Podcasts can be migrated to YouTube but we will not be doing that with Dog Words for two reasons. First, if we need to make edits to an episode or update a description, we do that once with our Buzzsprout hosting and the change goes out to all podcast services except YouTube. Unfortunately, that creates extra work for podcasters. Second, YouTube does not provide any download stats to Buzzsprout. We like to know how many downloads we are getting and where are listeners are. Rather than take on the burden of managing a YouTube podcast feed separate from all the other services, we ask that you use one that is listed on our website.Make a donation at RosieFund.org or through our Facebook page.
