2019/11/24

Not sure whether to rate your podcast clean, explicit or no rating? Or whether you have to bother rating your podcast at all? The ratings in the back end of your podcast host were actually created for iTunes music, not podcasts so at the moment there aren’t any clear regulations around rating podcasts.

What is Anchor?

PodSchool ·

2018/11/19

Most podcast hosts are just that...podcast hosts. They’re a place to upload your MP3’s, look at your stats and fill in your show details but apart from that, there aren't many bells and whistles. Anchor is different because it’s designed to be a podcast host but also a place to edit and create your show. Inside Anchor, you can drag and drop audio elements directly into your episode and if you've never worked with audio before this can make piecing together an episode way less daunting. But is it

Should you tell people to 'subscribe' to your podcast?

PodSchool ·

2018/10/29

Getting more podcast listeners is important if you want your show to last but you also want those listeners to subscribe. This is because the more subscribers you have the more chance you've got of ranking in podcast charts. It also makes it much easier for people to listen because they'll get a new episode delivered straight to their podcast app. So how do you get more podcast listeners and in turn subscribers?

How to write great episode titles

PodSchool ·

2018/10/21

You should think about your podcast episode title like the headline of an article. It's the thing that makes people click, so you need to pack as much information as possible into a small number of words. But you also want to be truthful.

I know we're all told not to judge a book by its cover but the truth is, we do. When people find your show in their podcast directory it's often the combination of your podcast name and podcast logo that will entice them to give it a try.
