Thom and Kane answer one of the first questions they are asked when someone starts podcasting; where and how do I host my podcast?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of the biggest benefits of podcasting as a medium is that you have a central place, your hosting site, where all the podcasting platforms then pull from.
• There are no algorithms in the way or reach restrictions, you have a relationship with your hosting platform and everything gets pushed out to the individual ‘players’.
• There are a lot of good options now for hosting your podcast, how you pick one will depend on the type of podcast you are creating, the level of control and features you want and what you are willing to pay.
• All platforms have their own ad marketplace which will be bespoke to them, it’s worth considering this before choosing one.
• Be wary of free services, this means you are the product. It means you will probably have very limited features and also ads added to your show without any control.

BEST MOMENTS

“It’s important that people understand and appreciate what makes podcasting different in how its distribution works”

“Think about the amount of data you are going to use…some podcast hosts charge you on the amount of data you use”

“If it’s free, it means you’re the product”
