Nobody asked me, but…
Every podcast is different, and every podcaster has different needs and goals.
I do four shows regularly, and each reflects _shockingly_ different decisions on hosting, editing, access, and how (or whether) it should make any money.

With that said, for almost every situation I can think of, decisions that deliberately limit how many new people can discover and learn to love your show for free is likely a movement in the wrong direction.
Doubtless, there are a handful of living humans who could make a HUGE hit of a show that& #39;s entirely paywalled or on an exclusive service or maybe even both. So stipulated.
Thing is, no one I personally know is one of those humans.

So, hey, Hakuna Matata to everybody and three cheers for diversity!

For any standard human who wants to make a podcast that strangers can listen to and share and—yes—learn to love, via ANY dingus that plays audio, I& #39;d advise caution on how quickly and completely you choose to hide your stuff from those sweet new earholes.
Post Script: if you ARE gonna make something like a @ditheringfm, for God& #39;s sake work toward making the user onboarding as terrific as those boys have.
It is, as we used to say, Best of Breed.
