Blubrry Podcasting, one of the largest podcast hosting companies globally, announced that it is partnering with an Austin, Texas-based company Stagepass to expand monetization options for its users. This move will allow users to increase the ways in which they make income for their shows.

Blubrry, which supports over 100 thousand podcasters and shows, currently has a vast array of services including affiliate, advertising – dynamic advertising insertion – and survey monetization options among its offerings, and can help to provide financial self-sufficiency for its users.

Stagepass is a marketplace for hosts (creatives) to list experiences for auction to their audiences. Experiences on Stagepass are constructed by the creative that auctions them and can be in-person, online, or over the phone.

Experiences listed at Stagepass appeal to audience members who seek deeper engagement with the creatives whose media they consume. The partnership provides Blubrry users an early-mover advantage in a nascent industry.

“We’re excited to be the first podcast hosting company to partner with Stagepass and jump in with a refreshing new take on monetization,” said MacKenzie Bennett, Marketing Service Coordinator, Blubrry. “Now, more than ever, podcasters need to take risks and think outside the box to impress their audience.”
