Anchor FM is now Spotify for podcasters. If you've ever thought about starting your own podcast,

then check out Spotify for podcasters or S4P for short. S4P is a free podcast platform that allows

you to create an edit podcast right from your phone or computer. I really can't recommend them

enough. This is the podcast platform that I personally use. Once you set up your podcast,

S4P will automatically distribute it to all other platforms like Spotify, Apple podcasts,

and others. It's super easy, super streamlined, and you can start making money immediately.

Download the free S4P app or go to podcasters.spotify.com to get started.
