Listener (Listener.com)

Listener is a reporting and analytics platform for the podcast industry, now operating at listener.com after previously being known as Listener.fm. Rather than focusing on post-production copywriting, the current product centers on one goal: giving podcast networks, creators, agencies, and brands a single, verifiable picture of how an episode or campaign performed across audio, YouTube, and social channels.

At the core of the platform are Episode Clusters, which automatically tie audio, video, and social assets back to the same episode so that downloads are not the only metric that counts. Teams can build insertion orders from scratch or import them, track delivery pacing against goals down to individual shows and episodes, and share live campaign links or reports with brand partners. Features such as Total Listener Value, listener heat maps, and Listener AI natural-language insights help surface the drivers of growth and make renewals easier to negotiate.

Listener is sold as a subscription with an Essential plan for individual podcasters, a Pro plan for small teams, and custom Network pricing for publishers and media companies. An MCP integration for Claude and ChatGPT, an Eventbrite connection for event data, and a Slack integration for AI podcast insights round out the platform's ecosystem.
