Sounds crazy, but it happens way more often than you think. In this episode of <a href= "https://podtasticaudio.com/">Podtastic Audio</a>, I'm diving into why it’s so important to own your content and back up your podcast before something unexpected happens. I’ll walk you through real stories, my own experience with podcast backups, and the exact steps you need to take today to make sure your show sticks around for generations. We’re talking about: <ul> <li>Why you can’t rely on Spotify, YouTube, or Facebook to protect your content</li> <li>How to properly download and store your MP3s</li> <li>The surprisingly easy way to save your RSS feed (yes, the one that looks like a bunch of crazy code)</li> <li>Best practices for organizing your podcast backups without making a giant mess</li> <li>How I personally backed up my very first podcast — and why you should too</li> </ul> ⚡ Pro Tip: Backing up your show today is a whole lot easier than trying to rebuild it from scratch tomorrow.
