Spotify vs. Apple Podcasts, a seemingly never-ending debate in the podcast world. As the number of podcasts launched and released has gone up in the past few years, as had the number of podcast listeners.

Question: Does Blubrry support video podcasting?

Answer: Yes! Files are larger so you will need to be on an advanced plan or Pro Hosting. All the functionality is there in all of our hosting plans for video, it just depends on your file storage needs.

Last week Mike went live on Facebook to debate whether shows should be recorded live; you be the judge. Be sure to Subscribe or Follow at PodcastHelpDesk.com.  This show is where Mike gets to geek out on the tech side of podcasting and do a deep dive into it.

The best place for any Blubrry support is our ticket system (https://blubrry.com/support/). This gives the whole team access rather than direct emails or calls.
