Private feeds on every plan, automatic subscriber sync, and a homebase on Castos or WordPress.
Companies that trust Castos
Whether you run a membership, a course, or a community, this is the path for member-only content
Your members already trust you. Giving them exclusive podcast content should not mean juggling a separate hosting tool, a third-party paywall, and a disconnected subscriber list. Castos lets you deliver private podcast episodes from a homebase you control, with subscriber management, membership integrations, and a branded experience built in.
Running a membership site
You want to add a private podcast as a member benefit without bolting on another platform or managing subscriber access by hand.
Delivering a course or training
You want to package audio lessons, coaching calls, or supplementary content into a private feed your students can listen to anywhere.
Building a community
You want to offer exclusive conversations, bonus episodes, or behind-the-scenes content that strengthens the relationship with your most engaged followers.
Monetizing with premium content
You want to charge for access to podcast content and need a setup where subscriber management does not require manual work for every new member.
Why Castos
Why membership creators choose Castos as their podcast homebase
Private feeds built in
Every Castos plan includes private podcasting with unique RSS feeds per subscriber. Members listen in their favorite podcast app, not a clunky web player.
Automatic subscriber sync
Connect Castos to MemberPress for direct integration, or use Zapier for other membership platforms. New members get private feed access automatically, and access revokes when they cancel.
Listen anywhere, including the Castos app
Members can listen in their favorite podcast app via RSS, or use the Castos mobile app built specifically for private podcasting. No separate login portal or clunky web player required.
Own the experience
Deliver content through a Castos-hosted site, on WordPress with Seriously Simple Podcasting, or both. Your members see your brand, not someone else’s platform.
Publish without limits
Every plan includes unlimited episodes and downloads, so adding more content for your members does not trigger overage charges or force a plan upgrade.
See what your members listen to
Track episode performance and listen trends with analytics that help you understand what content resonates with your paying audience.

Your members should not need three accounts to hear your content
The common trap
One tool for the membership, another for podcast hosting, a third for subscriber management. It holds together until the subscriber list drifts out of sync — or a member opens a support ticket because they lost access after a legitimate renewal
One connected workflow
Host the private podcast, manage subscriber access through MemberPress or Zapier, deliver through a branded feed, and track performance from one dashboard. No stitching required.
Less overhead, better experience
Fewer support tickets about access, less manual subscriber management, and a member experience that feels intentional instead of bolted together. Our guide to starting and running a membership podcast covers the strategy behind it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about private podcasting for members
Do I need a separate tool to charge for podcast access?
Castos handles the private podcast hosting and subscriber management, but payment processing happens through your membership platform. If you use MemberPress, Castos integrates directly so new paying members automatically get private feed access. For other platforms, you can use Zapier to connect subscriber management.
How do members listen to private episodes?
Each member receives a unique private RSS feed URL via email. They add it to their favorite podcast app and episodes appear automatically, just like a public show. No separate app download or web login is required.
Can I have both a public and a private podcast in the same account?
Yes. You can create as many public and private podcasts as you want in a single Castos account. This is useful if you want a free public show alongside premium member-only content.
What happens when a member cancels?
If you are using the MemberPress integration or Zapier automation, the member’s private feed access is automatically revoked when their subscription ends. No manual removal is needed.
Can I deliver private podcast content through WordPress?
Yes. Castos supports a WordPress-native workflow through Seriously Simple Podcasting. You can publish private episodes from WordPress and they sync to Castos for private feed delivery.
How many private subscribers can I have?
Every Castos plan includes private subscribers: up to 100 on Essentials, 250 on Growth, and 500 on Pro. If you need more, additional subscribers are billed at $50 per 500 with no per-download overage charges.
