01 · Audio
Conformed to spec, for you.
Every episode gets encoded with Fraunhofer AAC and run through a real dynamics pipeline, so it lands on the loudness target each platform expects. You don't have to think about it.
Podcast hosting · built in Finland
Your show, hosted properly.
Podcast hosting built by broadcast engineers. Every episode gets encoded with Fraunhofer AAC and conformed to the loudness standards each platform expects. Plays land in seconds, and every byte stays in the EU. Move your existing show over without asking your audience to re-subscribe.
No lock-in
A standard feed your listeners' apps already follow.
Castcore publishes a standard RSS 2.0 + iTunes feed. To move, you point your current host at the new address. Their platform forwards your listeners, apps follow on their next refresh, and nobody re-subscribes.

What you're paying for
Four things, done properly.
Most hosting is a control panel bolted onto a cheap encoder. Castcore is built by broadcast engineers who care what comes out the other end.
02 · Publishing
Published the second it's due.
Schedule a release and it goes out the instant you picked, with no lag between the scheduled time and the live feed. Your release window is a commitment.
03 · EU residency
Every byte stays in the EU.
Audio, metadata and images are stored in the EU and kept there. GDPR-friendly by architecture, not by a policy checkbox bolted on afterwards.
04 · Real-time analytics
Plays land in seconds.
Confirmations hit the pipeline immediately, not in a next-day batch. Watch a release climb live and see which episodes earn re-listens.

Real-time analytics
Your audience is yours. We earn nothing from them.
Castcore's only revenue is your subscription. No ad network, no listener data sold, no incentive to care about your download count except that growth means you're happy. Some platforms monetise your audience to fund their service — and are designed so that leaving means losing your followers. Standard RSS means your listeners come with you wherever you go. That's not a feature. That's the point of the standard.
Standards, not guesswork
We know the spec. You don't have to.
Every platform normalizes loudness to its own target. Castcore conforms your audio so each one plays it the way it was meant to be heard. Knowing how to do that is the whole job.
