PodLP Migrates to Podcast Index
PodLP for KaiOS has migrated to The Podcast Index, expanding its catalog to over 4 million podcasts and eliminating the need for manual submission to a separate index.
Why Migrate?
PodLP launched in June 2020, a few months before The Podcast Index launched in September 2020. At the time, Listen Notes was one of the only available podcast indexes, but at $180/m for just 5,000 requests, it was completely unaffordable. Since PodLP serves a large global community of listeners on budget feature phones, it doesn’t monetize at the same rate as listeners located primarily in the US or Europe. As a result, PodLP was built on its own podcast index and application programming interface (API) optimized for low cost.
