RSS.com, a leading podcast hosting platform, is excited to introduce Free Local & Niche, a truly free plan designed to help new podcasters start and grow shows that serve specific communities, interests, and audiences.
With Free Local & Niche, RSS.com has removed the limits imposed by other platforms so that local and niche podcasters can publish unlimited episodes, reach listeners across every major podcast app, and access professional-grade tools at no cost.
What is Free Local & Niche?
Free Local & Niche is RSS.com’s free hosting plan built for creators who focus on community-driven or highly specialized topics. Whether you cover local news, neighborhood stories, hobby-based discussions, or niche expertise, this plan gives you the tools to reach your targeted audience without limits.
Why Free Local & Niche stands out
Some hosting companies that offer free plans limit the number of minutes you can publish per month, and others delete your free episodes after a certain time. Our free plan is truly free: a student, a pastor, a journalist, or anyone focusing on a local community can start their podcast with unlimited episodes. Paid plans unlock more features, but are not required. This makes podcasting for anyone genuinely accessible to everyone.
RSS.com’s Free Local & Niche features include:
- Unlimited episodes and audio – no storage caps or upload limits
- Free podcast website – automatically generated, customizable, and shareable
- Episode scheduling and transcripts – plan, publish, and improve accessibility
- Automatic app distribution – appear on major listening platforms with one click
- Promotion tools and Podroll recommendations – grow through cross-promotion and curated discovery
- Listen funding and Value for Value tools – accept direct support, including Bitcoin payments
- Enhanced email privacy and copyright protection – protect your identity and your content
- Location tag – showcase where your stories are from and locations they are about
- Customer support – get help when you need it, even on a free plan

Podcasting is now truly within reach for anyone, anywhere and RSS.com is proud to be the home for local and niche podcasts around the world. If you already have a show, bring it here … or start a new one for free. Together, we can create a tapestry of voices that celebrate and strengthen communities. We’ll provide the platform, and you’ll build the community.” – Ben Richardson, Co-Founder of RSS.com
