Anchor vs Buzzsprout | The Best Podcast Host |

I had bad experience with anchor v bad

I am new to podcasting and just heard of Anchor. I am going to launch in September 2023. It is so overwhelming and your tips make me more relaxed.

I'm going with Buzzsprout

Thanks Mark! I think this help me make the decision to go over the buzzsprout

Can you start your podcast on Anchor and then move it to buzzsprout? Are the saved files transferable? I remember back in the day you didnt need all of these fance apps to record audio it was as simple as hitting record then upload. Today it seems that that option isnt even available without a middle man monitoring you.

Great feedback. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for this

THANK YOU

GO TEAM BUZZSPROUT!!!😆

Thank you brother I was debating buzzsprout and anchor I see think media use buzzsprout then I see Gary v use anchor . I'm new to podcast. I think I'm going to go with buzzsprout now I appreciate you

Thanks for the info. Glad I started off on Buzzsprout!

Thank you for sharing! We have been trying to decide which platform to use to get our podcast out there and this was very helpful.

Thank you very much

Great commentary

Great Video. I agree with your assessment on the superiority of buzzprout. I hope your podcast is going well.

I agree customer service is EXCELLENT

Awesome content! A year later still Buzzsprout? I'm just now on the fence!

Fact check...
"M4A (MPEG-4 Part 14) files were Apple's response to MP3s. ... M4A files are encoded with the lossy Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) codec, which is able to provide the same bitrates as MP3s, yet achieve tighter compression. This results in smaller file sizes, all while delivering higher audio quality."

Great video - I’ve been looking into podcasting and Anchor seemed too good to be true. Thanks for avoiding me find out the hard way !

Thanks for the video between Buzzsprout and Anchor. I own a travel agency and want to do podcasts on travel experiences, etc. Can I use my business name for my podcast and if so (or not), how do I protect the name of my podcast? What are the steps to take to ensure I protect my podcast from being stolen?

Hey buddy, thanks for the video. Very useful. What do you mean that I won't be able to get stats from the Apple podcasts? I already have an Apple Podcasts Connect account so I guess when I setup a redirect from my current host to Anchor, Apple will pick up the new rss and I should be able to see the analytics the same way as I can right now. Please let me know if I'm missing something or misunderstood you. Cheers and all the best!

Why do you have a pop-screen on a microphone you’re not even facing? LOL just busting your chops man thanks for a great video this was so helpful

Can I link my anchor with buzzsprout

This is super helpful. Thank you. I was on the fence on going over to Anchor, but this convinced me to pay for Buzzsprout. Some things are worth paying for.

Just subscribed. Thank you for this information. It helped a lot.

Was hoping for an honest review. Clearly not

I don't really trust you. As you are affiliated with buzzsprout. That means you get paid for saying this. I would rather listen to someone who is not affiliated with anyone. Don't take this other way. I respect you as you are doing the job

Great info Mark. I wonder what your thoughts are on Podbean. Just fyi, you have a spelling error in your channel art, EPISODES is spelled incorrectly.

Great video! Thank you, I started with Buzzsprout right out of the gate and could not be happier. They have just added a Magic Mastering option, for an additional monthly fee, for those who are not very good at getting the podcast to sound just right, especially when you have a co host 1100 miles away and have several guests pop in remotely as well, like I do. Definitely worth every penny to me!

Hey, what would you suggest if someones got two podcasts though? Im really not sure I can afford to have two Buzzsprout paid plans especially with the one of the podcasts having more or less daily content so id have to go for the max monthly plan on that one.

Bro! Killing it with the SEO! Second time this week one of your videos show up in my search results!

Where do you record your podcasts then? Seems that Buzzsprout is only for hosting, whereas Anchor you can record, edit, etc.

Is there any threat of losing my shows when leaving anchor?

So what you should have said was this was a video to say why you do not like Anchor. Being honest up front would have been nice.

It seems like a biased review.
Don't get me wrong, the video is expertly made but it just reads as Anchor is shit Buzzsprout is better.
I use Anchor and I'm not biased to them. I see the downside of the app but for me, the good outweighs it by far.
While admittedly Buzzsprout is more advanced, Anchor is fine with it's basics they give you.
If anything, I'd suggest start with Anchor to see if podcasting is what you want to do then if you want to be more serious, go over to Buzzsprout.
But to anyone reading this, don't do it because someone is pushing it. Look into both platforms and any other platforms, research thoroughly and decide what's best for you.

Why not position that mic in China ?

I've been on Podbean for six years and never made a penny off my podcast and spent close to a grand hosting with them, looking at Buzzsprout and anchor jst to get a chance at getting some income coming back in.

Is Anchor a good podcast host for just uploading and distributing your podcast, if it is already pre recorded and edited in a different software?

good news maybe I might restart my podcast with a new platform. who knows it might be Buzzsprout. I can't give up just yet.

All social media are shutting down all content that is not liberal, they are stealing people's free rights someone needs to hold them accountable. I don't know if my podcast will be on Google much longer so check out all episodes before it's to late.

I wrote on my facebook page about what anchor and spotify did to me, please read it. Andrea Fitzgerald Petaluma facebook. My podcast is only now on Google podcasts. welcome to Andrea Fitzgerald where amazing things happen Can you help me get my free speech rights back?

Thank you, brother. Love from India
