Anchor Away - YaY or NaY?

I have a question...or two...that I'm hoping one or more of you will be able to offer advice on!

I recently came across a podcast platform called Anchor FM and I am interested to learn if anyone here in the community has any experience of using this platform to record podcasts?

AnchorFM boasts that it is the only app that lets you record high-quality podcast and distribute it everywhere – all in one place. There is no prior podcasting experience necessary and no expensive equipment required.

It is 100% free hosting and distribution, with no storage limits.


I believe a lot of people listen to podcasts especially while they commute - it is certainly evident on local transport that my husband takes every day, and he is himself always listening to a sport podcast of some description or another. So it's not just the younger population who opt for this type of social medium ;-)

I like to use soundcloud when I am in the car alone, it allows me to catch up on topics of interest, I am also a huge fan of Amazon's Audible for books of learning nature, it's easy listening in rush hour traffic.

I have downloaded the app on my mobile and it all appears very user-friendly. Having briefly explored the app I particularly like the idea of creating and distributing from the comfort of my phone.

Once published I can also share my podcasts on my social media accounts. As far as I can see the app also provides other tools such as a library of background music that you can use.

You can track your growth with straightforward analytic and get to know your audience and their preferences with cross-platform insights.

My 2nd question relates to using podcasts on our websites, I am interested to know if anyone in the community records podcasts, and if so do they solely use them on the audio platforms like iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or TuneIn Radio or do they also embed them on their websites?

So what is your take on the blogsphere - any comment, guidance or advice would be gratefully received and TIA ~ Jules

Hey Jules, sorry I can’t help but I’m interested in hearing the replies

Thanks Alexandra ;-)

Jules, by all means insert a podcast section in your blog. Make and release podcasts simultaneously in multiple places that people go to listen to them.

Announce ahead of time you're going to publish and follow up after.

I wish you much success in podcasting.

Edwin

Thanks for the tips Edwin appreciate that, Jules

I've not heard of Anchor FM but you are wise to reach out receive as much feedback as possible.

I almost sounds too good to be true but then so does WA!

I use Pandora for all my music and podcasts and only for listening. Until now the idea of recording a podcast has never entered my mind!

Keep up posted on what you learn and if I come across anything of value I will certainly pass it along!

Thanks Susan I might just check out Pandora and see how it differs to AnchorFM. I will keep you updated when I have more information to share. Jules

I know that there are others who use podcasts, here is training I found on creating them, maybe it will help you. Here is ClaudiaHB's recent post on her new podcast-- Blessings
