How to Rate & Review on iTunes and Stitcher

One of the kindest things you can do for a podcaster is to leave an honest rating and review for them on iTunes and/or Stitcher.I really do mean an honest review.You can also subscribe to their podcast so that you receive the episodes directly to your podcast app, but that’s for another post. I do point out how you can subscribe, when I can.

Click on the application and device you’re using and follow the accompanying directions. The directions are first written out and then shown in picture form.
Note 1: These are general directions, so everywhere it says “Podcast Show” think “Chasing Dreams”
Note 2: It can take upto 24 hours before your review shows up.
