Technical details

We have a file size limit of 1GB and 10 hours per episode. We support many different file types including:

• MP3
• FLAC

We re-encode all audio files to distribute them in the following format:

Loudness Normalization

We recommend normalizing your audio to -16 LUFS - this is in line with most of the podcast industry, including Apple Podcasts. (However, it's worth noting that Spotify & Youtube suggest -14 LUFS.)

We assume that you've already normalized your audio according to your preferences, so we don't do any re-normalization on uploaded files.
