Many people have asked, even we have pondered and answered, and now there is a report on the best day to release a podcast. Kind of. A report has recently been released providing percentages on how popular each day of the week is to release a new episode. The data may surprise you.

Best Practice
Use your voice to the best of your ability, and forgo trying to ‘sound like a podcaster’. The best advice we can give to anyone that is anxious about how their voice sounds, is to do it anyway. Your conversational voice will most likely work best; and the content is the most important part. Articulate yourself well and your voice will follow suit.
Blubrry News
- Blubrry offices will be closed the Monday after Christmas (Boxing day) and the Monday after New Year’s Day. We will also be out the Friday afternoons of Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.
- We are still head down on a bunch of new features and a couple of new products. Look for some announcements after the first of the year.
- One of those features will be Value 4 Value, where you will be able to get donations to your show via Sats (small parts of bitcoin). This show is enabled for V4V so if you are listening on a supported app (Fountain, Podverse, or others), you can send us a boost.

Question of the Week
Question: What are the 3 or 4 best destinations to submit my podcast to?
Answer: Well, you want to try to be as everywhere as you can. But if you want to pick the most important ones, I would say submit your show to these four:
- Apple Podcasts
- Google Podcasts
- Spotify
- Podcast Index
It doesn’t hurt to submit to all the others. If you are a PowerPress or Blubrry user, go to the destinations settings and submit to them all. (Don’t lose any sleep over it)
