If you've ever wanted to make a podcast, Spotify has a platform that simplifies the whole process

from distribution to monetization, all in one place for free.

With Spotify for podcasters, you can actually record and edit episodes right from a phone or computer if you want to,

or you can use your own microphones and editing software, then upload the episodes.

Either way, you can then distribute your show to Spotify and all the other major podcast apps.

Spotify will also now let you release episodes on video.

The latest monetization features include running ads on your show,

releasing subscriber-only content, and accepting direct donations from listeners.

These tools are all available totally free, no cost to you.

As someone who's been in the podcast game a few years now, I can tell you it's hard to beat free hosting,

so give it a try by downloading the Spotify for podcasters app or visit www.spodify.com

slash podcasters to get started today.

Maybe that's where they got their name.

We're the cure for this garbage.

It's the cure for Depeche mode.
