In this episode, we go back to basics and talk about hosting platforms. A hosting platform is where your podcast lives on the internet. It’s also how you link your podcast to the main podcast apps, like Apple, Spotify and Amazon Music.

Here are our 3 steps to getting started with hosting platforms:

1. Choose a hosting platform without overthinking, as they all perform a similar job - although some have additional features
2. Pay attention to the settings when setting up your podcast, including the episode description and category.
3. Connect your podcast to popular podcast apps and directories like Apple, Spotify and Amazon Music.
