Blubrry has a WordPress plugin that integrates called PowerPress that makes it so that your blog can stage as the place to upload your audio and order it as podcasts to be included on iTunes.
The main issue lies with the analytics. As is, there is some delay between the publishing and the first points of data for feedback, so depending on the need it can be improper. Also basic data is available but such data that delineates demographics and such is behind a paywall.
I wanted to house my podcast on my blog at the time and it did so well and allowed me to setup podcasts for iTunes and work on organizing the episodes as well. At the time without PowerPress I wouldn't have set it up nor it be a successful attempt.
The daily analytics reports that it produces are helpful, and the good value for the cost paid. We have multiple podcasts using some of the features of the service.
The UI doesn't seem intuitive and once set up if you want to tweak things as you learn more about how the service functions, it is not easy to make adjustements.
Currently, we are using it solely for analytics due to limitations within the service. We are slowly looking to transition away from it to a more robust podcast platform.
My favorite thing about blubrry is that it provides all the tools you could need for a podcast in one spot. It allows you to upload a podcast, edit the podcast, and even see the results/stats of the podcast all while connecting to other podcast platforms.
I do not like the user interface of blubrry. When it comes to things on the backend, the system is really hard to work as there is pointless inconsistencies throughout the site.
Blubrry is helping us achieve our podcast goals. As mentioned, it allows us to do all podcast things in one place..all while being able to connect to all the other podcast platforms and their audiences.
The ease of uploading and getting the feed updated, the UI is super simple to navigate after uploads to track progress too!
The default UI for their players could be much more modern and uplifting.
