Pros / Cons
  • Easy to use and free program for hosting. If we grow our podcast to the point where we can pay a monthly subscription I'll be checking back in on them
  • Support can take a while and some of the features are crippled in the lower cost packages to incentivize you needing to pay more to fix the problem.

  • There needs to be more useful tools for magic clips. When I post on my reels, YT shorts and TikTok, I’d feel different creative formats like a cinematic look or inputting a different style to switch an image in & out or slides could enhance magic clips better.
  • The only item that I've had a little issue with is that, when AI is used to fix some recordings, it can jack with a word here or there.
