Anchor is an online podcast creation tool owned by Spotify. Anchor lets anyone create, edit, and host a podcast for 100% free service that anyone can use using a mobile app or through their website. Anchor provides creators with unlimited free hosting service and includes an option to move their podcasting service from other service providers (e.g., Podbean, SoundCloud) for free. Anchor makes it easy to set-up a podcast station for listeners to subscribe to for notifications about new episodes.
