OCTOBER 2026
Everything we shipped in October
The Listener API, Listener for Brands, ad verification for short-form, an AI cluster builder, onboarding at scale and new hosting integrations.
Hey there,
As October comes to a close, we're heading into the end of the year, which means renewal season. We've been working on so many features that help with campaign renewals.
Here's what we shipped this October.
01
The Listener API is live
We rolled out the Listener API and made big improvements to our MCP. Your omni-channel podcast data can now live in your spreadsheets, client portals, data warehouse and AI assistant.
Pull your data anywhere. Shows, reach, episode clusters, campaigns and reports through one REST API, with webhooks when anything changes.
Ask your campaigns anything. Connect Claude or ChatGPT through the Listener MCP and ask how every campaign is pacing in plain English.
Get started in minutes. Docs, API keys and a live console at developers.listener.com.
02
Listener for Brands
Publishers can now invite their sponsors and advertisers to follow along with a campaign live, or simply view the finished campaign, inside their own Listener login.
Their own view. Goal vs delivered, a by-show breakdown and a CSV export they can cut their own way.
You stay in control. Choose what each brand sees, and manage every invite from the new Brands tab.
03
Ad verification for short-form
Air Checks now verify brand mentions across social clips, not just full episodes. Captions, logos on screen and spoken reads are all checked, with a review queue for anything that needs a second look.
04
The AI cluster builder
We keep making rapid improvements to help you find every social clip tied to your episode, from your own channels and from outside accounts. It shows why it picked each clip and queues everything for a quick review.
05
Onboarding at scale
Onboarding new shows just got much easier. Type in the name of your show and Listener finds all of your social accounts instantly, then connects them in one click.
06
New hosting integrations
Buzzsprout, Podigee, Podbean and Spreaker now connect to Listener, so downloads flow straight into your analytics and reports.
As October comes to a close, we're heading into the end of the year, which means renewal season. Everything above was built to help you prove what you delivered and win the next campaign.
Let's make this renewal season your best one yet. Book 20 minutes with our team and we'll show you how it all works with your own shows.
Thanks for reading,
Casey Adams
Founder & CEO, Listener.com
