Why is sharing a podcast harder than sharing any other content? ThePodcastHost Weekly Digest


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? Can you send me it, please?" What's your next step? One of the biggest strengths of podcasting is the seven billion places pods are consumed. 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. Get the scoop in our guide on How to Link to & Share a Podcast. And, as always, you'll find more aromatic and fresh content cooling on the metaphorical window ledge below. Enjoy!
