Product changelog

The meaningful updates we’ve shipped across analytics, campaigns, reports, integrations, and sponsorship workflows.

July 2026

New ways to plan sponsorships, verify campaigns, and bring newsletter performance into the same view as every other channel.

4 updates
Sponsorships✨ New

Sponsorship packages now become ready-to-send media plans

Build packages around the inventory you actually sell, then generate a polished plan with package-aware pricing, deliverables, availability, and audience context. Plans stay connected to inbox conversations so teams can move from an inquiry to a proposal without rebuilding the details.

Integrations✨ New

Substack joins Listener as a first-party integration

Connect a newsletter and see subscribers, open rate, click-through rate, recent posts, and growth alongside podcast and social performance. Substack data is also available in media-kit stats, host profiles, follower summaries, cluster reports, and network analytics.

Campaigns✨ New

Scan an entire show or advertiser with Bulk Air Checks

Run sponsorship verification across many episodes at once, resume longer scans, exclude specific shows or spots, and see a clear success or failure reason for every item. Public Air Check reports now open with an advertiser-level verification summary.

Integrations✨ New

Use Sprout Social as a Facebook data source

Teams that manage Facebook through Sprout Social can connect with their own API token and bring profile and post performance into Listener without changing their publishing workflow.

June 2026

A big month for shareable analytics, richer public pages, faster cluster building, and first-party Instagram insights.

6 updates
Clusters🛠️ Improved

Create episode clusters from a list of YouTube links

Paste a batch of YouTube URLs to create multiple clusters in one pass. Listener resolves the video details, prevents duplicates, and automatically treats videos of three minutes or less as short-form content.

Analytics✨ New

Deeper first-party Instagram Business insights

Connected Instagram Business accounts now surface watch time, saves, profile activity, follower demographics, and other account-only insights. Listener automatically uses the strongest available first-party source across analytics and public profiles.

Reporting✨ New

Share any analytics chart with a public link

Turn a chart into a focused, read-only page that can be sent to a partner or dropped into a campaign recap. Shared charts preserve the selected metric, timeframe, and presentation without exposing the rest of your dashboard.

Public pages🛠️ Improved

Public pages tell a richer, more consistent story

Network branding now carries through to individual show and campaign pages, with per-page overrides when a project needs its own look. Public profiles also gained Top Content, cluster-sourced custom stats, stronger social metadata, and publication-style cards for article coverage.

Clusters✨ New

Add Instagram Stories to episode clusters

Stories can now be included even after they expire. Add an external Story, set its original date, attach or replace the creative, preview it in a lightbox, and keep the source link with the rest of the campaign evidence.

Analytics✨ New

A dedicated Hosts view for network analytics

Networks can compare hosts across shows with consolidated audience and social reach, search and sort the roster, and export the view for planning or sales conversations.

May 2026

Campaign reporting became more flexible with Air Checks, earned media value, customizable share links, and a stronger cluster editor.

5 updates
Clusters🛠️ Improved

More expressive episode cluster reports

Override a cluster title, add editorial annotations, paste many external URLs at once, copy clusters between shows, and export the underlying content URLs. These controls make it faster to turn a busy campaign into a clean narrative.

Integrations✨ New

A guided setup for the Listener MCP server

Connect Listener data to supported AI tools from a dedicated settings page. The new guide provides the server details and step-by-step setup for ChatGPT and Claude in one place.

Campaigns✨ New

Campaign Air Checks verify sponsorship delivery

Analyze podcast and YouTube content for ad reads, review matched evidence in a focused drawer, filter results, and connect verification back to campaigns. Cross-channel checks make it easier to show what ran and where.

Campaigns✨ New

Earned media value across campaign reporting

Campaign reports can now translate cross-platform reach into an estimated media value. Set network defaults, override rates by show, control whether EMV appears on shared pages, and keep the calculation consistent from a cluster to the campaign total.

April 2026

We brought reporting, automations, campaigns, and another major podcast host into a more connected workspace.

4 updates
Integrations✨ New

First-party Omny Studio analytics

Connect Omny Studio to bring shows, episodes, downloads, and audience performance into Listener. Omny data now flows through dashboards, reports, campaign views, clusters, public stats, and scheduled updates.

Reporting🛠️ Improved

A new home for reports and delivery automations

Create, organize, preview, and relaunch reports from a dedicated workspace. Automations gained reusable configuration, clearer delivery status, dynamic titles, and more dependable Slack and email delivery.

Reporting✨ New

Tune earned media value with custom CPM rates

Set the CPM assumptions used for audio, video, social, and other cluster content so estimated value reflects the way your organization prices media.

Campaigns✨ New

Plan and manage campaigns in one workspace

Create campaign timelines, connect episode clusters, manage planned and published placements, edit dates inline, and keep delivery metrics attached to the right campaign. Drafts and reconciliation checks protect work as plans change.

March 2026

Comparison tools, campaign analytics, and a guided setup made it easier for teams to get from raw data to a useful story.

3 updates
Analytics✨ New

Compare shows side by side

Select multiple shows in network analytics to compare podcast, social, and cluster performance in the same view. The same comparison scope can carry into the report builder and scheduled reports.

Workspace🛠️ Improved

A guided setup for shows, teams, and network scope

New accounts now move through a focused onboarding flow that helps them choose the right workspace, add a show, and invite collaborators before landing in the full product.

Campaigns✨ New

Campaign analytics by platform

Campaign pages gained a dedicated analytics view with platform breakdowns, performance totals, and CSV export. Teams can move from a calendar of placements to a measurable cross-channel recap.

February 2026

Public campaign pages and broader podcast-platform coverage made Listener useful across more shows and more reporting workflows.

4 updates
Public pages✨ New

Choose what appears on public profiles

Display settings now give owners direct control over the analytics, sections, and connected platforms shown to visitors, with an owner preview to check the final page before sharing.

Integrations✨ New

More podcast hosts inside episode clusters

Simplecast, Transistor, and ART19 content can now be loaded directly into clusters with podcast-specific dates, artwork, and listener metrics. Lazy loading keeps larger episode histories manageable.

Campaigns✨ New

Share campaigns outside the dashboard

Publish a campaign index or detailed campaign page under a Listener profile so partners can review placements, creative, and performance without signing in.

Clusters🛠️ Improved

One flow for creating episode clusters

Start with Spotify, YouTube, or a manual entry from the same creation flow. Add artwork, select the right content, and see reach totals organized by audio, video, and social channels.

January 2026

We started the year by making reports easier to build, share, and deliver on a schedule.

4 updates
Analytics🛠️ Improved

A consistent KPI library across every channel

Reports and analytics gained a shared set of audience, reach, engagement, and average-performance metrics for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Beehiiv, and major podcast platforms.

Inventory🛠️ Improved

Plan podcast inventory across the full year

The inventory calendar now supports a 365-day view with clearer availability details, larger bulk plans, and tooltips that make dense schedules easier to read.

Reporting✨ New

Schedule reports and deliver them to Slack

Turn a report into a recurring automation and send fresh performance updates to a connected Slack channel. A daily delivery service keeps reports moving without a manual export each time.

Reporting✨ New

Share polished reports with live platform totals

Report Builder gained episode-level content, interactive links, combined platform totals, PDF-friendly links, and a public report page designed for sharing beyond the Listener workspace.
