How Does It Work?
Castos' Premium Podcasting works much the same as regular podcasting technology, via RSS feeds. But instead of your standard RSS feed, which is meant to be public and accessible by everyone, Premium Podcasting is specific to each subscriber of your show.
We create a unique RSS feed for each of your Premium Subscribers, and just for your podcast's premium content. With one-click subscribe to many of the major podcasting apps it makes adding your Premium podcast content to their podcast app of choice a breeze.
Here's a peek at how the process works.

How To Get Started
Maybe the best part of Premium Podcasting with Castos is that it's entirely free to all of our customers. You can run a free membership style podcast without any additional costs.
If you want to charge a subscription fee for your premium content then we retain twenty percent (20%) of each paid subscriber's monthly fee. So for each $5 subscription you keep $4!
