Announcing a Bold new Version of CastRoller

We just launched a brand new version of CastRoller which comes with a great new look and feel as well as many great new features. Read on to learn more about the new site or visit CastRoller to see it for yourself.

New Channel Page

When viewing a Channel on CastRoller, you’ll be immediately shown a large player perfect for viewing video or listening to audio. More episodes from the channel are shown in a playlist right next to the player, letting you skip through all of the episodes in the channel. With this update, you’ll find that you are enjoying a lot more great content on CastRoller.

Episode Page

Similar to the new Channel page, the Episode page now also shows a playlist of more episodes for you to enjoy. You can click to immediately start playing more episodes from the same podcast, or start related episodes from other podcasts.

Also, when podcasters include full show notes in their feeds, the information is now available right on the Episode page. Just click “Full Description” to have the full show notes displayed on the page.

Podcasts

The big news for Podcasts is that podcasters can now claim their podcasts on CastRoller. This lets them update the details for the podcast as well as set options for how the podcast appears on CastRoller.

We have also revamped the podcast directory. The top podcast and episode lists are now refreshed more often and the information is now based on recent activity on CastRoller, so the lists are more dynamic and highlight the best content on CastRoller.

User Home Page

When you log in to CastRoller and view your personalized home page, you’ll see a new interface that makes it easier to check the content that is personalized for you. The new tabs allow you to switch between your sections quickly and easily.

This new version opens the door to a lot of new features to come soon. Be sure to check out CastRoller Blog to read about updates as they happen.
