Back in April, we launched Podcasts.

Since then, thousands of shows have switched to beehiiv to manage their podcast, newsletter, website, and community, all within one integrated ecosystem.

But your podcast shouldn’t just live alongside your newsletter—it should help grow it. Today, we’re introducing powerful new features to put that growth on autopilot.

Tune in to see what’s new👇️ 

You can now trigger an automation the moment a new podcast episode goes live, so your audience never misses your latest content. No more manual sends or tracking down the right link.

Podcast automations tap into the full power of beehiiv’s automation suite. You can dynamically pull in episode details, such as the title, description, and release info, for an alert that’s hard to miss. Or, build a multi-touch sequence that keeps listeners engaged and deepens the relationship over time.

Juggling multiple shows? You can build separate automations for each, so every audience gets the right message at just the right time.

Publish once, and our automation suite does the rest 💪 

Premium Episode Previews

With paid podcasts, you can turn your most engaged listeners into recurring revenue. We’re making it easier than ever to give free listeners a reason to upgrade.

Now, you can add an audio preview to gated podcast episodes, so visitors get a taste of what they’re missing before they commit. Use our new audio tool to select a clip from the episode, or upload your own preview file.

Visitors can listen to the preview, then subscribe to unlock the rest. Think of it as a trailer for the full episode.

Previews only appear to non-subscribers on the episode page. Paid subscribers get the full episode.

And unlike most other podcast platforms, beehiiv never takes a cent of what you earn. 😌

Podcast Importer

Breaking up with your old host just got a lot easier.

Our brand-new import tool makes migrating a breeze. Just point us to your existing RSS feed, and we’ll pull your entire archive into beehiiv.

This includes:

We’ll also walk you through setting up an RSS redirect, so your audience can keep listening uninterrupted on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms, while preserving your existing reviews and rankings.

No lost subscribers. No starting over. No asking your audience to resubscribe. Just a new host that’ll take your podcast to the next level.

The beehiiv Advantage 🎧️ 

beehiiv isn’t just another podcast host. It’s one platform for your newsletter, website, podcast, and all the workflows that support them.

Oh, and we built the first MCP for podcasts, so you can pull insights and automate workflows just by asking.

Here’s everything else you unlock with your podcast on beehiiv:

By the way: we’re introducing dynamic ads and video soon 🤫 

Recommendation Network

It’s not podcast-related, but the recent launch of the all-new Recommendation Network has been wild.

Newsletters are growing faster and earning more passive revenue than ever. In case you missed it: we brought Recommendations and Boosts together into one unified experience, with better discovery, smarter insights, and more powerful automations.

I created a video tutorial showing exactly how I’m using Recommendations for my personal newsletter. Give it a watch and unlock more growth 👇️ 

To celebrate our Summer Release Event, we’re offering 20% off any annual plan through July 31st. We rarely discount the platform, but we were so excited about these updates that we couldn’t resist. More features. Less $$$. It really is that simple.
