PodProtect™

Someone could be republishing your podcast right now.

PodProtect checks the podcast world every day for copies of your show, even ones renamed to hide. When it finds one, you get the proof and a takedown notice ready to sign.

No spam, and we never share your address.

Copies don't announce themselves.

Anyone can paste a public podcast feed into a hosting site and republish it under their own account. Your downloads, your ad money and your chart ranking can quietly go to someone else. Most hosts never find out until a listener tells them.

  • Copies of your episodes

    Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Spreaker, iHeart and the open web, checked every day.

  • Copies that changed the name

    We match the actual audio, so a new title, new cover or an ad stuck on the front doesn't hide it.

  • Copies that already got deleted

    Search engines remember pages after they come down. We find those too, so you know how far it spread.

  • Shows using your name or artwork

    Impersonators that borrow your name, your description or your cover art get flagged.

  • Changes to your own feed

    If your feed's owner email or title changes and you didn't do it, you hear about it.

  • Whether your feed is locked

    Most shows are missing the setting that tells other hosts to refuse importing them. We check it and tell you how to switch it on.

How it works

  1. Add your show

    Give us your feed. Nothing to install, and you don't change hosts.

  2. We listen every day

    Every episode is fingerprinted and checked against shows across the major platforms.

  3. You get an alert

    Only when something real turns up, with where it is and when we found it.

  4. Sign and send

    The proof is saved and the takedown notice is filled in. You sign it and send it.

What it found on its first test

We ran PodProtect on one independent show whose host knew it had been copied. It found every copy below without being told where to look.

Questions

Will PodProtect take the copies down for me?

We do the hard part: finding the copy, saving the proof and filling in the takedown notice for the right platform. You sign it and send it. The platform makes the final call, and with clear proof they usually act.

Do I need to switch hosts or install anything?

No. PodProtect works from your public feed. Your show stays exactly where it is.

What if they renamed my show?

That's what the audio matching is for. A copy can change the title, the description and the artwork, but it can't change the recording.

How often does it check?

Every day, plus a deeper check of your whole back catalog over time. You only hear from us when something real turns up.

Why can't I sign up today?

We're opening in small groups so every show gets watched properly from day one. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first in.

Be first in line when we open.
