Making credible health podcasts discoverable and accessible is core to our mission — and we don't want cost to be a barrier to that, for both creators and listeners. Basic listings are free because the more credible voices we have in the library, the more valuable it becomes for listeners and creators alike. For creators seeking additional services and support, we also offer paid membership tiers, including enhanced listings, access to our Slack community, podcast hosting, monetization support, and consulting. We also generate revenue through sponsorship of our events, awards, and newsletter, as well as display advertising on the platform. Visit our website for more information.

That's a fair question — and one that deserves a candid answer.

The reality is that podcasts don't get listens simply because they're on a podcast player. That's true whether your show is listed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or any other platform. Podcasters grow audiences by creating high-quality content, focusing on the listening experience, doing cross promotions, and connecting with audiences where they spend time — at events, on social media, on websites, through word-of-mouth recommendations, and, of course, through discovery on podcast apps.

But with millions of shows available on the major podcast platforms, the chances of your show getting the attention it deserves are not in your favor. We built Health Podcast Library to fix that.

What we can tell you is that many of our members have grown significantly — but we won't take credit for that. Growth comes from the work creators put in. What Health Podcast Library provides is a curated destination where credible health content is actively sought out by listeners who already care about quality. We do some of the lifting for listeners, so that when they find your show, they already have confidence in what they're about to hear.

What we can say with confidence is this: our mission is more aligned with yours than any general-purpose platform will ever be.

That's exactly what you get on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube — your show sits alongside millions of others with no distinction between what's credible and what isn't. Health Podcast Library exists specifically to change that. Every show in the library goes through a thorough review process, so you can be confident your podcast is in the company of other credible, evidence-based health content.

Yes — and we encourage it. The more you promote your listing, the more visibility your show gets, and the more valuable Health Podcast Library becomes for everyone in the community. We recommend linking directly to your show's page on Health Podcast Library wherever you promote your podcast.

Yes. We provide a "Listen on Health Podcast Library" badge that you can display on your website, in your email signature, and across your social media channels. We also provide shareable assets to help you let your audience know your show is part of Health Podcast Library.
