Chose Podbean
Podbean is a different software model to this software and I believe it runs better. iTunes is a tough competitor however, PodBean has the advantage as it is not strictly for IOS and has a desktop version that is more seamless. I believe this makes it better software for …
Chose Podbean
We looked at hosting it entirely ourselves on our website, but the hosting space adds up and Podbean is purpose-built for this purpose. It's reliable and fits our needs much better than hosting via our website. Podbean also fits better into our workflow, since the website …

For a personal podcast, I host on WordPress with a plugin called Seriously Simple Podcasting. This solution is a bare bones solution, good if you know how to manage a WordPress website and are able to submit your podcasts manually to different apps and services. If you can …

Podbean
Podbean is the best podcast hosting service I have seen so far outside of hosting your own podcast server. It has many tools built in that make hosting and sharing your podcast simple. If you are technically minded, there is good software based on WordPress to create a cheap solution for hosting multiple podcasts, but you don't get as many features and you have to do all the work yourself. If you want a solution to quickly and easily get a podcast off the ground and out into the world without having to worry about lots of technical issues, then Podbean is a good way to go.

For a personal podcast, I host on WordPress with a plugin called Seriously Simple Podcasting. This solution is a bare bones solution, good if you know how to manage a WordPress website and are able to submit your podcasts manually to different apps and services. If you can afford Podbean I would suggest using it because the WordPress route takes a lot more time and technical knowledge. Podbean takes so much of the hassle and work away from the process.
