Every podcast player has a <link>
field that lists your official website. This is the website address that players like Google Podcasts and others use to point people to learn more about your podcast.
By default, your podcast hosts will set this to their own mini-site for your podcast. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS. This only benefits your podcast host.
Here are some instructions on how to change the website in your hosting provider.
*** WARNING: If you see instructions to Change DNS settings from your host, you're in the wrong spot. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING WITH YOUR DOMAIN name. You are just looking to add your website address to your host. ***
