Phanatik: the news and podcast theme built to publish

Phanatik is a clean, theme built for modern publishers, podcasters, and editorial teams.
With oversized headlines, flexible paywalls, and a custom audio player, it brings long-form writing and spoken content together in one cohesive platform.

Why Phanatik

  • Built for digital publishers, podcast networks, and editorial teams
  • Multiple landing layouts for blog, podcast, and membership-driven sites
  • Paywalls and subscriber-only content for flexible monetization
  • Custom audio player and podcast episode layouts
  • Author profiles, team pages, and advertising support
  • Fast, client-side search powered by Fuse.js
  • SEO-ready with Astro SEO, RSS feeds, and Sitemap support
  • Clean project structure, style guide, and ongoing updates

Content-first architecture

Phanatik is built on Astro’s content collections, providing a clear, structured way to manage posts, podcasts, authors, and editorial data.
The setup is fast, predictable, and developer-friendly, ideal for performance-focused teams and long-term projects.

Phanatik is also available with Sanity CMS (Sanity Studio + monorepo) or EmDash CMS (built-in admin, Cloudflare deploy) for teams that need a visual editor without giving up Astro performance.

Modern color system

The theme uses OKLCH color tokens for its palette, ensuring consistent rendering, accessible contrast, and simple theme customization in Tailwind v4.
