Podcast Hosting Compared: Buzzsprout vs Captivate vs Transistor

from The Pod Stack Hosted by Jesse of The Pod Stack

Hosting is boring. Hosting is also the one tool you can't skip. You can record on your phone. You can edit in a free app. You can design cover art in a browser tab. But without a host, your episode is a file on a hard drive — not a show people can find on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. This is The Pod Stack. I'm Jesse of The Pod Stack. Today we're comparing three hosts.
