Yesterday, @mijustin took a stab at renaming the confusing new options in Apple Podcasts Connect, but I'm not sure he hit the mark. I think it’s more helpful to think of it as four options in a 2×2 grid.

That’s my point. In that case, Apple’s 3 categories (as listed in my video) make the most sense: - Free (RSS) - Freemium (RSS + bonus/ad-free) - Paid Better to be clear about the most common use-cases than give people an option that only a tiny % might use.

The RSS feed option includes: - free public - freemium The “add a new show” option includes: - free exclusive* - freemium exclusive* - premium exclusive * I suspect that “add an RSS feed” link on the “new show” page converts it to a public show.

So I guess the reason to pay Apple $20/yr for free shows is to test if an idea gets any traction before investing in cross-platform hosting.

“Free shows hosted only on Apple Podcasts” seems incredibly niche.
The majority of free podcasts will continue to be syndicated via RSS: publish it in one place, and it automatically distributes everywhere.
