#PODUCER SOUNDCLOUS FREE#
So in this grey area, the near-universal ambivalence comes because the free tier is really good for a lot of people, and when combined with the social features and dedicated, cross-platform app, make SoundCloud really appealing for many people. Without one or both of these paid features, at some point, your feed is going to go off the rails. I make a lot of silly, careless mistakes (like maybe uploading the wrong show’s media file to the primary RSS feed. I have a hectic schedule like you folks do which makes scheduling podcast releases the most important feature I can have. As a podcaster myself, these two features are invaluable.
#PODUCER SOUNDCLOUS UPGRADE#
The biggest reason to upgrade to either Pro or Pro Unlimited is for two features: replace tracks and scheduled releases. However, if you are intending to do more than record a few short shows a month, you will need to upgrade. And the embeds are what you’ve probably seen on every SC player ever. 3 hours of podcasting a month is perfectly adequate for weekly shows that run 30-45 minutes each.

SoundCloud Basic (the free tier) is great for new podcasters who don’t know if they can stick with it. But it works well for a certain demographic of hobbyist podcasters. Why’s that? Well, because the free version is severely limited. I am personally ambivalent about it, and so is the rest of the internet. That’s why I put it here in this grey area. I’ve used both sides of the platform, personally. I will use this as a transition between the pros and cons because where this one falls will depend on who you ask. Cool, right? Kind of Pro, Kind of Con It’s Free It’s easy for people to find you and interact with you on SC because they use the service like a search engine. It lets listeners connect directly with you, socially and passively. Unlike other podcast hosts, SoundCloud doesn’t rely on simple RSS to disseminate your podcast (though it does that, too, so you can be listed everywhere).

(Which solves the Android podcast app problem that plagues so many ‘casters.)
#PODUCER SOUNDCLOUS DOWNLOAD#
With SoundCloud, if you publish on their platform, your listeners can download your episodes through the official SoundCloud app. Overcast, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, and others all have different UIs, which can obfuscate leaving reviews, among other things. While there are free options out there that work well, they all behave differently for different people. And Android doesn’t even have a standard podcast player. Features many listeners want aren’t included across the board, even in the default, industry-standard Podcasts app that Apple includes in iOS. Dedicated Appsĭespite podcasts having been around for a good long time (the term podcast was coined in 2004 by Ben Hammersley of The Guardian), finding a good app for listening to your subscriptions is still kind of a pain. If your podcast is centered around a community more than an idea, and you get lots of interaction, SoundCloud might be a great place for you to look. When it comes to music and podcasts both, people love to share what they love.

In the same way that people interact with pics and videos on Instagram, that’s how you interact with tracks, albums, and users on SoundCloud.

Probably the biggest positive in SoundCloud’s favor is that it isn’t just a streaming audio platform. Pros for SoundCloud It’s a Social Platform We want you to be able to make the most informed decision you can, so let’s go ahead and dig into SoundCloud. But, like everything else, you have pros and cons to the service. They do host media, both on free and paid plans, and they have a pretty nifty player and subscription model. Technically, though, SoundCloud isn’t a podcast host like Libsyn or Blubrry, but rather a streaming audio platform. SoundCloud comes up when people talk about podcast hosting.
