What if world is supported by our sponsors and by listeners like you on Patreon?

Grown-ups, I've asked the Lerninator to come help us. Tell you about anchor, the easiest way to make a podcast.

You can download it straight to your server group cortex for free or your phone or computer.

You can record and edit your own podcasts from writing the app and then post it to cyberspace

where I could listen to it in the future. Yeah, because anchor distributes your podcast for you.

Across Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all the major platforms.

You can make money from your podcast with no minimum listenership and put it in a savings account

for me so I'll be rich in a thousand years. It's everything you need to make a podcast that'll

stand the test of time. Download the free anchor app or go to anchor.fm to get started.

The future of podcasting is now on anchor.
