Anchor's Podcast Platform

Anchor has been able to assist me with getting my message out and being able to build a relationship with each fan, host and also other professionals in this industry.

PROS

As a beginner in the podcast industry, I was able to learn a lot of different production techniques and developed my audio and podcast skills so that I was able to sound much more professional as each episode continued.

CONS

The software does not necessarily get your information verified on Pandora, iHeartRadio and Amazon podcasting.

Reason for choosing Anchor

Anchor was a simple solution and I didn't have to pay some kind of subscription to distribute my content or to monetize it.

A Anchor that doesn't Hit its Mark

PROS

It can be easily used to host and edit your own podcast or others. The ability to edit the podcasts and the audio through the app is something different from what other apps do.

CONS

There should be a ability to not just edit audio and video of things and podcast and have to pay so much for it. If its by spot ivy their should be integration with it and have music and other systems with it

Simple but very functional for podcasting

A great way to manage professional podcasts

PROS

Clipping segments together, adding background music, publishing to multiple platforms

CONS

Only one podcast supported per account... so I simply have multiple accounts

An audio lifesaver

Excellent, I've been using Anchor since a University project more than 8 years ago and I'd highly recommend it to anyone creating podcast content.

PROS

How easy it is to use, how quickly it distributes to the main apps and the low cost (we mainly use free but have dabbled with paid for features!)

CONS

Getting distributed in one of our podcasts took longer on some channels than it should but support investigated and found an error in the code that they quickly resolved.
