What they are

Buzzsprout

Buzzsprout hosts podcast audio files and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and a dozen other directories from a single dashboard. It's used by solo podcasters and small teams who want reliable hosting without managing RSS feeds manually. The free plan stores only 90 days of episodes, which pushes serious creators toward a paid tier quickly. At $15 per month the entry paid plan covers most hobbyist needs.

StreamYard

StreamYard is a browser-based studio for live streaming and recording to platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitch simultaneously. Creators, marketers, and podcast hosts use it to bring on remote guests, display branded overlays, and go live without installing software. The free tier watermarks your stream, and the paid plans unlock multi-destination streaming and higher video quality.
