show.fm is a podcast operations platform for coordinating booking, preparation, publishing, promotion, follow-up, and team work in one workspace. Its AI pipeline can transcribe episodes, draft show notes, create social posts, and surface moments for highlights and audiograms. Booking pages manage time zones, calendar conflicts, intake forms, and confirmation emails; a confirmed booking creates an episode automatically. Workflow rules can send reminders, social posts, task nudges, co-host notifications, emails, and webhooks. Podcast hosting is included on every plan, with feeds served from a global edge network and audio described as triple-replicated with an external backup. Users can connect feeds from other RSS hosts, and the hosting page describes first-party, IAB-compliant plays and completion analytics. The maker also describes a REST API with bearer-token authentication, eight endpoints, six webhooks, and HMAC-signed webhooks. Plans include a free option and paid tiers from $19/mo (annual).
