Anchor App Review :Podcast App to change Podcasting in India

I started podcasting for a simple reason. It’s fun and was the main reason I started blogging.I am a fan of the SPI podcast for ages. Pat Flynn and his Podcasts are legendary.

I enjoyed listening to and downloading the transcripts. I  enjoy how easy content consumption is on smart passive income. The result is I  spend hours on SPI. I researched podcasting way back in 2014. It looked like a lot of work. WordPress and Hostgator made my Blogging journey so much less stressful. Also, recording software and hardware are expensive. I read everything I could lay my hands on, writing on my blog looked easier to start.M y Podcast was to be delayed by two and a half years when the Universe intervened.

A little backstory:

I always loved Radiomirchi and used to listen to it a lot. Then life got busy and with so many things clamoring for attention  I lost touch. With podcast entering my life I found the missing element on my online journey.I love reading and read print books and ebooks, blogs constantly. But sometimes while doing housework when I  can’t read, I catch up on my favorite podcasts.

But guess what Anchor is your answer. You can start podcasting now with this cool app.
