What they are
Spreaker
Spreaker is a podcast hosting and live-streaming platform used by independent creators and radio broadcasters to publish, distribute, and earn from audio content. It combines real-time broadcasting with on-demand hosting and connects episodes to major directories like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The integrated ad marketplace is a genuine draw for monetization, though the free tier is fairly limited in storage and upload hours.
Zencastr
Zencastr records each participant's audio and video locally on their own device, then uploads separate high-quality tracks to the cloud, eliminating the internet-connection degradation that plagues other remote recording tools. It is aimed at podcasters and interview-based creators who need clean, separated tracks without shipping microphones to guests. The built-in editing, transcription, and podcast hosting features cover the full production workflow in one place, though power editors will still reach for dedicated DAWs.
