New year, new podcast host
Podcasts will now be published on Captivate at pod.dups.ca but not to worry, they will also be posted here on tales.dups.ca!
In 2025, I launched tales.dups.ca and photos.dups.ca, alongside my podcast, “Tales Under the Cat Tree.” With this week’s release marking 40 episodes of recorded content, I’ve decided to move my podcast hosting from Substack to Captivate.fm. The new page for the podcast content can be found at pod.dups.ca
While Substack will remain the home for my writing, I’ve realized the value of using a mature platform dedicated to doing one thing exceptionally well. After researching options like Transistor.fm and Podbean, I landed on Captivate. I’ve already had a minor technical hurdle resolved by a real support person—which says a lot in today’s world!
As far as I can tell, this transition should be seamless for listeners; in fact, my latest episodes are already being routed through the new host. I’ll be updating the links here on Substack shortly and will do my best to ensure there are no disruptions.
To answer the inevitable question: there’s nothing inherently “bad” about Substack’s podcast hosting—it’s just a bit basic. I’m excited to see what a top-tier, specialized platform can help me with.
