Why podcasters look beyond Squarespace
Squarespace is a general website builder. It makes good-looking sites, and it can publish a podcast feed from a blog page. But it is not built around episodes. Many podcasters add each episode to the site by hand, after they publish it at their host.
OnPodium is built only for podcast websites. It reads your podcast's RSS feed, makes a page for every episode, and adds new episodes by itself.
What changes when you use OnPodium
- No double publishing. Publish once at your host. The episode appears on your site with its own page, player and show notes.
- Podcast pages from the start: episodes, About, Contact and Subscribe, plus listen links for Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
- 9 templates made for podcasts, with your logo, colours and fonts.
- Your own domain with https, or a free onpodium.com address.
- An email list: the sign-up form confirms each address, and on paid plans subscribers get an email for each new episode.
When Squarespace is still the better choice
If the podcast is one part of a larger business site or online shop, Squarespace may suit you better. You can also use both: keep Squarespace for your main site and run the podcast website on a subdomain, such as podcast.yourdomain.com, with OnPodium.
How to switch
Copy your podcast's RSS feed, paste it into OnPodium, pick a template and connect your domain. If Squarespace stores your audio today, read our guide first: how to move your podcast website from Squarespace.
