INTERESTED IN STARTING A PODCAST?

So you would upload bonus audio episodes through Patreon (normal episodes through Buzzsprout). Did you say the supporters would need to have the Patreon app on their phones in order to get the bonus content on their platform of choice? Otherwise the only way they will know about it is by email notification? Also the question in this video asked about how to submit videos on YT for Patreon supporters only. That wasn't answered. Thanks Buzzsprout. 😀

This video does not provide any information on how to actually set up bonus episodes or to offer ad-free episodes. Great, I can generate a private RSS feed righ on Patreon, but how do I actually get the private content to Patreon from Buzzsprout without it posting to my public feeds?

I just wish they had a Spanish language section, podcasts are starting to get noticed in Latin America and all this tips and tutorials would help a lot for Spanish speakers future podcasters. Where should I send my resume 😜

I want to start a podcast. I'm thinking daily or 3x weekly 5-10 minute thoughtful satire. Can I simply have a donation setup on patreon for those who would like to support my podcasts?

What if you just want one person on there at a time one person today then another the next day basically like a personal private one on one podcasts with no one else at the time

CAn I duplicate all my public episodes on Buzzsprout to patreon automatically somehow or must they be done individually?

Really helpful video - thank you - does anyone know how you can adopt a 'pay per listen' model - for those who don't wan't to subscribe to patreon - but would like to pay every time they listen to an episode?
