What people are saying

Supporting Cast has been such a game changer for The Viall Files. It's been great for my listeners, who can listen to bonus content right within their preferred podcast app, and their team is so hands-on, always being available to provide guidance if needed.

Supporting Cast's system just works, cleanly and easily, for both podcasters and listeners. And their experienced team offers valuable support, including guidance on subscription strategy and tactics — from setup and launch, to growth.

The Tennis Podcast
“Supporting Cast helped us reach our six-month subscriber goal in less than 48 hours. While we initially braced for a wave of tech support questions given the global nature of our audience and the wide variety of podcast platforms, we encountered few issues and received overwhelmingly positive listener feedback on how easy it was to sign up, download and listen in their preferred player.”

Confidence at scale

Podcast Membership

Powering the most successful paid podcast communities

Take advantage of our experience and scale. Initially built to support Slate Plus members, Supporting Cast now works with the largest publishers in podcasting to monetize their audiences. Our platform supports hundreds of thousands of users and delivers millions of downloads every month.

Piracy protection

Fans won’t pay for content they can find for free online, so we protect your premium feeds. Set a low sharing threshold to flag members for manual review, and higher one to automatically disable access.

Downloaded an Episode
Signups and Cancellations

Robust reporting

Track your podcast subscription's growth, revenue, and engagement from 30,000 feet or view a single member's downloads. Export raw data manually via CSV or set up a data pipeline to query and visualize your data elsewhere.

Get Started Image

We make it easy to get started

  • Stick with your current podcast host, or host your premium content with us.
  • Continue delivering ads to non-paying listeners.
  • We'll provide sample scripts and promotional material to help your podcast membership.
  • We’ll handle customer support. (But only if you want us to.)
Strategic Partner

A strategic partner for the long run

  • Your subscribers aren’t locked into our platform — you can take your recurring credit card relationships and data if you leave.
  • We’re part of Graham Holdings, a public company with decades of experience building media, journalism, and podcast businesses — not a venture-backed startup looking for a quick exit.
  • We only succeed when our clients succeed. We share what we’ve learned and do everything in our power to help your podcast subscription thrive.
