Editorial Review
Buzzsprout is a podcasting platform that simplifies audio file hosting, distribution to major directories (Spotify, Apple, Google), and episode analytics for creators of all experience levels. For educators using podcasting as an assessment medium or student publishing project, it removes the technical barriers of audio distribution. The freemium model provides 2 hours of uploads per month free with 90-day hosting, which is workable for short course projects. Education fit is moderate — most relevant for media literacy, journalism, and communications courses.
