The Anchor voyage is heading in a new direction.
Anchor has announced they will no longer distribute new podcasts to Apple podcasts and they will not automatically generate RSS feeds for new shows hosted on the platform.
Here's a little background; prior to Spotify acquiring Anchor one of the biggest selling points that Anchor used to bring in new podcasters, was that podcasters didn't need to worry about the hassle of submitting their shows to all the major podcasting directories (like Apple Podcasts).
In the past, Anchor pledged to take care of this grueling process for you, behind-the-scenes, and submitted your show to Apple podcast with a randomly-generated email address that was hosted on the Anchor domain.
Well all that is changing! Anchor is no longer going to submit new shows to the Apple podcast directory. Podcasters will be provided instructions on how to do this on their own.

Link in Bio Tools for Your Podcast
As informed podcasters, we want our podcasts listed in every directory but the problem with this is, it makes it hard to find a place where your listeners can find your show across all of the apps that they might use to listen to and follow your podcast.
What you really need is one page where you can list all of these options for your listeners, but it’s hard to do this because there are so many different apps out there. Listeners can be annoyed or even frustrated when their podcast listening app of choice is hard to find. This is not a very effective way to grow your show and get more loyal listeners!
In this episdose I share two tools that offer Smart Links that auto-open Podcast Apps and make it easier than ever before to get new listeners for your podcast.
