What SoundStack is
SoundStack is a platform for live streaming and podcasting, combining delivery, monetization, and measurement tools. Its Engine CDN provides real-time global audio orchestration, and users can configure streaming infrastructure such as ingests, edge delivery, and load balancing through a UI or API. Podcaster supports creating and editing shows and episodes, hosting, delivery, monetization, and measurement. It creates RSS feeds for directories or show websites and supports pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads, including dynamic insertion when a listener downloads or streams. Broadcasters can use Splice to create podcasts from live streams or send episodes to station playlists. Connectors links publisher inventory with selected SSPs, DSPs, and ad servers, including multiple connections at once. Audience Analytics combines podcast and streaming data in one dashboard with historical and real-time information, dayparting, and APIs. SoundStack says its podcast reporting has IAB Podcast 2.1 certification. Podcaster also offers a white-label interface and API. Pricing is on request because digital audio strategies and goals differ.
