Question: Is there any tools to promote my podcast with audio teasers? Answer: Yes. One of my favorite new apps/tools out there is called Clammr. Love it. I think of it as the Twitter for audio. You can share 24 seconds of audio on any social media channel, on your website, etc. Great way to promote individual episodes.
