Super efficient way to host my podcast... Rocky Flintstone Unleashed 99% of stuff is automated so no hassle!

It is very easy to use, which for an unpractical person like me is very important.

If you plan to monetize, RUN. Initially this was great -- easy set up, etc. etc. But I ran into an issue that delayed me getting my episodes up back about three months ago. Because of that, they deleted my Stripe connection (connection to my bank account for monetization). No worries. I get it. They gotta make sure there's a product to justify the purchase button. When I was able to return to uploading and get things launched, I contacted them -- just like the error message on their website instructed. It's not their fault and I was all kinds of nice about it. No reason not to be. The help desk came back with reassurances and niceties that they'd get right on that and reset things. And then went radio silent. I contacted them again. Understanding and patient. Rinse, repeat. And again. Understanding and patient. Rinse repeat. I then tried their chat feature -- hot tip: it's the same people who will ignore you later in email, and they get back to you in chat "Within 24 hours." *Shockingly* I did not hear back until the wee hours of the morning, which is the only time my assigned contact seemed to be on the clock. It has been a MONTH of this. A. MONTH. I'm lucky that this happened before I made my episodes live (I've had to reschedule my launch date three times because of this -- all audio uploaded and ready to go, just waiting on them to do their part). I have since deleted it all and requested they close the account. I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be to have this issue when your product is being consumed and you're not getting paid for months. EDIT: After I posted this, I was contacted by another help desk person to get it resolved. This person was friendly and professional, and asked that I give them a chance to fix it. While there as *some* progress on resolving things, we are another three weeks into the whole ordeal and I'm getting the "gee sorry, please be patient" emails. I do not blame the help desk. They are just the messengers for a tech crew that can't seem to do the one thing they are employed to do. I have been more than patient. The one-star review remains.

The ease of use for uploading my podcast episodes is wonderful, even for a first-time podcast producer. I'm so happy I found Acast.

Superb platform with great analytics all for free

this is a good podcast site. mostly easy to take in hand.

Thank you for this platform which very useful for publishing podcasts through Spotify service!

I love how easy Acast is to use, and I really love how easy it is to make new episodes.
