The tools of the trade - The podcasting apps I used to create 341 podcasts in a year.

Zencastr

Zencastr - While many rely on Zoom for recording, I use Zencastr. Zoom is excellent for meetings, but Zencastr video and audio is just better for editing and podcasting. Because the audio and video is recording on both ends and then auto uploaded to Google Drive when you finish recording, you get great quality. They are free right now to help podcasters out during Covid, so you have nothing to lose on this one.

Conte.ai

Postoplan - I used to use Buffer, but it was a bit pricey, and I kept running into issues, so I moved to Postoplan because I got a deal at AppSumo. It allows me to schedule posts, and while it's not perfect, it is affordable and getting better.

ifttt

IFTTT - This is web automation made simple, and it helps me in several ways. I can connect my RSS feeds to a ton of other web apps. I use the software to send RSS feeds to a Google Sheet for tracking, send social messages to Slack, and notify me of various other mentions of my podcast.

Calendly

Calendly - This allows my guests to book a mutually convenient time. Once I started using this, booking guests became a lot easier. They have a free plan, but the paid has many great options, including confirmation emails, reducing no-shows.
