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

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

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.
