Free podcast hosting sounds like a no-win situation to pass up, but it might actually be costing you more than you think. In this episode, Ashley breaks down exactly why she pays for podcast hosting with RSS.com, what features you're leaving on the table with a free plan, and how she's saving over $20/month by consolidating tools she was already paying for separately.

You'll hear why AI transcripts are non-negotiable for SEO and accessibility, how the Podvis integration helped one of her clients explode their listener numbers without ever stepping in front of a camera, and why the PAID programmatic ad program lets you start earning money with as few as ten downloads. Ashley also shares why she upgraded to the Podcast Networks plan, what that means for her upcoming podcast lineup, and why she tried eleven other hosting platforms before landing on RSS.com as her permanent home.
