In this podcast episode, I compare and evaluate five popular podcasts hosting software based on criteria such as pricing, top features, top drawbacks, affiliate program, and video podcasting support.

While Spotify for podcasters may be convenient for hobbyists, it may not be the best option for those looking to outsource production or have an entirely ad-free listening experience.
