Protect Your Podcast: Never Say, I Didn't Know What I Didn't Know

I was speaking at the National Religious Broadcasters in Nashville Tennessee and kept hearing a few phrases that make me worried. Phrases like, “I had some friend, or some temp, or some web guy, or even a professional service” set up my podcast. Then in talking with them, I learned that (in many cases) everyone is setup wrong. We’ve all been in a situation where we don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t know what should be important. Today, in episode 819, I’m going to tell you.

Things You Need to Know

Apple, Google, and Spotify have additional stats. If you let someone setup your show "for you" you lose access to those stats.
When someone orders your media hosting "For you" THEY OWN YOUR SHOW.
Media hosts (eventually ) delete your files if you cancel your account.
Make sure you have a copy of your media files.
You should own your show and then add your editors to YOUR account.
The bottom line is you don’t want anyone between you and your podcast and you and your audience.
