In this episode I talk about choosing a podcast host. A podcast host is where you upload your podcast audio or video file for distribution to all the podcast players. It acts as a hub for all the podcast players to access your show and is distributed through an RSS feed. When starting your podcast, you should out a trailer with podcast artwork so everything is in place when you launch. He also recommends picking one podcast host and not worrying too much as most will provide the same basic functions. Different hosts may have different features like a functional podcast website, web players, and the ability to host multiple shows.

Podcasting is easier than ever with a wide range of hosting services available. It is easy to switch hosts if you don't like the one you initially chose, and the process won't take more than a couple of hours. The best way to get started is to choose your host early and get your trailer out as soon as possible to ensure you're fully distributed to all podcast players.
