enable with your account (it's optional). By default the URL for your site will be

http://yourshowname.simplecast.com
  • You can choose to purchase and setup your own custom domain, and then mask (or hide) the Simplecast portion of the URL. This will be done separately from Simplecast, instructions are here.

  • Your Simplecast site is a great place for people to find, browse, and listen to episodes. 

  • It's also great "Google food" improving your podcast's search engine discoverability and they are 'Google Podcasts-friendly'. However, this site might not work as a full website replacement for you or your show.

  • Simplecast sites don't currently allow for multiple pages with a robust CMS—their current purpose is for podcast discovery and listening, but it's on our roadmap.
