"I've been podcasting with Podbean for over a year! It's my one year anniversary. I couldn't be more proud of Podbean and what it offers at reasonable premium prices. I've tried other podcasting apps, but this one fits our podcasting needs at a great price. We have unlimited bandwidth and we have live shows! There is no glitching during live shows and uploading is simple and user-friendly. Podbean has excellent customer service and answers my emails within 24 hours! "
