Patreon launched a new podcast network program, bringing select shows from Sony Music and Wondery to its platform. Shows like This is History and Scamfluencers will feature exclusive content and perks for subscribers.
Patreon is also adding podcast-specific tools, including:
Collections: The ability to organize and sell individual episodes or seasons
RSS syncing and importing: The ability to host free episodes from third-parties like Sptoify and member-only episodes on Patreon.
Why It Matters: In 2024, Patreon podcasters earned $473 million from 6.7 million paid memberships, providing a solid foundation to expand its podcasting efforts. With podcasts offering intimate experiences between creators and listeners, paid memberships are often a key way for podcasters to build sustainable businesses.
