About Audioboom

Audioboom began in 2009 as a social audio-sharing service and later shifted towards podcast hosting and professional content. Audioboom Limited operates the platform, and its parent company is Audioboom Group plc. The company is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

Audioboom is known for combining podcast hosting and distribution with monetisation options, including advertising opportunities and original podcast production. Our comparison lists its podcast hosting as a subscription service, with monthly and annual billing options.

Audioboom provides advertising options through a marketplace, including host-read endorsements and branded content. Its hosting listing also includes dynamic ad insertion.

Podcast production

The company produces original podcasts and offers bespoke production services for personalities and brands. This extends its offer beyond the tools needed to publish a show.

Servers and support

Specific podcast-media server or data-centre locations are not confirmed. Audioboom lists a support forum and an online support-request form; its terms also list a telephone number.

Who should consider Audioboom?

Audioboom may suit podcasters looking for hosting alongside distribution, analytics and advertising options, as well as brands or personalities seeking production services. Its feature set includes tools for publishing and managing a show, rather than hosting alone.

Consider other providers if you need confirmed server locations, published support hours, or particular mobile-app or account-management features. Check the current service terms before subscribing, especially if you expect to cancel or move your podcast later.
