Here at Toasty Creations we’ve gone through several hosts and the one we’re stuck on is Castos. Castos doesn’t have an upload limit and gives us all the tools every other platform has and then some. There’s even a plugin for wordpress websites (just like this one) that let’s you make a blog post and attach your latest podcast episode which automatically makes the shownotes out of the blog post! How cool is that?! Go check em out – and I’m not even affiliated with them. That’s how much I like their product. S T A Y T O A S T Y
