Hullo there! On the latest episode of Podcraft (recorded on no fewer than eight different recording platforms, incidentally!), we ran through 16 common podcasting myths. One of those was around podcast sponsorship, and how it's in no way the only or "best" way to monetise a show. But that doesn't mean we'd discourage anyone from finding or running a sponsor. In our guide to podcast sponsorship, we get into why it might be a good fit for your show, and how much you could potentially earn. Speaking of which, you can now apply to be sponsored by Alitu or The Podcast Host and earn $25 per 400 downloads!

This suggests that there might not be any one "right" way to open a podcast episode, but there are definitely some good practices. We get into them on the latest episode of the Podcraft podcast. And, as ever, there's more fresh new content down...
Hullo there! Whilst it's brilliant that you can podcast with people on the other side of the world and sound like you're in the same room together, you really can't beat in-person recording. Getting together with a guest or co-host makes having a great, natural conversation so much easier. You're not at the mercy of internet connections, and those awkward pauses and messy crosstalk moments are minimised, too. Plus, you're fully in control of "the gear". Portable recording setups are no new...
