About
Podro is podcast hosting for creators and businesses, founded by Jake Skinner and built by Nova Social Ltd.
Our story
Jake Skinner has spent his career in marketing, helping businesses across the UK get noticed. Along the way, podcasts became one of his favourite tools. A good show builds trust in a way an advert never can: people spend half an hour with your voice, on their commute or at the gym, and they come away feeling they know you.
But every time a business started a podcast, the same things got in the way. RSS feeds. File formats. Artwork that Apple rejects. A dozen podcast apps, each with its own rules. Hosting tools that seemed built for audio engineers, not for the business owners and creators actually making the shows. Great ideas stalled before the first episode ever went out.
Podro is the platform Jake wished those businesses had. Upload an episode once and it reaches Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and every other app. Your show gets its own website, honest stats and, if you're just starting, a hand naming it. The technical side is handled, so you can get on with the talking.
Meet the founder
Founder, Podro
Jake's background is in marketing. He has used podcasts to promote businesses across the UK, which showed him first-hand how powerful a show can be, and how much needless friction there is in getting one out into the world. He started Podro to make publishing a podcast as straightforward as posting on social media.
