Is AzuraCast suited for both streaming audio for an internet radio station and podcasting from the same platform?
Can I use AzuraCast for internet radio and podcasting together?
If you are looking for an all-in-one web-based solution for your radio or podcasting needs, then the answer is a resounding YES. AzuraCast is a powerful and easy-to-use software solution that enables you to launch both an internet radio or a podcasting show with minimal effort.
The main advantage of using AzuraCast is that it offers a unified dashboard to manage all your radio, podcast, and streaming content, all from the same place. Using the AzuraCast interface, you can set up your radio station, upload audio files, create and assign streaming quality settings, customize your radio station’s metadata, and manage scheduling. Additionally, AzuraCast also allows you to host your podcasting content, making it simple to syndicate and get your shows listed on streaming services and podcasting directories.
For radio broadcasts, AzuraCast offers a wealth of advanced features, such as autoDJ support, metadata injection, genre-sorting, skip protection, and more. There is also a powerful API available for integrating with third-party services, such as services for radio playout automation or transcoding services.
For podcasting, AzuraCast provides the ability to upload audio files to create episodes, create iTunes-formatted RSS feeds, integrate with the IAB’s VAST compliant audio-ad inventory, and even embed podcast episodes within a web page.
In addition to AzuraCast’s core features, there are also a number of plugins and external tools available that can help you get even more out of your radio or podcast setup. For example, you can use the BBCRSS feed expansion tool to cross-promote your radio station or podcast across all BBC outlets, or you can use the HLS live streaming plugin to ensure the highest-possible audio streaming quality for your radio station.
