If you’re looking for a podcast host – heads-up! Just want to warn anyone against using Spreaker. They will bill you a renewal without warning for a year in advance and then flat out will not refund the pre-payment, even if you have moved your podcast a year ago! Highly unfair to charge for services that are not rendered, and to treat customers so badly. Warning – stay away from Spreaker! Libsyn is MUCH better!!

In reply to Alex Bender. I've done something similar to get the shows I was managing onto Spreaker. As a business, sometimes you have to ride the waves of opportunity that are presented and do what's best for your business. The podcasting business is no different. And let's face it, we're in a really new business still trying to find its legs.

So I started my podcast a few months back & went with Anchor – and actually the main reason wasn’t because it was free, it was because it was bought by Spotify, my thinking was Spotify being the music giant of the internet is like Google buying YouTube. Most people around the planet are fine with having their vids on youtube.
Do you think that was a mistake or a naive thought, or does my thinking have some merit?

Thanks , nearly two years later, still relevant and useful. Of course some plans and features have changed as they should, but for the beginner (as well as experienced) podcaster, this is a good starter guide to “Where do I host?” – Amar, gaatha story

Matthew, I’m starting a podcast show, hosting at podomatic. Everything is ready there, hosting the audio files, creating the feed and promoting (it is already on on spotify…). However I made a blog with wordpress, and installed powerpress plug in to publish the podcast posts. However it looks that powerpress do the same things as podomatic, except file hosting, so now I have 2 feeds… How to deal in cases like that, keep the feed and episodes being created on prodomatic, and use powerpress just to allow publish the posts in the wordpress? (in this case, I have to set up everything on power press but not promote?). Could you give an idea? Thanks!

Just been trying to get Buzzsprout to host my podcast…. their website is very user friendly, but I couldn’t get the WordPress plugin to work (not updated for last 3 major WordPress updates). The last WordPress support request was over a year ago, with similar issues.

Started off with Anchor, to make sure podcasting was something I was going to enjoy and stick with. So Anchor’s free platform made sense. Once I was invested in wanting to do podcasting “properly”, switched to Simplecast, and haven’t looked back, especially with their recent 2.0 update.
