Distribution
Once your podcast is hosted, you can post it to many different platforms for people to listen.
Spotify is a great option and was widely used in this project. With an RSS feed from your provider, you can post widely including your own website.
Soundcloud is another great platform to post to. It has a large online community and will host your content for you. You can also find great support here.
