What it is

show.fm is a podcast operations platform for booking, preparing, publishing, promoting, and coordinating episodes. Booking pages handle time zones, calendar conflicts, intake forms, and confirmation emails, and a confirmed booking creates an episode automatically. Its AI pipeline can transcribe episodes, draft show notes, create social posts, and surface moments for highlights and audiograms. Workflow automations cover reminders, social posts, task nudges, co-host notifications, email, and webhooks. Podcast hosting is included on every plan; feeds use a global edge network, and audio is described as triple-replicated with an external backup. Users can connect feeds from other RSS hosts, and hosting analytics include first-party, IAB-compliant plays and completion data. The maker describes a REST API with bearer-token authentication, JSON, eight endpoints, six webhooks, and HMAC-signed webhooks. Access is listed for web and API. A free plan allows one show and two episodes per month; Creator is $19 a month billed yearly.
