![]() This is the email address Apple uses to contact you if they want to feature you, or if there is an issue with your feed. It’s been 24 hours and I feel it’s safe to say that I’m not going to get that email. I tested mine and sent an email thinking they may forward any email coming to the anchor.fm account to my email listed in my Anchor account. The email in your feed is some randomly generated anchor.fm email. They Block Your Access To Your Email The email listed in your feed for iTunes Owner is not the email in your anchor account. Anchor has control of your show under their Apple ID, and some sort of ID for Stitcher.Īs someone completely new to podcasting doesn’t know what they don’t know, one might feel that they are preying on the uninformed.

The average life span of a free media host is 45 months. ![]() Why give the platform the money when you can leave and take your audience with you? Why this doesn’t work is if someone actually grows a show to where they can have their own sponsor they leave the free platform. The business plan is that they will pay for the bandwidth by selling advertisements against your content. When Anchor.fm came on the scene I rolled my eyes, as I have seen this before.įree Doesn’t Work I can think of six companies that offered free media hosting. **(By Dave Jackson) **The problem with being in podcasting since 2005 is you see a few not-so-good things.
