If you’re a new podcaster, or are planning on starting one, you may be wondering what a 3rd party service is for?
These are services that can give you access to stats and features your podcast host does not. Or at a lower price than your host. They’re not necessary for most podcasters, but they can give you interesting data.
And if you are going to use one 3rd party service, you’re most likely going to have Podtrac recommended. It’s a great service, that’s why it’s the most used.

This free ranging interview with Spotify Executive Dawn Ostroff goes into many parts of their podcasting business, and their expectations for the future.
Expect to see more Spotify exclusive shows cut in 2023. So if you’re planning on starting your podcast and selling out to Spotify, that’s probably not going to work out. 😀
