How to Prevent Ad-Blockers from Blocking TWiT Podcasts
To deliver high-quality podcasts to our listeners and provide advertisers with accurate performance metrics, TWiT's podcast downloads are routed through analytics and measurement systems. This infrastructure helps us gather download statistics and share performance data with the advertisers who support our free content. However, some ad-blocking software may inadvertently add these analytics services or our hosting provider to their block lists, which can prevent you from accessing TWiT podcasts entirely.
If you're experiencing issues downloading or streaming our shows, your ad-blocker may be interfering with these essential services. The good news is that this is easy to fix by adding a few trusted domains to your ad-blocker's allow list (sometimes called a whitelist).
Recommended Domains to Allow
To ensure uninterrupted access to all TWiT content, we recommend adding the following domains to your ad-blocker's allow list:
- twit.tv - Our main website that you're reading right now
- cachefly.net - Our primary content delivery network that hosts most of our podcast media files
- libsyn.com - Libsyn hosts some of our audio content
- megaphone.fm - Megaphone hosts some of our content
- pdst.fm - Spotify Ad Analytics (formerly Podsights) for download tracking
- pscrb.fm - Podscribe analytics service
- mgln.ai - Magellan analytics platform
- memberfulcontent.com - Memberful hosts our premium Club TWiT feeds
These domains are essential for delivering our podcast content and measuring our audience reach. Please note that these analytics services are commonly used by many major podcast networks, so allowing these domains may also affect ad-blocking on other podcasting platforms. However, if your ad-blocker is currently blocking these domains, you may already be experiencing issues accessing podcasts from other podcast networks as well.
Club TWiT Members: If you're a Club TWiT member, your private podcast feeds do not include any ad tracking or analytics routing. You'll only need to allow twit.tv, cachefly.net, and memberfulcontent.com to access your ad-free premium content.
Note: This page will be updated if and when our hosting, delivery, or analytics partners change in the future, so bookmark it for future reference.
