Major Brands Launch Podcasts on Libsyn Platform to Extend Reach

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2018 / Liberated Syndication, Inc.

In the first five months of 2018 Libsyn has seen more than 30% growth in new shows across the platform over the same period in 2017.

Libsyn provides the tools to reach listeners across 25 distribution points including podcast aggregators, websites and social media outlets.”
