There was a time when we all used Apple Podcasts (probably 2007ish) and one day they broke it. It stayed broken for days. Meanwhile I needed something to listen to podcasts, and someone suggested Overcast.fm and I never looked back. It did everything I wanted. Smart Playlists I can add a SHOW (not an episode)…
A great affordable software that makes it super easy to add ideas, and later drag them into episodes.

With podcasting getting hotter and hotter by the day, more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon. Yet many of them haven’t done their homework and are making the same mistakes. For example, in June of 2018, it came to the attention of podcasters that Castbox.fm had been hijacking their feed. This is where you…
