Menucast: Free Podcast Publishing Platform

A free and open source podcast publishing platform handling hosting, distribution, analytics, and monetization for creators to easily publish audio, video, and text content in a podcast format.

What is Menucast?

Menucast is an open source podcast publishing and analytics platform designed to make podcasting easy and accessible for everyone. It provides a user-friendly interface for creators to upload audio or video files, write show notes, schedule episode releases, and track listener statistics.

As an open source project, Menucast offers the core software free for anyone to download, install, and modify. It handles all aspects of publishing from media hosting to generating RSS feeds for podcast distribution. Creators can customize the look and feel to match their brand.

Notable features include options for monetizing through sponsorships or donations, user management controls, and integration with third-party services like YouTube, Patreon, and MailChimp. Users also get access to listener statistics like downloads, subscribers, and engagement analytics to inform content decisions.

With automated background processes for optimization, hosting security, and software updates, Menucast makes it simple for podcasters to focus on creating content rather than technical administration. The open source community behind the project also provides support, feature requests, and custom development work.
