Cast
A browser based remote recording studio that bundles recording, editing, and podcast hosting into one connected workflow.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
Cast positions itself as an all in one podcast platform: a browser based recording studio for remote guests, a built in editor, and RSS hosting once the episode is done, all under one login.
It suits new or small podcasts that want to avoid juggling a recording tool, an editor, and a separate host, trading some flexibility for a single connected workflow and one bill.
Because the pricing bundles all three pieces together, someone who already has hosting they like or a preferred editor elsewhere ends up paying for parts of the platform they won't fully use.
Worth a serious look for a brand new show starting from scratch, less obviously worth switching to if your current separate tools are already working fine.
