Private Podcasts Without Platform Limits

Secure member-only audio, branded access, and control of your distribution.

How Castos private podcasting works

Castos gives each listener a unique private RSS feed, manages subscriber access from your dashboard, and works with the tools you already use—so members hear episodes in their normal podcast app.

If you’re doing this for paying members, a course, or a community, start with our membership journey—it’s written for that business model. Then come back here for feature detail.

Why Create A Private Podcast?

Offer Exclusive Content

Your private feed reaches the audience you invited—so “members-only” actually stays members-only.

Deeper Connections

Private audio feels personal; people stick around longer when the feed is clearly for them, not for everyone on the internet.

Easy Integrations

Hook Castos to membership tools and automation so access updates when someone joins, upgrades, or leaves—without you babysitting a spreadsheet.

Monetize Your Show

Pair private feeds with your existing checkout or membership platform so paying customers get audio automatically—ads optional, not required.

How Does Private Podcasting Work?

At a glance

  • Create your show in Castos and set it to Private—then publish episodes the same way you would for a public show.
  • Add subscribers in Castos (or sync them from tools like MemberPress or Zapier). Each person gets their own private RSS link, usually by email.
  • They paste that link into their podcast app. If someone’s access should end, you can remove them—or let your integration revoke access when a subscription ends.

All you need to do is add your individual Private Subscribers by their name and email address, and we take care of the rest.

Your new Private Subscribers will receive an email on your behalf inviting them to your private podcast. They subscribe with a unique RSS feed URL to their favorite podcasting app, and that’s it!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Private Podcasting cost?

Castos’ Private Podcasting is included in all of our standard pricing plans. You’re allotted up to 100 private subscribers in our Essentials plan, 250 in the Growth Plan, and 500 in the Pro plan. If you go over 500 Private Subscribers we simply bill you $50 per 500 additional Private Subscribers in your account.

Can I add the same person to multiple Private Podcasts?

Yes! The same individual email address can be added to as many Private Podcasts in your account as you’d like. That one unique private subscriber only counts once in terms of billing.

Can I charge for access to my Private Podcast?

Absolutely. With our direct integration with the popular membership platform MemberPress you can easily set up paid tier access to your content, and tie that in directly with your Private Podcast in Castos.

Can I create a Public and a Private podcast in the same Castos account?

You bet! You’re always free to create as many podcasts in a single Castos account as you’d like. Make them Public or Private depending on the use case for that show.

Does Private Podcasting work with Seriously Simple Podcasting in WordPress?

Yes, it does. All you need to do is set up that new podcast in WordPress, and once that has synced over to Castos set the podcast as Private in your Castos dashboard. From there publish episodes to the Private Podcast and your Private Subscribers only will get that content.
