A lot of the times online, I see the question as to whether you should use, or need, social media for your podcast - but that's the wrong question. Instead, there are two questions you should be asking.

One of the questions that appears online regularly is do you need to edit your podcast? Much of this comes from podcasters who just want to hit record and then publish right away.

While you can take this approach, there's a lot to be said on why you should edit, even it's it's just the bare minimum. Let's find out why.

• GarageBand
• Audacity
• Hindenburg Pro

It's one of the more popular questions when first getting started - should you use a free or paid podcast host? Both have their reasons, and it's not as simple as "well, free is free", as I share in this episode.

One of the more popular questions is do you need a website for your podcast? Sure, for many, listening on their favourite podcast app is their preferred method, but does that mean you don't need a podcast website? Let's dig in.

When you first start a podcast, it can be a bit daunting when it comes to getting your show in front of listeners.

• how do I get on Apple, Spotify, etc
• do I just use Apple and Spotify or should I use more
• do I need to do things myself

With regards the first part, your podcast host should take care of that for you, or offer you an easy option to distribute.

When it comes to how many apps you should be on, well, that's more down to you - but you should always be thinking of the listener first, as I explain in this episode.

In May 2020, Spotify shook the podcasting world when it announced it had signed the hugely popular YouTube show, The Joe Rogan Experience, to an exclusive deal on Spotify.

The deal meant Rogan’s show would only be available on Spotify, and his back catalogue of videos on YouTube would be removed.

It was part of a huge acquisition journey by Spotify, in their goal to be the number one audio-on-demand platform. But with news that several exclusive podcasts are leaving, and listener numbers down dramatically for some exclusive shows, is the sheen coming off the exclusive approach?
