What hosting to choose for podcasts, who knows?

Question

Podcasts

In general, I wanted to post a podcast on iTunes for myself, like talking about the lives of various interesting people and so on, if there are those who are somehow connected with podcasting, I will be very happy to help!

Answer 1

PodsterFM
SoundCloud is good, but they have restrictions on free accounts there.
YouTube is also an option, but IMHO it will be difficult to recruit people there.

Answer 2

I definitely wouldn’t recommend SoundCloud, it’s not adapted for podcasts at all, it doesn’t know how to work with categories normally, it takes into account statistics very poorly, or rather it can overestimate (here in the article on VC it’s sorted out) real listening up to two times, plus it will be paid in total .
What is required from hosting?
Adequate price / free
Statistics
Uptime and reliability
Advanced features
A lot of people use Anchor, it's free and simple, but if you start a podcast there, then listening will not be fully calculated correctly, plus it does not determine up to 50% of traffic as a source.
There are English-language simplecast, libsyn, but they are paid.
From domestic there is a new mave, by an amazing coincidence, of which I am a co-founder :) This is a free and unlimited Russian-language platform for podcasters and advertisers.
Pros:
1. Podcast statistics according to IAB requirements
2. Advanced podcast analytics
3. Monitoring of Apple charts immediately in the system
4. Podcast micro-site
5. Import of analytics from Anchor when transferring
a podcast the podcast could earn on its past episodes
