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.
Sharing✨ New
🔗Customize every shared cluster link independently
Create different views of the same cluster for a sponsor, partner, or internal team. Each share link can control visible metrics, branding, sections, and earned media value without changing the source cluster.
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.

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.
