Anchor is the main publishing platform for Spotify these days (it’s also free), but it still just gives a simple RSS feed from what I can tell and they automatically publish on a bunch of different platforms, and any others can just plug in the RSS feed they have in settings.

I’ve actually switched *back* to Anchor recently just because I had been paying so much for Megaphone and it has so few “extra features” (that I barely even use anyway) that I couldn’t possibly justify $200 a month for it.

There are a bunch of middling services that charge reasonable prices and have decent features, Buzzsprout, Libsyn, Podbean, Captivate, Transistor.fm, Blubrry, etc.

I’ve tinkered with all of these but I suggest you look through at what each offer because depending on how much you publish and how many downloads you expect, different services will give you better prices and features. A reason I didn’t go with a number of those listed is because they either 1) limit how much you can upload per month, then charge a lot more — I do a BUNCH of shows in a month — or 2) They charge per download, where the low cost options only give you a few thousand or maybe a few 10s of thousands in downloads, then they start charging heavy prices for more bandwidth.

Because of that, I still just ended up back at anchor, but depending on where you are in it, some of those others might be really useful.
