These are some of the tools I use and recommend to make digital content happen.
Web Hosting
Bluehost

Podcast Hosting and Statistics
If you are taking the time to podcast, you’re going to want to know as much about your audience as you can. I’ve found that the free statistics are a good start, but aren’t really detailed enough.

I don’t use hosting at this point as I upload directly to my website. This will probably have to change as the site grows. Also, if you use a host like Godaddy, you’re going to run up against memory limits very quickly (that’s why I use Bluehost, see below).
