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.

    Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for this video. I have been uploading some audio podcasts on Indian Classical Music on my YT channel for a year now, and someone recently suggested me to using Anchor to so that I upload on Spotify. It was difficult/overwhelming to browse through blogs to understand about it. Your video simplified the whole process from uploading podcast to distributing the podcasts. Reasons I liked your video : 1. Its precise and covers all the necessary aspects (even the terms and conditions, whether its paid or free) 2. And for someone starting out, you also covered, how can one upload the videos 3. And most importantly, you have used it for around 2+ years - that made your video very organic and authentic. Thanks again!

    I wasn't aware of anchor! Thanks a lot for bringing it to my attention! I had the idea of making a podcast in the back of my head, but I wasn't actively planning on it. Now I can't wait to start, thanks to you! One thing that although I can find in other videos but I would also love to hear your perspective as well, is how you structure you podcasts. I see that using seasons is a thing, but I don't really get how many episodes a season should have, should the number of episodes be consistent? How often the episodes should be posted, what is the sweet spot of each episode length, and other questions as well. It would be great if you made a video discussing those things :)

  • @tombuck

    @tombuck

    2 жыл бұрын

    That's a great question and definitely a good idea for a video topic! A lot of it comes down to personal preference along with what your show is about/how often you post. I have 4 podcasts and only one of them is divided by seasons, and that's my personal one (The Enthusiasm Project). I'm not sure why I chose this number, but I do 21 episode runs and then take a break before jumping in to a new season. While the whole series is pretty cohesive, the different seasons each focus a little more specifically on certain themes or topics and it seems like 21 episodes is more than enough to explore things thoroughly before moving on.

    It's totally worth it! And when you're just starting out there likely won't be a ton of people listening, which is actually a good thing since it means you don't have to feel like you're in the spotlight right from the start.

    I enjoyed this breakdown of anchor, I been podcasting for 7 years. For free uploading to SoundCloud & it distributes everywhere. It is a pretty big podcast called Church For The Wild, but we play music in between our episodes so we can’t monetize off of it. So as I’m starting over i’m definitely leading towards anchor.

    The only real downside in my opinion is Anchor's connection to Spotify, but that's hugely subjective and I only feel that way because I don't personally like Spotify's approach to podcasting. But Anchor as a service is great.

    This was such a great and informative review and description on the platform. I've listened to a couple podcasts that use Anchor and have heard them plug in an ad on Anchor before. Is that mandatory or is that only if you want to monetize your content?

    Anchor's monetization is entirely up to you. I never used it, but it seems to work very similarly to how you can put ads on KZread Videos.
