There are many different podcast hosting platforms and it can be difficult to decide which one to go with…

Some companies have been around a long time and new ones are popping up all the time.

The good news is whether you're looking to start a podcast, save money, or move to a better hosting platform – we have you covered!

If you're looking to start a podcast, you’ll need to sign up with a podcast hosting company to store your .mp3’s and create your podcast feed. Just like when you start a website or blog you need a web host, when you start a podcast you need a media host.

Or if you’re looking for a better place to host your podcast, the best podcast hosting sites make it super simple to migrate into their system…

There are a number of different services that will let you record remote conversations.

Skype is a popular way to conduct online interviews and there are several ways to record Skype calls.

The issue with Skype is that sound quality is poor, even if all parties have great internet connections.

The good news is that there are excellent alternatives to Skype that let you record remote podcast interviews.

These also work well if your co-host is in another location and you can't physically record in the same space.

One of the main benefits of most of these services is that they record the audio locally for each person. That means that even if there are issues with your internet connection during the call, the audio quality stays high.
