Podcasting is such a great way to communicate with the world what you want to say. Whether its value adding into your content, updating your follower and friends, pushing your brand, or giving vital information to your audiences.
Earlier Podcasting was tough. You'd have to pay and sign up with websites and things would be very technical plus you would have to go through agents to get your podcast on iTunes and Spotify. (Being in India we don't have too much access to getting out content out there).
Last year I discovered a friend's podcast. I really wanted to on iTunes and Spotify and I was super impressed that there was a way to do that without spending too much.
Anchor.fm is the platform which allows you to create a podcast for free. You do have a waiting period before you get featured on itunes and spotify and other mainstream podcasting sites, but 51 podcasts later, I have to say its been amazing.
Now there are ways Non Indian's can incorporate sponsors on Anchor.fm but in India those facilities are not available. But the site is easy and give you the option of recoding.
