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.
Zoom
Zoom is a video conferencing platform used for meetings, webinars, live Q&As, and online coaching sessions. Content creators, course instructors, and community builders rely on it to host live interactions with audiences of any size. The free tier caps group calls at 40 minutes, which is a genuine constraint for longer sessions. Paid plans start around $14.16 per month when billed annually and lift that limit while adding recording and webinar features.
