What Listener.com does

Listener.com is an AI-powered podcast analytics platform that unifies audience and performance data across audio, video, and social channels into a single dashboard. The company serves podcast networks, individual creators, agencies, and brands, with named anchor customers including PodcastOne (a Nasdaq-listed podcast network of 200 shows with 3.9 billion cumulative downloads and over 1 billion monthly impressions), Sport Social Podcast Network, reVolver Podcasts, Genting, and WRK. Founded circa 2020 and operating as Listener.com Holdings Inc., a Delaware C-corp headquartered in Los Angeles, the company runs with a 1–10 person team and is led by Founder and CEO Casey Adams.

The platform ingests data from 14+ external systems — Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Podcasts, Megaphone, Acast, ART19, Simplecast, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Eventbrite, and Slack — refreshed daily. Core AI-driven features include Listener AI (a natural-language analytics assistant), Total Listener Value (a cross-channel media value metric), Episode Clusters (AI-powered asset matching that syncs audio, video, short-form, and social posts back to full episodes), a Listener Heat Map for geographic audience and event visualization, a Unified Network Dashboard, role-based Access Controls, Inventory Management for ad campaigns, Custom Forms & Inbox for sponsor and guest submissions, and Sales Enablement Pages for verified cross-platform sponsor pitches.

Monetization is structured as a three-tier SaaS subscription billed annually with a stated 18% discount: Essential at $49/month for individual podcasters, Pro at $249/month for podcasters and small teams with AI Sponsor Finder and three team seats, and a Network enterprise tier starting at $1,000/month for podcast networks with predictive Listener AI, audience overlap analytics, white-label reporting, role-based permissions, and white-glove onboarding. Distribution combines self-serve product-led growth for the lower tiers, a dedicated enterprise field-sales motion anchored on a public demo funnel (cal.com/listener/networks), event-driven demand generation, content marketing through the company blog, and co-marketing via integration partners (Eventbrite, PodcastOne). No funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity are disclosed; ownership and management appear founder-led.
