    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.

    Most organizations interested in a Social Selling/Employee Advocacy platform would do well to try out Sociabble. It can be customized and adapted to perfectly fit your organization's needs and will almost certainly provide ROI on user engagement and connection to the broader goals of the organization. The only reason I might not suggest Sociabble would be if you're looking for a quick, turnkey solution to Employee Advocacy for a smaller team. All of the customization and gamification options Sociabble offers might be underutilized by small teams and do require some level of setup/configuration.

    • Ideas to be recognized and providing feedback, people who are looking for.
    • Any leads to knowing by customer or team to be an update to the content writer with the contact detail access to reach for demonstrating the solutions shared.
    • A wall on Sociabble, who is looking for new technologies or solutions to generate the leads

    We've had a total of ~30 support tickets with Sociabble and am not proud to say that if we had done better research, probably 20 of them could have been solved with their useful help documentation/content. However, when we do run into an issue within the platform, their Support Team is always quick to assist and provide an acceptable solution.

    Podbean
    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.

    • The platform allows companies to deliver content to their employees that helps them grow and engage, which consequently leads to better delivery, making the company's service more efficient. Efficiency generates customer satisfaction.
    • Scheduling posts allows them to set aside just a few hours to schedule all the posts for the week or even the month, creating time to dedicate to other daily tasks.
    • I would also like to highlight the customer support we get from the Sociabble team, as it is very good and efficient.
