Patreon and Acast say their new partnership makes patron-only podcast content available to listeners across all of the major podcast platforms.
An Acast press release says that this collaboration enables podcasters on Patreon to distribute private, patron-only content to their listeners’ podcast app of choice — including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pocket Casts, Overcast, the Acast app, and others.
The integration allows podcasters to publish content via a private patron-only RSS feed, and with a plan upgrade, enables them to manage both their public and private feeds from the same place. Podcasters will also have access to data and insights about their listeners.
“At Patreon, we’re fostering an ecosystem where creators can connect more deeply with their audiences, and ultimately change the way their creativity is valued,” said Brian Keller, director of creator success at Patreon. “Patreon and Acast have a shared mission of helping creators earn a sustainable income for their art. As podcasting continues to be one of the largest creator categories on Patreon, our work with Acast makes it easier than ever for podcasters to cultivate their communities by delivering exclusive content to their most passionate fans, wherever they like to listen.”
