Castos
At Castos, our goal is simple: Make podcasting easy and accessible to all.
We do this through things like our hosting platform, and our Seriously Simple Podcasting WordPress plugin integration. With all of our products, the goal is to provide solutions that are easy to use, are built with customers’ needs first, and give customer support that is truly heroic.
