ART19

ART19 is Amazon's host for publishers who already run a podcast business. Amazon Music bought them in 2021. Wondery shows already lived here. It is not a beginner weekly host. Do not dress it up as one. You come here when you have shows, a catalog, and people who sell or traffic ads.

Publishing is here, yes. You send episodes to the listening apps. You can even make the feed different by app, including an ad-free version for members. The product they sell is the ad layer. WarpFeed lets you mark breaks and swap ads in old episodes without uploading the file again. A listener hitting a year-old show still hears a current spot. That is how a back catalog keeps earning.

The public site is thin on purpose. Publishers and advertisers get different doors. There is no self-serve price card. You email hello@art19.com. They also offer help making the show, from ideas to mixing, if you buy that. Campaign tools cover geography, episode, and how often a person hears the same brand. A marketplace can fill leftover spots. Direct host-read deals sit beside that.

Who actually buys this: networks, media companies, and established shows with a salesperson or an agency. Headgum is a public example on their publishers page. Counts are measured the way ad buyers expect. Support is staffed for that world. They claim replies in minutes. You want this when ads are the job.

Praise that repeats: swap ads on the whole catalog, serious campaign controls, and Amazon-scale plumbing. Pain that repeats: you will not see a dollar amount until a salesperson calls, the console is heavier than a consumer host, and a weekly first show has nothing to do here. There is no pretty onboarding for episode one.

If you are a network or a sales team, write hello@art19.com and ask for a walkthrough. If you are starting a weekly show, close this tab. Use a host built for first episodes.
