ART19
What it is
ART19 is a web and API platform for podcast hosting, creation, distribution, monetization, and measurement. Publishers can use WarpFeed dynamic ad insertion to select ad breaks, replace older ads, and deliver listener-specific ads. Campaign tools support episode, geographic, and positional targeting, plus competitive separation and frequency capping. Custom RSS feeds can serve different listening platforms, including exclusive or ad-free experiences. ART19 distributes shows through manual submission to services such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Deezer, iHeart, Pandora, TuneIn, and YouTube. Analytics include downloads, impressions, API listens, geographic breakdowns, and user-agent listening, with custom reports for networks, series, episodes, campaigns, ads, agencies, and brands. The platform supports dynamically inserted spots and host-recorded reads, private podcasts, video podcast distribution in a beta, and third-party measurement integrations. Pricing is on request, with usage-based hosting billed according to bandwidth.
