Hi Kate,

You can learn more about the RSS feeds that Substack directly registers your podcast to be distributed on here: https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038462911

Today we have the tools for be best in class distribution of podcasts. You get to know who your audience is, engage in community with them, and you can create an enriched listener experience with multimedia. Our editor is simple — you can upload a file (mp3, mp4, m4a, x-m4a, aac, aiff, x-aiff, amr, flac, ogg, wav, and x-wav) that you create and edit elsewhere or record directly into the podcasting player. One day I imagine we might have more tools to directly cut, add music, and edit in the editor. In the meantime you can edit anywhere and upload directly to Substack.

Is there a way to maintain anchor as the editor and distributor and post to substack for the community benefits?

I believe so! You can upload any audio file to Substack so as long as you can download before publishing that should work.

I was doing this earlier in the year. I would build my podcast in Anchor (now Spotify for Podcasters), not publish it (I think I had to schedule it for publication in order to be able to download an audio file), download the audio, then upload it to Substack. It was pretty easy (just had to remember to un-schedule it for publication in Anchor).

Now I'm experimenting with Soundtrap on a Chromebook. Cheap and easy. My expectation is that Substack will eventually offer music, transitions, etc. to integrate into the podcast capability. Then I'll go full-Substack.
