How to Set Up A Private Podcast on Duda

If you’re using Duda to build your website and want to share your podcast privately — maybe to a paying audience or a select group of fans — you might have noticed that Duda’s built-in tools aren’t quite enough. Sure, you can upload audio files, but organizing, protecting, and monetizing your podcast episodes? That’s a different story.

That’s where MemberSpace comes in. It’s a simple way to turn your Duda site into a membership platform for your podcast. You can upload your episodes, organize them neatly, and control who gets access — all in one place.

Here’s how you can get started.

The easiest way to accept membership payments or one-time charges for digital products like podcasts, online courses, communities, content libraries, and more — all from your own website!

Step 1: Get MemberSpace Set Up on Your Duda Site

First things first: create a MemberSpace account for free. 

Then, you’ll add a small piece of code to your Duda website’s header. Don’t worry — it’s just a quick copy-and-paste job. Once that’s done, MemberSpace will be connected to your site and ready to upload your podcast content. 

Step 2: Upload and Organize Your Podcast Episodes

Instead of juggling multiple platforms, you can upload your audio files directly to MemberSpace. This keeps everything in one place and makes managing your episodes much easier.

MemberSpace lets you create “Spaces” — think of these as folders or categories — to organize your episodes however you like. You could group them by season, topic, or month. You can even nest folders inside spaces for extra organization.

This way, your members can easily browse through your content without getting overwhelmed.

Step 3: Set Up Your Pricing Plans

Now for the fun part: deciding how you want to share your podcast.

With MemberSpace, you can:

  • Offer free access to some or all episodes
  • Charge a monthly subscription
  • Sell one-time access to specific episodes or collections
  • Create multiple membership levels — for example, a basic tier for podcast access and a premium tier with extra perks like coaching or bonus content
  • Offer free trials or discounts to attract new members

This flexibility means you can tailor your membership offerings to fit your audience and goals.

Once you set up your plan, you’ll get a signup link that you can share wherever you’d like. This link opens the signup/checkout forms for your listeners to subscribe to your podcast and instantly get access to all your episodes.
