It was easy to upload the mp3s and edit the details. We have had no issues losing recordings, and Buzzsprout doesn't have a lot of downtime for maintenance. The added features of being able to link through popular outlets like iTunes, Spotify, etc. has enabled us to expand our reach. > > **Cons**: I must admit that I'm not super techie, so I may not notice the weaknesses in this service. That being said, I've got no complaints, at all. > > We were seeking to find a way for those who had missed our Sunday church services to be able to hear the messages. What we discovered is that the messages were being heard far more broadly. We have people all over the United States who listen regularly and even a few overseas who listen. ----- ### "The ease of uploading podcasts through Buzzsprout is nothing short of empowering." — 5.0/5 > **Paolo** | *23 January 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our tiny independent company produces currently the only LGBT publication in print, though only a few times a year. We needed to reach a wider audience in different ways but since none of us in the team had experience with podcasts, the medium seemed daunting. Luckily, Buzzsprout was easily navigable and through its straightforwardly simple interface, using this became second nature. Consider us more motivated to create more podcasts and give greater rise to LGBT voices through the airwaves. > > **Cons**: At first, we weren't familiar with some of the terminology used in the program but with a little Googling, it wasn't hard to embrace the software. > > Simply, mastery of a medium that felt foreign to us at first. ----- ### "Couldn't launch a podcast without them" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *14 December 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: They guide you step by step through the confusing maze of launching a podcast. I especially like how you can create video clips of podcast sections to use on Facebook. Probably not a necessary feature but they go the extra mile to help you promote your show. > > **Cons**: I don't like how the player loads on our website. I haven't found a good way to get the podcast player to show up on my blog. I wish there was more functionality there. > > Overall, Buzzsprout really simplified the whole process of launching a podcast and finally got me to stop dragging my feet. ----- ### "Buzzsprout makes hosting simple" — 5.0/5 > **Tracy** | *13 December 2018* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buzzsprout is inexpensive and incredibly easy to use - making it easy for a newcomer to get started. With the advent of regular emails, blog posts, and a suite of podcasts about podcasting, the service is helping me grow my podcast and offering me the opportunity to encourage others who are launching new shows. > > **Cons**: The user interface has been slightly clunky but those issues have been resolved in the last couple of months. I'm excited about where BuzzSprout is headed. > > Terrific customer service. Did I mention it's super easy to use? I plan to stick with BuzzSprout for a long, long time. ----- ### "Good quality free service" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *17 September 2018* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and cost effective, our production gets out there in a timely manner > > **Cons**: The length of time that is up for free due to our target market growth > > For our business needs buzzsprout made it easy to get our production out there ----- Page: 1 / 31\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/242136/buzzsprout?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/242136/buzzsprout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
