If you haven't heard about Anchor by Spotify, let me give you a rundown.

Basically, it's the easiest way to make a podcast.

With everything you need all in one place, here's how it works.

Anchor lets you record and edit podcasts right from your phone or computer,

so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today.

Then you can distribute your podcasts to the most popular listening platforms,

including Spotify with a single tap.

Anchor is also the only place you can publish video podcasts to Spotify.

With Anchor, creators can earn money in a variety of ways, including ads and podcasts of subscriptions.

And best of all, Anchor is totally free.

Download the Anchor app or go to Anchor.fm to get started.
