There comes a point in every podcast when it's necessary to say a URL. If for nothing else, at least your podcast's own home on the Internet. (And you should have a domain for your podcast!) Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/sharingurls ## 1. Speak as few URLs as possible (per episode) - Pretty Links Pro: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/go/prettylinkpro ## 2. Defer to your chapters or episode notes - Check out Knick Knack News for a great example of actionable episode notes: https://knickknacknews.com/ - Captivate: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/captivate - Buzzsprout: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout - Blubrry: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/blubrry - I'm pushing hard for Podcasting 2.0 to turn our current podcast chapters into “super chapters”: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/469 ## 3. Never say "https://" or "www." ## 4.

Make friendly URLs that make sense - Episode numbers didn't actually matter: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/are-podcast-episode-numbers-really-necessary-in-podcasting-show-notes-tap175/ ## 6. Say "slash" not "forward slash" or "backslash" ## 7. Slow down and speak clearly - Podcast transcripts: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-to-use-podcast-transcripts/ ## 8. Clarify or avoid ambiguity ## 9. Be careful with top-level domains that aren't .com - That Story Show: http://thatstoryshow.com/ ## 10. Beware case-sensitivity ## 11.
