Co-Founder & CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/24/2021 "Great podcast platform. Easy distribution" 5/5 What do you like best about Anchor? I like how easy it is to upload, change information and schedule your episodes. My website is on Wordpress and I tried using a plugin there before - it was very clunky. Anchor made everything easier and even gives you the ability to distribute to all podcast platforms for free. If you have a large audience, you can also earn money by inserting ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Anchor? I wish a link would be available as soon as we schedule the episode. Youtube has the ability to do that - so that we could send a preview to guests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Anchor solving and how is that benefiting you?
