# Video Podcast Platform for Networks and Creators | Vodlix **Source:** https://vodlix.com/features/podcasts **Summary:** Launch a branded video podcast platform with shows, seasons, episodes and hosts on web, mobile and TV apps, and earn through ads, subscriptions or rentals. **Publisher:** Vodlix --- ## Podcasts Run a branded video podcast network with shows, seasons, episodes and hosts on web, mobile and TV. - **Feature Plan:** 2 - core-platform - content-management - front-end - mobile-app - tv-app ## Launch Your Own Video Podcast Platform Put your video podcasts on a platform with your name on it: a page for every show, seasons and episodes, on web, mobile and TV. ### A Video Podcast Platform That Belongs to You Vodlix is a video podcast platform that puts your shows on your own website and apps instead of someone else's feed. Each show gets its own page with seasons and episodes. Viewers watch in a player with your logo, on the web, on phones and on TV. The platform uses podcast words, so viewers browse Podcasts and Episodes, not Movies. You decide which episodes are free, which need a subscription and which are sold on their own. It is built for podcast networks and creators who now film their shows. #### Podcast show pages A page, seasons and episodes per show. #### Your own player Episodes play with your logo. #### Ads, subscriptions, rentals Earn the way that suits each show. ### Give Every Video Podcast Its Own Show Page Every show on your video podcast platform gets its own page, with a season picker and a list of episodes. Each episode shows its number, a short description and its running time. The hosts are named on the page too. New episodes join their season as soon as they are published, so the back catalogue stays in order on its own. Behind the scenes this uses the [series tools](/features/series-management) and the [Artists Manager](/features/artists-manager) for hosts. - mx-auto ### Play Video Podcast Episodes in Your Branded Player Your episodes play in your own player, with your logo on the screen. Before a viewer presses play, the player shows the episode title, its description and its tags. The same player has seeking, quality settings and fullscreen, which suits hour-long interviews and panels. You [upload an episode](/features/video-uploading-transcoding) once and Vodlix prepares it for every screen, so it streams on the web, in the mobile apps and on TV. - mx-auto ### Show Latest Episodes and Trending Podcasts on Web, Mobile and TV Your podcast home screen is made of rows you choose, such as Latest Episodes and Trending Podcasts. You build and order the rows with [content lists](/features/content-lists), without code. The same rows appear on your [website](/features/website), your [mobile apps](/features/mobile-apps) and your [TV apps](/features/tv-apps), all under your brand. If you are a creator building a business around your show, see how Vodlix works for [creators](/use-case/creators). - mx-auto ### Make Money From Your Video Podcast With Ads, Subscriptions or Paid Episodes You can earn from a video podcast with ads, subscriptions, one-off purchases or a mix. Keep main episodes free with [advertising](/features/advertisements). Put the back catalogue behind [subscription packages](/features/packages-subscriptions). Sell a bonus episode through [pay-per-view](/features/ppv-tvod), so viewers can rent it for a set number of hours or subscribe instead. You set a default for the whole platform and change it for any show or episode later. [OTT monetization models](/features/ott-monetization-models) explains how the models work together. - mx-auto ### Manage All Your Podcast Shows and Episodes in One Place Your team runs the whole podcast network from one admin panel. All shows sit on a Podcasts tab, each with its cover art, its number of seasons and how it earns. Add Podcast starts a new show, and episodes are added to its seasons. The same place works whether the network has three shows or thirty. - mx-auto ### Use Podcast Words Instead of Movie Words Across Your Platform Vodlix can call everything by its podcast name, in the admin panel and on the storefront. Pick Podcasts & Talk when you set up the platform, and the Podcast template calls a series a Podcast, a video an Episode, an artist a Host and a short a Clip. You can change any single word, and Live TV starts off but can be turned on for live recordings. Setup also offers a Podcasts & Talk Shows demo catalog, so you can see the platform working before your first upload. See all templates on [platform templates](/features/platform-templates). - mx-auto **Q: Can I start a video podcast network on Vodlix?** Yes. Vodlix has a Podcasts & Talk platform type and a Podcast terminology template. Each show gets a page with seasons and episodes, hosts are credited as Hosts, and the network runs on your own website, mobile apps and TV apps under your brand. **Q: Does Vodlix use podcast terms like Episodes, Podcasts and Hosts?** Yes. The Podcast terminology template renames the content types in the admin panel and on the storefront, so viewers browse Episodes and Podcasts instead of Movies and TV Shows. You can change any single label if your network prefers another word. **Q: How do I make money from a video podcast?** Vodlix supports ads (AVOD), subscriptions (SVOD), pay-per-view or rental (TVOD) and a mix of these. You set a default for the platform and can change the model for any show or episode later in the editor. **Q: Can I try a video podcast platform before uploading my own episodes?** Yes. During setup you can load the Podcasts & Talk Shows demo catalog, which fills the platform with sample categories, rows, videos and series. You can remove all the sample content in one step from the settings when you are ready to launch. **Q: Which devices can viewers watch my video podcast on?** Vodlix publishes the same catalogue to your branded website, iOS and Android apps and TV apps, so every show and episode is available on the screens your audience uses.
