The way Todd and Mike handle their shows. Never build your business on rented land Get your own domain Host a ​​WordPress website that you control 100%  Generate your RSS feed from a domain you own With WordPress and PowerPress,  YOUR domain is the origination point, not a syndication point. (Rather than your host’s domain.) Choose where you want to syndicate your show and submit it to those places  Being everywhere only requires an RSS feed (in most cases). Listeners will pick the best way for them to listen. Don’t try to force them to one place or another.  Don’t care where they listen as long as they do! You do what you are good at (content) and use technology that is safe from being taken down. (PowerPress, WordPress, DNS, Podcast Index and more)  The Blubrry team is here to help you along the way, but in the end, it's all yours. If Blubrry goes away (highly unlikely, but still) PowerPress is designed to work with or without us.  Once it’s all set up, it couldn’t be easier.  Create a show file Create a blog post on your site Upload the media Publish the post Rinse and repeat And most importantly, don't get bogged down by the minutiae!
