🎙️Podcast ToolsAbout Spotify for Podcasters
Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor) is completely free podcast hosting from the platform that has over 100 million podcast listeners. Upload episodes, get an RSS feed, and distribute to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other platforms at zero cost. The Q&A and poll features enable audience engagement. The monetization tools include Spotify Podcast Subscriptions and Spotify Audience Network ads. The analytics are basic but improving. The main concern: Spotify owns your distribution relationship and promotional visibility favors Spotify-exclusive content. Best for: beginners who want to start podcasting for free with access to Spotify's massive listener base.
