Wavelength serves every episode from a global audio CDN and reads what happens after the press of play — the minute attention dips, the line that earns the follow, the city quietly bingeing your back catalog. One dashboard, built by people who actually cut tape.

Most shows duct-tape a host, an analytics tab, and a spreadsheet together, then guess. Wavelength is the single place you upload, understand, and earn — from the raw export to the deposit.
Every file lands on a 280-edge CDN with adaptive bitrate, so a listener on hotel Wi-Fi in São Paulo gets the same instant play as one on fibre in Berlin. No throttling a viral episode, no per-download surcharge — not on any plan.
A download is someone pressing play. Wavelength shows the exact minute they leaned in, skipped, or quit — and the moment that pulled them back.
Speaker-labelled transcripts in minutes, not days. Searchable, editable, and one click from publishing as show notes or a blog post.
We detect the segments and timestamp them on upload, so a listener can jump straight to the interview without scrubbing for it.
Stitch ads into old and new episodes by city, device, or season — then pull a campaign from your entire catalog the day the deal ends. No re-uploads.
Every account gets a fast episode site and embeddable player on your own domain, generated from the feed and styled to match your brand.
The signal under every show we host
A download is a guess dressed up as a number. Wavelength tells you what happened after someone hit play — so your next episode is shaped by evidence, not the vibe in the group chat.
A second-by-second map of where listeners lean in, skip, and bail — laid over your waveform, so you see the cause sitting right under the drop.
IAB Tech Lab v2.2 certified, deduplicated across apps, bot traffic filtered out. The numbers in your media kit are the ones an auditor would sign off on.
Net new followers per episode across Apple and Spotify, mapped to topic — so you learn which guest turned a one-time listen into a subscription.
Spot the metros bingeing your show before the fans email you, then book a live taping where the demand already lives.
The same Tuesday upload, followed through every system in Wavelength — nothing here is mocked for the brochure.
Drag in the master. It hits the CDN, generates an RSS entry, and goes live to every app in under a minute.
Segments timestamped, a speaker-labelled transcript ready to edit, show notes drafted from the words you actually said.
Listen-through plots against the waveform. The 22-minute dip is the mid-roll; the 38-minute spike is the guest reveal.
The week's ad reads insert by city and device, including into the 200 episodes already in your back catalog.
Austin and Lisbon light up first. The cohort view flags them for a live taping before a single fan asks.
Certified counts roll into one sponsor-ready report, and the back-catalog ad revenue lands in your account.
“I moved four years of episodes over on a Sunday and didn't lose a single subscriber. By Monday the retention graph told me our cold opens ran 90 seconds long. We cut them, and completion jumped twelve points the next week.”
“The city cohorts rewired how we tour. Austin and Lisbon were lighting up before anyone in those rooms told us, so we booked live tapings and sold both out. The data arrived before the fans did.”
“Dynamic ad insertion paid for our whole year by itself. We backfilled a new sponsor into 200 old episodes in an afternoon, and a catalog we'd written off started earning again. That was money we'd been leaving on the table for years.”
Start free, keep your feed forever, and pay more only when more people are actually listening. No download caps, no overage bill you didn't see coming.
For the first season.
For the show finding its people.
For studios running many shows.
No. We import your existing feed and set a 301 redirect from your old host, so every app moves your listeners across on its own. Most shows migrate a full back catalog in under a day without dropping a single subscriber.
Yes. Wavelength is certified to the IAB Tech Lab Podcast Measurement Guidelines v2.2, which deduplicates plays and filters bot traffic. The counts you hand a media buyer are the ones an auditor will trust.
Correct. Upload as many episodes as you like and serve as many listeners as you can earn — even on the free Indie plan. We never bill per-download bandwidth and never throttle an episode that takes off.
You mark the ad slots once. Wavelength stitches the right sponsor read into each download as it's served, targeted by location, device, or episode age. When a campaign ends, the ad clears from every episode at once — no re-uploading anything.
On the Network plan, yes. Add producers, editors, and hosts with role-based permissions, so the right people publish, read analytics, or manage sponsors without passing one password around.
Move the show over in an afternoon, keep every episode you've ever shipped, and finally watch what listeners actually do. Free to start, no card required.
