This is a common question in podcasting and my recommendations are usually the same when I get these questions in my inbox, so I wanted to share my response here. If you’re a new podcaster looking to get started, be sure to save this link and share it with your cohosts.
Confused about how an RSS feed works? Wondering why you need a hosting company for your podcast? Confused about submitting to Apple Podcasts?

Anchor has been rising slowly to become a contending player in the podcast space. There's no denying it. Many well-known personalities are now using it to easily create their podcasts.
