"Why not just
use YouTube?"
Great question. We hear it all the time. Here's exactly what you get here that YouTube, Spotify, and every free platform simply can't offer.

The Independent Podcaster
The Problem
You've been uploading to Spotify for 2 years. 10,000 listeners. Revenue: $0.
With PWACAST
On FMGCAST, 1,000 listeners paying $4.99/mo = $4,240/mo in your pocket.
The Corporate Brand
The Problem
Your YouTube channel got demonetized mid-campaign. Content restricted without warning.
With PWACAST
FMGCAST gives you a private, white-label channel with NDA protection. You control it.
The Interview Show Host
The Problem
You film amazing guests on your phone. Audio is rough. No one tunes in past 2 minutes.
With PWACAST
Book our studio. We handle lights, mics, editing. Your guests feel like they're on CBC.
The Growing Creator
The Problem
YouTube algorithm tanked your reach after a policy change. 50% drop overnight.
With PWACAST
Your PWACAST subscribers are yours. No algorithm. Email them, push-notify them, own the relationship.
The Revenue Math
What 1,000 loyal listeners is worth on each platform.
Spotify
$0–18
/year total
Free to host, but $0.003–$0.005/stream. 1,000 plays = ~$4. Paid subscriptions: Spotify takes 5%, but only available in their closed ecosystem.
YouTube
$200–600
/year total
Ad revenue only. YouTube keeps ~45%. Algorithm controls your reach. 1,000 views ≠ 1,000 listeners.
PWACAST
$4,990+
/month
If 1,000 listeners pay $4.99/mo, you keep 85%+. You own the relationship. No algorithm. No middleman.
* Spotify hosting is free but pays ~$0.003–0.005/stream with no direct creator subscriptions. PWACAST assumes 1,000 paid subscribers at $4.99/mo on Remote Creator plan (85% kept = $4,241.50/mo).
