Should You Use Anchor for Your Podcast?

We’ve talked about the Rodecaster Pro quite a bit. But what happens after you’ve gotten your podcast recorded? How do you share it with the world? You can always distribute it manually, but I’ve found that to be a pretty big hassle (and by hassle I mean total nightmare). Anchor is a free, easy to use platform that has worked great for me for the past few years.

November 2020 Update: I've moved my podcast to Buzzsprout after Spotify (Anchor's parent company) seems to want to dominate the podcasting space– a space that has always been independent and open for all. Anchor is still a wonderful tool and works very well, but my own personal philosophies around podcasting don't align with those of Spotify.
