About VoxPort
Creator-first. AT Protocol powered. RSS compatible. Studio is the product.
Our Story
VoxPort was built for podcasters who refuse to accept the status quo. For creators who know their voice deserves better than platform lock-in, algorithmic opacity, and the constant fear that tomorrow their audience could disappear with a policy change.
We are not "another podcast host." We are building the publishing layer for decentralized audio. Creator-controlled platform that uses AT Protocol as the identity and record layer, while still distributing everywhere through RSS.
VoxPort is the source of truth. Everything else becomes distribution.
The Problem We Are Solving
Traditional podcast platforms store your audio, generate your RSS, and lock you into their account system. Your identity is their property. Your audience relationship is mediated by their algorithms. Your content exists at their mercy.
The Cost of Centralization:
- Identity lock-in: Switching platforms means losing your audience history
- Algorithmic gatekeeping: Discovery controlled by opaque recommendation systems
- Platform risk: Policy changes can demonetize or deplatform overnight
- Audience ownership: You do not truly own your subscriber relationships
- Data portability: Exporting often means starting over
Our Solution: Protocol-Native Publishing
AT Protocol Identity
Your podcast identity lives at the protocol layer as a Decentralized Identifier (DID). VoxPort becomes infrastructure, not a gatekeeper. Move between hosts without losing your audience.
Dual Distribution
RSS for legacy ecosystem compatibility (Apple, Spotify, etc.). AT Protocol for open social discovery and portable identity. Two parallel systems, one publishing workflow.
Canonical Truth
VoxPort database stores canonical metadata. AT Protocol handles identity and social graph. You control audio, metadata, identity, and feed structure.
What VoxPort Enables
For Podcasters
- •Upload and store audio securely via presigned URLs
- •Create series and episodes with full metadata control
- •Generate RSS feeds automatically for all major platforms
- •Publish ATProto records for decentralized discovery
- •Maintain portable identity via DID
- •Host public series pages with embedded players
For Listeners
- •Stream directly from VoxPort public pages
- •Subscribe via RSS to any podcast app
- •Future: ATProto-native discovery and cross-app listening
- •Future: Identity-linked subscriptions and social features
Studio First. Protocol Later.
VoxPort Studio is the proving ground. The canonical implementation. The first fully integrated ATProto podcast publisher.
We are validating the upload workflow, metadata schema, RSS compatibility, PDS publishing, and deployment viability. Only after Studio proves the model will we release a public SDK for others to build upon.
Studio validates the vision. Then the protocol opens for everyone.
Our Core Thesis
"Making platforms distribution endpoints, not authorities."
VoxPort Studio is not trying to replace Spotify or Apple Podcasts. We are trying to make them distribution endpoints, not authorities. The platform you publish to makes VoxPort the publishing core. Everything else becomes output.
