In last 2 months, we implemented a lot of new features.(means many sleepless nights). We were too busy to blog the new features here. However, we will start to present new features in this blog more often from now on. Enjoy!

Podbean Geographic Podcast stats is powered by Google Map. Now it’s easy to see where your audience comes from.

This is what you will get:

We are glad to announce that Podbean.com starts to provide “Monthly Archive Disk Space” in all paid package.

The Podbean “Monthly Archive Disk Space” plan is designed to meet your ever growing needs on disk storage space. If you are a regular podcaster, you will quickly realize — one day, your upload files will grow out of your disk space quota. With the Podbean “Monthly Archive Disk Space” plan, you don’t need to worry about the disk quota limitation any more. You can simply choose one of the Podbean services which can meet your growing pace. Should your uploaded files grow out of your current active disk quota, you can choose to archive some old files and make fresh rooms for new files. The archived files are still accessible and stored on our reliable archive server. So all your old posts are still reachable by your audience.

If you have posts in another Blog site, such as, Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, Textpattern, Wordpress and so on. Now you can easily import all your previous posts into your Podbean account. In Dashboard, click “Import” at the top menu, paste the blog RSS feed URL into the text field, then Click “Import”. All the posts of this blog will be imported. Happy Podcasting.

A native iTunes Music store publishing mechanism is built in all Podbean.com podcast hosting services. Now any podcaster can easily pulish podcast into iTunes music store. Podbean.com built-in iTunes Music Store mechanism not only enhances the podcast audio file and RSS feed to best take advantage of iTunes and iTunes Music Store (iTMS) podcast directory, but also allow podcasters to easily set/change all iTunes advance settings in one page. In podbean.com user account, Settings iTunes/Advanced section, a podcaster can easily change the artwork — the icon/image that will be shown in iTunes, set TTL to define how often iTunes update your podcast, set language, modify iTunes summary, change title, change category, change keywords …… The best part is all these functions are available in our Free podcast account.
