Podstatus

Podstatus watches your RSS feed and checks whether your episodes are showing up correctly across major podcast apps, then pings you if something looks off. It's a monitoring layer, not a full analytics suite.

This fits shows with a real audience where a missing episode on Apple Podcasts for three days actually costs listeners, and where finding out from a listener's complaint is embarrassing. Peace of mind is the actual product here.

The gotcha is real: it tells you something is broken, it does not resubmit your feed or fix platform sync issues for you. You still have to go into Apple Podcasts Connect or Spotify for Creators and sort it out yourself.

Worth pairing with your host's own stats rather than replacing them, since this tool is about catching failures fast, not measuring audience behavior.
