|
Hullo there! Unless you're an eccentric millionaire who employs a team of professional podcast sharers, you've probably been struck by indecision when linking to your show in the past. After all, sharing a blog, website, or YouTube channel is pretty straightforward—there really is only one link and one destination. But if someone says to you, "Oh, you do a podcast, don't you?

But that's seven billion potential links to weigh up when you want to point someone towards it. Fortunately, there are simple solutions to this, along with a few very handy tools.
