Castee vs Squarespace for podcast websites
Squarespace is a general website builder. Castee is built only for podcasts — starting from your RSS feed, not a blank page.

Our take
Castee wins on podcast workflow (RSS-first import, episode sync, podcast schema) and raw performance. Squarespace suits broader business sites where podcast is a small section.
