Create member-only podcasts with Ghost CMS and Transistor.fm

Ghost publishers like @tanglenews, @LeverNews, @404Mediaco, and Platformer already use private podcasts as a paid membership perk. Now there's an official integration between Ghost CMS and Transistor that keeps your subscriber list automatically in sync: when someone upgrades, they get access; when they cancel, it's revoked. This video walks through the full setup and everything you can do with it. 🔗 Try Transistor free for 14 days → https://transistor.fm/?via=youtube 🔗 Learn more about Ghost → https://ghost.org Timestamps: 0:00 Why private podcasts work as a membership perk 0:49 Setting up a private podcast in Transistor 1:22 Enabling the Transistor integration in Ghost 1:50 Connecting Ghost to Transistor and importing members 2:34 Choosing who gets access (all members, paid only, or specific tiers) 3:20 What paying members see in their Ghost account portal 3:55 Adding the podcast to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any app 4:20 Embedding the private podcast in Ghost posts and pages 5:20 What free members see (and the upgrade prompt) 6:07 Sending a welcome email with private podcast access 6:42 Live sync: what happens when a member cancels 7:27 Granting complimentary access to specific members 7:42 Opening access to all free members 8:17 Automatic episode email notifications 9:00 Wrap-up
