Podcast branding can be an important part of marketing your podcast, as well as helping to highlight the unique qualities of your podcast; but what exactly is branding? Today we discuss what podcast branding is, and how it’s not just the obvious such as your artwork and promo material.
This episode we’re also pleased to debut a brand new segment: The Better Podcasting Hobby Podcaster Profile. In our debut episode we highlight Anthony Sytko from Capes on the Couch podcast.
In this week’s Better Podcasting Download, we have a triple round up of follow-ups (read as: corrections) from our recent episodes.
Finally, in this week’s Better Podback we have a listener who is seeking to move on from their Mixcast software and replace it with something else.
