In their own words
Blubrry
Blubrry provides podcast hosting and related services for publishing, distributing, analyzing, and monetizing audio or video podcasts. Hosting plans are measured by monthly publishing hours rather than file size, and can distribute shows to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other directories. The Standard 1.5 plan is $7 a month and includes up to 1.5 hours per month, standard statistics, and a managed WordPress site. Other hosting options include Standard 3 at $15 a month, Advanced plans from $25 a month, and Pro Unlimited at $100 a month; Pro Unlimited includes unlimited publishing, bandwidth usage fees, multiple shows or users, dynamic advertising, FTP, and PowerPress multi-program mode. PowerPress is a free WordPress podcasting plugin with publishing, RSS, SEO, player, and directory tools, and can be used without Blubrry hosting on supported WordPress sites. Vid2Pod converts YouTube videos or playlists into audio podcast episodes for RSS distribution. Statistics vary by plan; separate free statistics are available without Blubrry hosting.
