Does Podbean Work in China?

By Marcos SabioLast Updated on Mar 31, 2025

What is Podbean?

Founded in 2006, Podbean is a podcast hosting and monetisation platform that allows users to publish, distribute, and monetise podcasts. It offers features such as unlimited hosting, live streaming, dynamic ad insertion, and built-in analytics. Podbean integrates with major podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.

Is Podbean Available in China?

Podbean’s website and services are partially accessible in China. However, Western-hosted content may experience slow loading speeds, buffering, or outright blocking due to The Great Firewall of China. Additionally, podcast distribution via platforms like Spotify and Google Podcasts is severely restricted. If Podbean’s hosting servers are located outside China, playback performance may be unreliable for mainland listeners.
