So we're relaunching CastPlus this month.
Over the years we've hosted 6,500+ podcasts, 97,000 episodes, and served 71 million downloads. I've seen what works, what frustrates podcasters, and what's still missing.
V4.0 is a ground-up rebuild with an all-new platform, new brand and new ambitions for our podcasters.
Launching 30 March. Early list is open at

15 days to go.
We've spent the last few months rebuilding CastPlus from scratch. New platform, new site, new everything.
Years of hosting podcasts taught me what this space is missing. 30 March is when that ends.

Scratching my own (Laravel) itch with this one, because live UI updates without all the pain and setup is something I've always wanted, and I need it for best CastPlus UX. https://t.co/lQpdTeyGn2
I've spent years hosting podcasts for thousands of creators. I've learned a lot about what works and what's missing.
Now I'm putting all of that into something new.
Building three things today that no podcast host has ever offered.
Not hosting features. Something else entirely.

@rcmisk I've been developing software and SaaS for decades. The one thing I have done that has moved the needle the most is to co-found with someone who has complimentary skills. It's a gamechanger.
Software devs aspiring to be SaaS founders.
If you haven't felt that pain of the positioning and marketing workload in the weeks before launch, you're doing it wrong.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking of marketing as an afterthought that takes care of itself.
It simply doesn't. It's extremely hard, but doable.
The alternative is launching to crickets.

Why are we relaunching something that's already working? Because "works" isn't good enough any more.
Podcast hosting hasn't changed much in years. We think it should. And we have many plans.

Great customer support can really make a difference in the crazy SaaS world. Shout out to @UneedLists.
Some of the best known SaaS launchers have no customer service at all, despite all the noise they make.
Be better. Stand out.
Super-excited to be launching version 4 of a SaaS I've run in various forms since 2019. This one, in an earlier incarnation, served 150 million requests per month, transferring 60Tb of monthly data. I learned a lot about scaling with that!
I'll soon be looking for testers for the Build What Matters network, where SaaS founders have 6 ways of earning money and others (like SaaS launch sites) have 3. All free. Comment or DM.
I've been head down today, working on the referral/conversion tracking system for Build What Matters. I've been doing attribution tracking for a long time in other projects. This is all going to be completely free for Build What Matters members. 6 ways to earn money as a SaaS founder and 3 ways if you don't have your own SaaS. Get on the radar by adding the badge.
