Launching a podcast without a domain? Yeah, that’s a big no-no. It’s like trying to adopt a puppy and then saying, “Hey, where’s the leash?”

We dish out the wisdom on why having your own website is the best way to keep your podcast from going missing. Grab your notepad because we’re about to dive into some seriously practical tips!

Takeaways:

• Launching a podcast without a domain is like having a puppy with no leash—totally chaotic.
• Your website is your podcast's home base; don't send people to a third-party link.
• Buying a domain is cheap insurance against losing your brand to someone else—trust me.
• If your friends ask for your podcast and you say you don't have a domain, well, good luck with that.
• Always set up easy-to-remember links for your podcast, or risk sounding like a total noob.
• Domains are only $20 a year, which is less than that fancy coffee you keep buying.
